Jacob's 1st Birthday Party !

My soon to be sister in law hosted the most amazing first birthday party, cat in the hat theme. Some of these things I would have never been able to think of even with my Pinterest addiction. It was such an amazing day and party, as you can see by the photos. 

There is going to be a Gelato Wedding !

I am so excited that one of my best friends recently got engaged. Congratulations to the happy couple, love you two. And I am beyond honored to be a part of their wedding. Enjoy !

The date is set !

On New Year's Eve 2011/2012, my boyfriend at the time planned an amazing night to take a trip down memory lane in order to propose to me. He did an amazing job and we had so much fun. After waiting a year and 3 months (... who's counting lol) we finally set our date. We chose October 10th 2014 since i love fall foliage in New York, and it's not that cold yet. We are very excited and are looking forward to planning everything, thank goodness time is on our side. We set up a wedding website so friends and family can keep track of our progress and have a few hash tags going. We live in a social media generation why not take advantage of it.

Honda Holiday Party 2012

My Fiancé works at a Honda dealership and last night was their holiday party. It's great seeing everyone all together, all dressed up. The party was held at Powelton Club, in Newburgh NY. Just wanted to share a few photos.

I will always remember M. George Habeeb...

{ My Grandfather George & Grandmother Virgenie on their wedding day May 25th}

The lack of updating is due to the fact that I was traveling back and forth from New York to New Jersey to visit my sick grandfather. Unfortunately his health took a turn for the worst on Thanksgiving, he was admitted to Hackensack Medical. After 12 days of fighting, he peacefully passed on December 4th. He had the most amazing life anyone could ask for, he was an amazing son, a loving and adoring husband to my grandmother, a wonderful father to my mother and uncle, and the absolute best grandfather that anyone could ask for. He was truly my best friend and to say that I heart broken and devastated is a complete understatement. He was the core of my world and my family. I was lucky enough to have him in my life for 28 years, I just wish I had 28 more. My grandmother passed away 6 years ago and ever since then I would go down to visit him at least once a week to have our famous lunch dates. He lived in a senior community which is like a college campus its amazing and they knew him as the mayor. If you needed something done you went to George. Hackensack Medical and their Critical Care Unit were fantastic, they took amazing care of him. He had a team of doctors and nurses that would watch over him and they were the best of the best. when we would leave at night I didn't have to go home and worry that they were not going to take care of him. They treated and cared for  him like he was their own.  You can't find a better staff in the area, their hearts are in the right place. I cant thank them enough.

We have asked that friends donate to Hackensack Medical University Hospital CCU Heart department, where he had spent his final days. They were so amazing we wanted to make sure we gave back to them so that they are able to do the same for other families. To make a donation in M.George Habeeb's name please send it to  Critical Care fund- Dr. Berkowitz's Heart Failure Program.

Lake George, NY

After weeks of thinking about a small mini vacation to go on on without using all of my vacation time at work, my fiancé and I decided on Lake George, NY. I remember growing up, my grandparents would take me every summer, and at that age the 3 hour drive seemed like 6. I loved being in such a small town, staying in a hotel with an indoor pool, and morning visits to the pancake house for the best breakfast.  When you think Lake George you think the Minne Ha Ha. Lake George Steamboat Company has been a staple there for as long as I can remember, you cannot visit and not take a ride on one of the 3 famous steamboats. One of my best breakfast places ever is The Silo Restaurant and Country Store. Anything you can think of they have, I chose the Belgium waffles with maple syrup. We had the most amazing waitress that made us feel like family. She asked us if we knew where we were eating dinner tonight, being that she was a local we asked for her recommendation, she said Georges the best steak house in the area.  We took her up on her offer and went to the early bird special of prime rib and it was out of this world, it is a must visit. After dinner we wanted ice cream and I remember seeing a neon sign for ice cream with a rooster on top, you really could not miss it. Martha's Dandee Creme, had an amazing list of flavors, it has also been a Lake George landmark for more then 5o years! It was an amazing trip that I can not wait to do again!

I LOVE JASON WU! His styles are to die for, only if I had an increased credit limit lol. I love all the colors he chose for his line. I am kind of obsessed with black clothing, there is just something so chic about it and his designs for this spring13 RTW are amazing in my opinion.He has such clean lines and such detail. Below are our top pics.

Nothing like time travel, and that exactly what Lisa Perry's Spring 13 ready-to -wear accomplishes for me. I feel like I have been thrown back to the day's of twiggy, with her mod dresses. I wouldn't say they scream the 60's, but they have that same idea with a modern twist. Staying on trend with the color blocking.
