The Georgian

Stumbled upon some pictures of an event I worked at as an intern, The Georgian Apartment Launch outside of D.C.  Worked with the wonderful C to C Events,  Ike Leggett made an appearance and their were sushi girls!

Feather Extensions and Hair Tinsel

I have noticed lots of fun hair adornments lately, a la feather extensions and hair tinsel.

Feather Extensions

My friend Bridget has a feather in and it is so trendy and fun!


These are from www.finefeatherheads.com






There's many salons where you can get the feathers put in or your can order a kit from an online supplier.


Hair Tinsel

First spotted on Adrienne Maloof, of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,  it is exactly what it sounds.
 

You can order your own at www.hairtinsel.net




I like both trends but I think my curly hair would probably "eat it"  and the extensions would end up a matted mess or just disappear into my hair all together .  Thoughts?

Fancy Jello Shots?

Dearest Natasha sent me a link to  http://www.austinweddingblog.com/2010/11/wedding-trend-watch-jelly-shots.html  , where they were showcasing  jello shots fancy enough to be served at a fabulous fete. 

Maybe it's time spent in Greek Life that I was intrigued/ scared.

You know what there is even a blog devoted to Jelly Shots http://jelly-shot-test-kitchen.blogspot.com/ 

Here are some of my fav creations of theirs



Blackberry Cosmo Jelly Shot





Rainbow Cherry Jigglers




Candy Corn Shot




Mimosa Jelly Shot



Neopolitan





Cucumber Lime Margarita  ( Here ya go Morgie )



These are definitely a step up from the cherry jello in a dixie cup days. I might have to experiment at my next party an then report back. 

Would you have this at your next party?

Miss Kristen's Biking to Beat MS

The Fabulous Pageant Queen Kristen is biking from Houston to Austin to raise awareness and money for multiple sclerosis. To help her reach her fundraising goal click the link below.

"Multiple sclerosis is a progressive neurological disease that affects people in many different ways. It could be paralysis one day, loss of vision the next or impaired memory the day after that. Living with MS means living with uncertainty.

When it comes to MS, only two things are certain: 

·      Another American is newly diagnosed with MS every hour of every day"
