Rosa Clara Bridal

Rosa Clara is a wedding designer who wanted to help women find a unique and special dress for her big day. These are some of the dresses that were shown at Miami Fashion Week. I love how original these dresses are. The designer found that many women were deeply dissatisfied with what was available in the wedding market. These brides wanted to get married in a special gown that reflected their uniqueness. Rosa Clara Bridal is truly unique and carries a wide variety of sleeved gowns. When I was looking for my gown, I was not interested in wearing a strapless gown as I wanted to hide the arm and side-boob fat that is on display when wearing a strapless gown. I found my dress at Ever After in Miami. It was a beautiful dress by Reem Acra named “I am Beautiful”. I might have gone with Rosa Clara if I had known about them when I was looking. Which Rosa Clara gown is your favorite?

MailPix Photo Englargement

I have been trying to put up my wedding photos since they came back from the photographer in August, 2012, but have not found time to do so. Finally, as I have made time to put them together, we are probably going to be moving in April. Before I found out about the move, I ordered photo enlargements of a few of favorite wedding pictures. I want to put the largest pictures in the middle and put smaller pictures of the wedding around it in a collage type fashion. The photo sizes will range from 20×30 photos, 12×18 pictures, to 5 x 7.

How to Wear Yellow to Work!

My sister, Bobbie wore this outfit to work, minus the sunglasses, of course. She got a ton of compliments on how cheerful she seemed that day. I told her that while she is very cheerful at work that it might have been the shirt. Yellow is a mood elevator. If you having a bad week, you can make it better by wearing yellow. I wrote about the positive effects of yellow last year.

House Hunting!

Now that my hubby and I are with child, we have been on the hunt for a new house. We stopped looking for a while as everything we looked at that was in our price range needed a lot of work. They were all livable, but extremely outdated. It is hard to imagine maxing out our budget to buy the home and then needing to come up with a ton more money to redo bathrooms, the kitchen, and in some cases add hurricane shutters.  We would have to either compromise our choice of neighborhood or our tastes. Neither option was ever going to happen so we stopped looking for a while.
