men & women communicate differently….we all have emotions, we simply express ourselves differently…i remember when i was  in first grade, a little boy would chase me every day & try to steel my lunch…my parents said “he must like me”…i was puzzled to say the least….as i’ve grown i’ve realized how important it is to appreciate another persons point of view…even if he’s wrong;)….as you attempt to decode the signals of your mate remember, they don’t call it the “opposite sex” for nothing

may your misunderstandings bring you closer to the one you love….xoxo

bliss* just launched a new super cute blog…xoxo

a beautiful monique lhuillier gown & stunning christian lououtin sling backs

the florals matched the underside of the bride’s shoes…

the four seasons in beverly hills was the perfect backdrop for this lovely wedding….

every detail was a delight for the eyes & the senses….

the entire celebration was beautifully produced by the International Event Company

the guests enjoyed dinner & cake in the stunning ballroom

and danced the night away….

“I want a Sunday kind of love, 
A love to last, past Saturday night,
I’d like to know it’s more than love at first sight,
I want a Sunday kind of love. 

I want a love that’s on the square,
Can’t seem to find somebody to care,
I’m on a lonely road that leads me nowhere,
I need a Sunday kind of love.

I do my Sunday dreaming, and all my Sunday scheming, 
Every minute, every hour, every day, 
I’m hoping to discover a certain kind of lover, 
Who can show me the way.

My arms need someone to enfold,
To keep me warm when Mondays are cold,
A love for all my life to have and to hold,
I want a Sunday kind of love.”

ahhh…relaxation….so underrated….there is something so sweet about the gentle undulation of nothingness…a slow walk….a foggy morning in slippers & a smile….may this friday be full of nothing…may you bask in the relaxation of your youth….may the hood of an old car be the sweet spot for your afternoon nap….and please please take me with you….naps are a little slice of heaven…xoxo

there is something so sweet about an engagement…the thrill of knowing something wonderful is around the corner….the moment before the rest of your lives as husband & wife…its a wonderful time to document…so much love & anticipation….whether you have engagement portraits taken by a professional or by your mother in law to be or a friend….take photos….lots & lots of photos….xoxoxo

another perfect pair…

hot pink christian dior pumps & the love
of your life in coordinating striped socks

mmmm mmmm good…xoxo

for a bride the moments before a wedding are often full of activity…getting ready is in some ways as much of a ceremony as exchanging vows…the dress hangs in a window, longing to drape the curves of a bride…make-up artists, hair dressers, bridemaids, tending to the bride….but what about the groom?

its important that your man is pampered a bit before your ceremony….i love this idea; have a barber come to your groom & his groomsmen….the guys can have an old fashion shave…share cigars and stories as they get ready in style….it’s such a relaxing & classy way for men to enjoy their morning…

plus it makes for simply beautiful photographs….

and most importantly….when he leans in to kiss you, you’ll surely appreciate his smooth
sweet smelling skin…at the end of the day isn’t really all about the kisses?

XOXO
