The IT dress!
Gucci Spring 2011 Front Knot Dress
It's in all the magazines and it has been worn by Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Hayden Panetierre, Jennifer Lawrence, one of my favorites only because of Mad Men-Janurary Jones, countless models, but none have actually caught my attention so strikingly than my favorite- the absolutely gorgeous, stunning, beautiful royal Charlotte Casiraghi. She is most definitely the most beautiful person on this planet.

30 years since the Royal Wedding...
No, I was not born yet, but my mother told me how she woke up at 4 in the morning to watch this royal wedding. Which is the same thing I did for the wedding of their first born William exactly 3 months ago...(; The ending to this love story was not very pretty, and the death of Diana was absolutely tragic. I still remember being very young and listening to my grandma inform my mother that Diana, Princess of Wales, had died in a car crash in Paris. My mother watched the funeral and I, within the last 10 years, have been reading much about Diana in the few thousand books I have about her. (Okay, not a few thousand, but I do have about 16!) I have watched so many specials about her and I have always admired her and have considered her one of my favorites royals. Anyways, today would have been their 30th wedding anniversary. How sad, 30 years is not a lot. Diana would have also been 50 years young.
What a life! May her soul be blessed.

IT ALL ENDS TONIGHT!
So tonight is the last installment for the Harry Potter movies! I am so psyched! I will be leaving in a little to a nice japanese restaurant for my friend's younger sister's birthday, and then straight to the theatre with another friend! Of course, I've had my midnight premiere tickets paid for a while... I am so excited! I hope everyone had a great night! "Wingardium Leviosa!"
Good morning!
This morning I was delighted when I saw "French Vanilla" as an option in this coffee shop. I do not like the taste of coffee, so I enjoy having French vanilla because it's a different coffee bean. Let me just say, it was a great way to start the day! I hope everyone has a great day!

Palm Beach
Written by: Victoria Grace
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! I, along with some family friends took a holiday and headed for Palm Beach, Fl. The beach was beautiful, the sun was shining, the ambiance was radiant. I loved it. We strolled through Worth Avenue, Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Estate, the Kennedy family Palm Beach Estate and St. Edwards (the church the Kennedy family would regularly attend)! Everyone was so charming! From the workers at stores, to the church-goers. We got free key lime pies at a restaurant and I could go on and on! Here are some photos from my trip. I hope you enjoy!

My love for anything-wedding
Written by: Victoria Grace
I have been designing wedding dresses and wedding cakes since the 5th grade, maybe even before. I have a fascination with the grandeur of weddings. I love the TLC because of "Say Yes To The Dress" "4 Weddings" & "Cake Boss". Within the past five years, it seems to me, that the wedding dress trend is the "strapless mermaid". At first, I was very fond of the trend. I look back at old vintage 50s "mermaid" dresses, and I find them to be extremely stunning and sensual. But to the past few weddings I have been too, it seems as if thats the only style of dress that exists.

Home-made Cake Pops
Written by: Victoria Grace
How To Make Cake Pops:
1. Bake a cake following the directions on the box and let it cool.2. In a bowl, using your hands, literally break the cake into crumbs. Turn the cake into a dirt-like
substance.
3. Using half of a can of whatever frosting you
desire, mix the frosting with the cake crumbs
desire, mix the frosting with the cake crumbs
until you have a play-dou substance.
4. Like you you would roll a meat-ball, roll a cake ball.
5. Stick in the balls into the freezer.
6. Stick the other half of the can of frosting, into a
microwave for 15-20 seconds. But be careful, it
microwave for 15-20 seconds. But be careful, it
can get real hot!
7. Using a spoon, you can drop some melted frosting on the balls and quickly add sprinkles on top.
8. Place your cake balls in the freezer for 25 minutes.
9. Take the balls out and add a stick on the ball to make it a pop.
10. Put them back in the freezer for 10 minutes and then enjoy!
Here are how mine turned out!
I hope you try them, they're delicious!

Red Velvet Cupcakes
Written by: Victoria Grace
It was a very chill summer wednesday. Since we are technically still in Spring, it was very rainy. My friend Lauren decided to stop by my home. There was barely anything we could do, but we always manage to entertain ourselves somehow. We chose to bake some cupcakes, but not just any ordinary cupcakes, no, red velvet ones. Inspired by "Cake Boss" & "D.C. Cupcakes" on the TLC, we wanted to make some professional-looking ones...well professional looking to OUR standards...ha! Here are a few photographs. Tell me some stories you may have, such as, what's your best memory with red velvet cakes?

New Scarf!
Written by: Victoria Grace
I was at Macy's today and bought a summery scarf. I chose lavender though there are a variety of pastel colors to choose from. If you're interested, I found it in the Ralph Lauren department for 50% off. It was originally $38.00 and I got it for $19.00. I have decided to only buy items which will last a long time. Scarfs are forever and summer pastel colors are too. I can wear this scarf and so can a 65 year old woman. Two women asked me where I had found it. I took their comments as a sign for me to buy it! ha!

Introducing Starbuck's New "Petites"
Written by: Victoria Grace
"Petites" are new small treats Starbuck's is now offering. They're cute but more importantly, very tasty. They can get rather messy, for example, the "red velvet whoppie pie", two cookie shaped red velvet cakes smashed together with cream cheese icing in the center like a cookie sandwich, had me asking for napkins. The cake pops were rather delightful, I personally enjoyed their "rocky road cake pop" over their "birthday cake pop". Next time you're at a Starbucks, check them out, they're good to look at, and better to eat!

I went shopping today for nothing in particular, but came home with three very lovely items. One being a fabulous hat! Hopefully later this summer I'll go on a cruise with some friends and make some great use of it. I love it, it is so beautiful. If you're interested, it's by Ralph Lauren and very chic!
With love,
Victoria
