a nice surprise in the mail :)

I want to thank The Moment staff for sending me a cool little tote that was from a press kit for Milan Design Week. This #4 tote was designed to promote Established & Sons, a British-based design and manufacturing firm known best for their inventive furniture.

Thanks again, I love it! :)

ashlee's gifts to her bridesmaids

I didn't really give a hoot about Ashlee Simpson's wedding to Pete Wentz, BUT, I always like to hear about what kind of party favors/gift bags are given away at these functions. Apparently, she was very generous to her bridesmaids, giving them a gift bag worth $650. Among the pieces in the gift bag was an "Alice in Wonderland" tote bag, t-shirt, and a Dillon Rogers 14kt gold charm necklace. On each charm was the initial of the bridesmaid, a wishbone, and Ashlee's favorite number 3.


I have to say, I like how she planned the bridesmaid's gifts. Very thoughtful in terms of the necklace, but I love the "Alice in Wonderland" theme even more.

blinking heart

As a surprise, my friend the bride bestowed each of her bridesmaids with a unique gift from Swarovski. I received this lovely "Blink" heart pendant that I instantly loved and have been wearing for the past three days.


I must confess, this isn't something I would have chosen for myself, but I love the thought she put into choosing a piece that is unique to each girl. That little bead above the pendant can slide up and down to create a different look to the necklace (choker-style or lariat-style). I definitely love the gift!
