A little love note.
Yesterday was exactly two months until our wedding (August 29th). I can't believe that in eight short weeks, Alex will be my husband. When I got home from my week-long trip yesterday afternoon, Alex had left me a bunch of yellow flowers, along with cute notes on the bed, coffee table and hung from deer antlers. It made me swoon.Audrey Hepburn once said, "If I get married, I want to be very married."
Alex, I can't wait to very-marry you.

Korea's Boys Over Flower Fashion Styles
Boys Over Flower, Korea's version of Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango has captured the hearts of many Filipinos. I must say that I am one of the viewers who regularly watched their Filipino-dubbed episode everyday. Aside from enjoying the storyline, I also love the fashion styles of the characters in the said tv series. They are so fashion forward and from what I have heard last Saturday, the wardrobe budget spent for the show reached Php 5 Million. According to a local news, the suits and dresses of the characters are designer's clothes and custom-made for each of them to achieve their perfect preppy look.
Here's some of the still images from Boys Over Flowers:

Twilight series fans are going crazy over the upcoming "Twilight" Barbie dolls. In this collection, Barbie and Ken will be customized to resemble Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.

On the other hand, the Edward Cullen Collector’s Barbie will have a pale skin and striking eyes.

Great Gatsby Goodbye Party
Haley and Leslie live in Minnesota, in a big beautiful house built in the 1880s. Sadly, their landlord has decided to sell it.
"Since Saint Paul is the birthplace of F. Scott Fitzgerald (and it's rumored that he attended soirees at our house back in the day), we decided to throw a Great Gatsby-themed goodbye party," says Leslie. "It would be our last shindig."
Spaghetti Western String Co, a string quartet from Minneapolis, performed Radiohead's "Exit Music," with lyrics sung in Italian. "It gave us goose bumps," says Leslie.
Doesn't everyone look amazing? What a wonderful way to say goodbye to a house and celebrate the end of an era. (F. Scott Fitzgerald would have been proud.) Thank you so much for sharing, Leslie!(Photos by Cameron Wittig)
