Cinderella-Inspired Prom Dresses - Meet Me At Midnight

 Hey there princess!

Prom season is upon us, and I have seen so many gorgeous gowns on the market! Attending prom was such fun part of my high school experience, and I drew inspiration from my favorite Disney Princess, Ariel, when selecting my dress. For me, the goal when selecting a dress for any event is to choose something that I can look back at photos of in ten years and not feel completely mortified by how dated I look. Simple, classic, and elegant are all elements that make a dress a great investment. 

Looking at the options for this year, I thought there were tons of gorgeous gowns that would be perfect for a Cinderella-inspired look! Cinderella is such a classic princess, and the blue of her ballgown would look perfect on anyone! Pair it with some glass slippers, and you'll have any wicked stepsisters out there green with envy! Prom is such a special time - who knows, the next time you step into a floor-length gown may be on your wedding day! Make this dress count!

Don't forget to give the prince your digits, and try to be home by midnight!

Breakfast for Dinner - A Spring Tablescape

 Hey there princess!

I have absolutely loved the weather finally warming up and the sun coming out to shine! I am still basking in the glow of Easter from a few weeks ago, and I wanted to share a little tablescape that I did for dinner a few nights ago. 

One of my favorite "easy dinners" to make is breakfast for dinner. I have mini waffle makers for every season, and it is the perfect thing to make meal time a little more fun! 

I purchased my yellow gingham tablecloth from Target a few years back, and had L.B. Originals (aka preppy papergirl on Etsy click here) embroider napkins for me. The blue dishes you see are Spode Blue Italian dinner plates which was my wedding pattern (you can find them on Amazon here). The ceramic rabbit is from Target, purchased two or three years ago.

For this meal, I also mixed in a few of my dishes from Anthropologie for side plates and juice glasses. I love the fun colors, and I think they couple beautifully with the hyacinth that my mother gave me.

For dinner, I made waffles (you can find the Easter egg shaped maker here) along with scrabbled eggs, bacon, and breakfast potatoes. For me, one of the best things about making waffles is that I can make a large batch and freeze anything that we don't eat! I do the exact same thing with French toast and it is such a time saver in the mornings!

What about you? Where are you getting your spring table inspiration? Dinner is such a fun and special time to sit together as a family, and I love trying new things to bring everyone together in a fun and memorable way. 

Pink and Orange - This Summer's Ultimate Color Combination

Hey there princess!

Spring is in full swing, and I am loving seeing all of the new items hit the fashion scene. One trend that I have been so happy to see is the return of the pink/orange color combo. 

I remember when I first went to a 6 week camp in Pennsylvania away from my home here in Texas when I was about 15 I decorated my whole dorm room in pink and orange and it was a huge source of joy! When I went off to college in 2008, I once again decked my dorm room out in pink and orange and loved hanging out in all of my colorful fabulousness. 

Below are some of the fun things that I have spotted online in this fun and bright combination. Please enjoy and share where you are finding great summer finds in the comment section! The brighter the better!
