Partnered :: Spring Flings with Vera

Vera Wang has introduced 2 new additions for Spring 2012 to her already fabulous menagerie of White by Vera Wang bridesmaid dresses at David’s Bridal. With a reasonable price point you won’t get any objections from your bridesmaids.

The first dress is a little satin number with a strap on one side and a pretty, sophisticated bow on the other. It is simple and sophisticated and comes in shades to compliment every spring color palette.

The second creation is made with layers of soft netting and has a sweet yet sexy illusion neckline and a satin sash to accentuate the waist! It’s available in Charcoal (pictured) and Ebony for an understated and modern wedding palette.

Pair them with one of Vera’s gorgeous shoes and your bridesmaids would love you for your discerning taste! If you are loving these flirty spring looks, you can try them on in person at David’s Bridal!

Happy Almost Spring!

What a Weekend :: School Field Trip

This weekend my husband’s going on a field trip with his classmates. Yes, he’s a grown man. And no, he’s not going on a yellow school bus (but our family van, no less). So I’m inspired to round up all things school for this weekend. Have a lovely one!

Clockwise from top left: Try this messy librarian bun. Wear this teacher-like chiffon blouse in rust. Eat this apple pancake. Put on this secretly slimming pencil skirt (especially after that pancake). Update my books with this cool spine.

xoxo, Henny V.

DIY Friday :: A Simply Fruity Valentine

Happy Friday! Can you believe we’re almost at the end of January?! Time seriously flies around here. With the end of January, you know Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. So we found this super cute, and super simple Valentine’s you can do for your loved ones. Twig & Thistle created these naturally sweet fruit stickers that you can print at home to stick them on their favorite fruits. Sneak them in their lunch bags or have them as part of your breakfast in bed! The great thing about it is that it won’t add calories like chocolates would! If you don’t want to bother dealing with your temperamental inkjet printer, you can always buy them already printed on food safe stickers for only 2 bucks more (it’s okay, we don’t judge). Enjoy!
