As the wedding season is quickly sneaking up, I wanted to share what trends I’ve come across that will be incorporated in many of 2012′s weddings.

1. Vintage AND Modern–Yep, a combination of vintage beauty and a modern flare is a big wedding trend this year. The super romantic use of delicate lace paired with a contemporary accent, like a ultra sleek seat cover or eccentric centerpiece, is what you should try to go for in order to achieve this trend. These opposites totally attract all the attention that you want on your big day!

2. Bright Jewel Tones–Trendy as well as sophisticated. These words describe the bride who will incorporate bright color blocks in her wedding this year. This is a trend that must be approached carefully because, if you don’t choose the right color pairings, your wedding could potentially go from chic to cheap-looking. It’s important to choose colors on the color spectrum that compliment each other (teal and purple, for example). This look is extremely bold and will definitely grab the attention of your guests!

3. Different Venues–This trend is one major way to make your wedding truly unique. Lately, brides are going out-of-the-box when it comes to choosing the location for the ceremony as well as the reception. Brides are trading in hotel ballrooms for botanical gardens and historic buildings in order to reflect the couples’ personal style and personality.

Regardless if you follow these trends or not, your wedding should be what you want it to be and make sure you incorporate who you are as a couple.

I’m obsessed with this concept to brighten up your bar. What’s better then skittles and vodka?

1. Separate your skittles into colors
2. Mix 60 skittles and approx. 180mL vodka in empty water bottles
3. Shake the bottles well and leave them overnight
4. Lots of white residue will be left, filter this out using a coffee filter or similar. Repeat as needed

Chill (in freezer) and serve.

First Anthropolgie then the Limited, and now BEBE have gone bridal. Bebe is offereing a bridal line, which ranges from $229 for a sparkly column dress to $2,500 for a gown by Project Runway’s Rami Kashou.

It wouldn’t be my personal style to get my gown at Bebe, however, a bridesmaid dress would be right up my ally. They retail chain also offers veils, shoes, and other accessories for your big day!

The line will be sold in four stores —Oak Street in Chicago, Soho in New York, Rodeo Drive and Aventura in Los Angeles—as well as online.

I realize that my previous post about my obsession with Pinterest is one that everyone can relate too. Pinterest is no longer an inspiration site for vendors, it seems that every female in every field is addicted.

I’m not saying that I am not still in love with the site, however, I am starting to get frustrated with myself when I think about the amount of time I spend pinning. Running a business, being a mom, and being a wife, allows only a little time for me. I am using that time to pin things that I’m not actually cooking, wearing, making, or buying.

Instead of giving up the site altogether, I’ve decide to challenge myself. If I am going to continue to have an account, I need to actually be using these pins in my real life. My challenge is…..apply two pins a month to my real life. I actually need to make a recipe, purchase a top, organize a closet, craft a DIY. Otherwise, I am just wasting what little time I have. What do you think? Nothing like challenging myself to all my readers who can keep me accountable. You can follow my progress on my new board Pins I’ve applied to my life. The challenge begins  April 1st.

Wish me luck!!

One of my all time favorite episodes of friends is the one where Ross gets a spray tan. If you haven’t seen it, your missing out, CLICK to watch. Spray tans have come a long way from the horror stories of people looking like Willy Wonka’s Oompa Loompas. Today, spray tans are becoming less scary and more chic. However, getting a custom spray tan is the way to go. People tend to opt for the spray tan booths which are less expensive but they do not have the ability to get certain parts of your body ex: inside legs, your sides, and don’t forget your bum crease (sorry but it’s true).

Whether it’s for prom, a wedding, or just to make yourself feel better, more women (and men!) are getting spray tans. All Things Glow in downtown Dublin, OH at Shamrock Salon. offers an all natural, anti-aging, custom spray tan!!

1. All of the products, made by Infinity Sun, are all-natural and work as an anti-aging agent. No streaks, no Oompa Loompa orange, and it won’t come off on your clothes the next day! Also, they have a Glow on the Go product line that’s great for quick tanning solutions.

2. These products have been featured in several magazines such as O (Oprah’s magazine), Life & Style, and Ok!. Also, several presenters at the Emmy’s were sprayed down with Infinity Sun products.

3. Many celebrities, like Britney Spears and Jessica Alba, swear by Infinity Sun’s products. Spears even had them on her Circus tour!

4. I know what you’re thinking. . .if A-list celebrities are getting sprayed with this stuff, it must cost a fortune. Nope! The cost of getting your glow on is only $30! Keep in mind that, with correct exfoliation before getting sprayed and religious use of moisturizer after a spray tan can last up to two weeks!

5. Wedding coming up? Group discounts are available! For parties of 6+, All Things Glow will come to you to spray you all down and the bride is FREE!
