With that being said, we have a ton of friends Grad Parties to attend. Our Seniors graduate tomorrow night. (Yeah!) So, over the next month the weekends are consumed with FUN events and parties. I found these adorable Grad Party Ideas and I thought they were too FUN I wanted to share them with you. The first one is having your guests sign Jenga pieces.

Spring Perfumes

KATE SPADE: Walking on Air VIKTOR & ROLF: Flowerbomb PRADA: Candy MARC JACOBS: Daisy Dream Now that the weather is getting a bit closer, it's time to start thinking about your Spring/Summer scent. I'm not much for changing my perfume fragrance regularly. I usually stick with a scent that I like for awhile. However, changing up your scent once or twice a year is do able and also a MUST. Today, I'm wearing Flowerbomb. It's sweet with a little hint of Vanilla. Kate Spade's 'walk on air' is new and very popular. My recommendation is go to the store with NO perfume on that day and spray one of these yummy fragrances- wear … [Read more...]
