Paris treats in NYC!!
Ever since I walked into the Tiffany's of Macaroons (aka Laduree in Paris) I have wished there was a way to have them here in the US. Well, in 5 weeks this wish will come true because did you hear....
Laduree has opened in NYC and guess who is going to NYC in October for the first time?!?!?!
Yep, you guessed it... Je sues une fille très heureuse!

Weekend Getaway: Grand Canyon
We spent the weekend up in Sedona, Arizona and then made our way to the Grand Canyon on Saturday morning. After living in Arizona for over 7 years, I can finally can say I have seen the Grand Canyon.
It was beyond amazing.
Honestly, the pictures my husband took do not do it justice.

Friday's Party:Perfect Pear Engagement Party
I find the theme of this engagement party "the perfect pear" via celebrations at home to not only be adorable for a fall engagement party, but a theme that would be easy to style. I especially love the menu cards and of course the initialed frame above the cocktail table.

I am currently reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. It is the sequel to The Hunger Games.

In 93 days I will be....
I finally decided to lace up the shoes, hit the pavement or more so the treadmill until it cools down, (I am not one to run in 100+ degrees. ) and will be running my first 1/2 marathon on November 6th! Eeks.
My true training begins next week.I'm excited and scared but I know if I did not sign up I would regret it as I am running this race in memory of my mom. This summer marked 20 years of her passing and I wanted to personally do something in her memory.
Now here's to finding some cute running clothes!
