Spring has finally sprung, which means it’s Kentucky Derby time! If you can’t make it down to the races, there’s no reason that you can’t celebrate the day (and yes, it’s an entire day long-affair in honor of those two heart-stopping minutes) in style. This year the Kentucky Derby will be held on Saturday, May […]

30 Day Challenge | No Carbs!
I have shingles. You know, that disease that is usually reserved for people who are 60 years old – yeah, that one. It’s one tiny patch just to the right of my tailbone, which is quite uncomfortable but so far nothing I can’t handle with a bit of whining. The problem here is that I […]
Wedding Wednesday | The Veil
For my entire life I’ve had a couple of dreams for my wedding – and one of them was to have a loooooong veil. I’ve also always loved the way a blusher (the piece of the veil that falls in front of the brides face) looks. (Oh, and one of the only things my father […]
{Coachella Coverage} Cocktail Hour | Crack Baby
You guys – it’s Coachella time! To kick off the first of this three weekend, musical extravaganza in the desert, I’ve decided to provide you with a tibble that’s totally Coachelle appropriate, and Royal approved. Ellie Goulding (one of my absolute, favorite artists) is performing on April 11 (today!) and April 18 at Coachella. She also performed at […]
Wedding Wednesday | Sweating For The Wedding
Do you know what I am loathing most about this whole wedding planning thing? It’s the “getting in shape for the wedding” thing. In high school (and for a brief time in college) I was an athlete. Two or three hours of practice per day were the norm. Even during the off-season I was still […]
In Sickness And In Health
I woke up at 3:30am yesterday to the sound of my fiance throwing up in the bathroom. Now, I confess … I am not proud of my reaction. I banished him – the love of my life, who was so sick that he decided to take a bath in the middle of the night to […]
Wedding Wednesday || Floral Arrangements Galore
The strangest thing about wedding planning is probably that I’m having the most fun with floral arrangements. I’ve got no idea why, especially since floral arrangements tend to fall onto the list of “things brides wish they hadn’t spent so much money on” but man – I am loving it. I booked my florist the […]
Wedding Wednesday || The Gap
There’s a small dilemma with my wedding date/time, and until recently I hadn’t been able to figure out how to deal with it. Specifically, it’s a two hour gap. My fiance and I are both Catholic and are having a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony. The issue this presents is that the latest any Catholic church will […]
Cocktail Hour || Apple Spritzer
Did you guys see that… it was the sun! It’s almost… ::whispers:: warm outside. I mean, it hit a whopping 43 degrees yesterday in Rhode Island! Okay – so it may not be flipflop weather just yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate the spring weather a little bit with a refreshing and seasonal cocktail. […]
Wedding Wednesday || One Year To Go!
Can you believe that one year from this Friday (March 21) I will be walking down the aisle!? Well, if you can I certainly can’t. My fiance and I had been dating for so (so, soooo) long that the thought that he is actually going to be my husband still blows my mind. Although to be […]
