This was such a neat wedding to be a part of. Laura and Matthew’s Grand Rapids wedding was so lovely. Since Laura and her family are extremely musically talented, the wedding ceremony was focused on music and that made it so beautiful. The reception was fun and relaxed and a wedding is never complete without an after party.

September is finally here and that means that fall is here as well. With fall comes my favorite event: Fall Fashion Week. For the past 2 years I have been blessed with the opportunity to go to New York City for Mercedes-Benz Fall Fashion Week. This opportunity has given me the chance to learn how to put on fashion shows, work backstage with numerous crews, see gorgeous clothes and see famous fashion shows.
September also means that I get to be in the big city for Fashion’s Night Out. This iconic event is where everyone from you and I, to models, designers, stars, and fashionistas, come together on September 6, and flood stores in cities all across the country and around the world. FNO was founded four years ago in New York City by Vogue and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The incentive behind creating this global celebration of fashion was to help boost the economy and consumer confidence. Cities across the globe participate to put on fabulous in store events and promotions. Last year’s bash featured events in eighteen countries and more than 4,500 events here in the States.
For those of you who will be in Grand Rapids, make sure to check out all the event information in order to have a stylish night out.

It was a fun May day in Grand Rapids for a lovely wedding. Being a part of this wedding was such a joy. I really enjoyed getting to know Mittange’s family and friends and it’s always fun running into old friends who are guests. While I only have a few pictures, I hope you enjoy them.

I have finished my last class of cake decorating and I have a certificate to prove it. My last class was more difficult. We learned how to make a different type of rose as well as write words. Needless to say, my roses were not perfect the first few time. According to our instructor, it will take practice to perfect this particular rose. Then, our final project was to decorate our cake that we brought in (yes, another cake). My final cake does not look extremely complicated, but given the insane heat we have been having in Grand Rapids, there were times I thought the whole thing would melt. I am happy to say that I have successfully complete my first cake decorating class in one piece.
