Popped by the Neiman Marcus Fall Trends Preview Party and got an up close look at some fall goodies. Apparently, green is the color of the season!

Got my hair done, which was much-needed!

Met with my florist, Shellie at Community Florist, who showed me how to make my own arrangement! Can you believe I made this myself? More details on that later this week…

Of course, the highlight of the weekend was my bridal shower! I’m so thankful to all of my friends and family who came out to celebrate, it was so beautiful and my bridesmaids did a wonderful job. Can’t wait to share more photos with you!

By the way, don’t forget the Lanvin for H&M collection is out this weekend!
Why not kick the weekend off with some fashionable fun? Between this week’s VIP opening of H&M at Scottsdale Fashion Square and tonight’s fashion event at the W Scottsdale, there’s plenty of cute outfits to scout and to wear.
I was finally able to stop by Ted Baker, one of the newest additions to the Barney’s wing at Scottsdale Fashion Square and am absolutely lusting after a cream-colored sparkly number. But if you haven’t had a chance to pop into the store yet and pick out one of your own obsessions, you can catch their spring/summer 2010 collection tonight at the W Scottsdale. The British label opened its first AZ store just last month and has both stylish mens and womenswear too.
