A Regal Affair: My new favorite dress designer

I found my wedding dress within the first three bridal salons that I visited. I thought it was too early but after I had a dream about it, I knew I had to get it. Few months later I made a casual  visit to a bridal salon that I had windowshopped at when I was a teenager. I remember looking in and admiring all the majical wedding dresses when I was just a girl. I decided to go in and look for accessories, well I got more than I bargained for. I found a really simple dress, with a low back and with a big discount. My friends urged me to try it on, and I LOVED it. I ended up buying a second dress, a flower girls dress and a veil. They gave me an amazing price as they were closing down their sherman oaks store. Part of me thinks that it was meant to be. This was the only store I had admired as a young girl, now I had taken part of the majic with me right before it closed. I'm so happy that I had two dresses. I had the luxury of wearing a wonderful traditional dress to our ceremony, and changing into a much more comfortable, light and fun dress mid reception. Eventhough I loved both of my dresses so much I can't help but fall in love with others!
This month I'm in love with Christos. I love the texture, yet it looks so soft and romantic.

A Regal Affair: A cake tasting with Nancy Kay's Confections

I had the privilege of accompanying a couple to Nancy Kay's Confections, and I have to admit that it wasn't exactly hard work. Nancy makes amazing cakes but its her style that takes her to the next level. Her cakes are simple, classic, modern and pure perfection. She also provides a variety of flavors, my favorite is the Triple Chocolate Cake. Here is just some of the examples of her creations
