I am GAGA over Baked and Wired

Maggie Mayd Art is now on display at Baked and Wired!
I love this bakery, nestled in Georgetown by the C&O canal and smelling of quality java and treats right from the oven. Since my move to D.C. in February, I have visited this cupcake hub more then any other D.C. site. I am ecstatic, please go and try the best cupcakes in Georgetown- seriously- not even going to mention the competition.

I feel so Pretty and Giddy


I love pretty things, who doesn't. My first prom, my mother and I dropped a whopping $450 on a ball gown with a full skirt with tutu lace underneath and a hand beaded corset on top- a fortune in 1999 in my small, East Tennessee town. We joked we would dye it white for the big day, but knew this was only a joke to appease daddy. So after the initial bride search- it was no wonder that I was drawn to the very heavy, tulled-out, bedazzled, floralized, large bridal gowns. So in honor of unordained royalty everywhere, here are a few things that remind us we all have the means to be a modern princess.

Sherri Hill
I wish I knew these dresses existed when I was 16, however there is no reason not to dress like a garden birthday cake when cash allows.

















Blair Waldorf
My absolute favorite television character. Her and Scarlett O'Hara channel similar energy, and I admire their style and spirit (even if they are both brunette.) She can really wear a headband and has a sharp tongue, here are some of her quotes to use in conversation.
  • "If you cut revenge out of the Bible, there's not even enough pages to make a pamphlet."
  • "I'm not a stop along the way. I'm a destination."
  • "The most important parties you have to attend are the ones that you are not invited to."
  • "Only a masochist could ever love such a narcissist."
  • Dorota: "Ms. Blair, you are sleeping with your chocolates! Blair: "No, Dorota, we are only friends."




Tarina Tarantina

Her story, her make-up, her hair. Support Tarina products. From her new makeup line at Sephora I purchased Eye Dream Hyper shadow in Rivit. The shadow is quality but the packaging is key. The 26 hand placed gemmed compact comes in a pink lace pouch. Every time I see it- I inwardly scream- "I love being a girl!"

















Ban.do
These headpieces are so flamboyant and feminine. I bet Blair Waldorf and Scarlett O'Hara shop here. Sparkly, ribbons, colorful- adorn your head with some kind of crown!
