Yesterday, I went prom shopping with one of my best friends and she bought a gorgeous silver gown. It has beading and ruching in the waist that pulls off to one side, is strapless, and has a little-over-the knee-high slit. She looks great in it and I bet her boyfriend's eyes will just about bug out of his head when he sees her. I am not going to prom but I am going to be helping a lot of my friends find their dresses and I'm very excited about that. If any of you readers are going to prom, I hope you have a great time, but remember, it's just a dance. Don't build it up into something so fantastical that you'll be disappointed.
Some of you may have seen the headline stating that Kate Middleton will not throw her bouquet to the single ladies at her wedding, as is tradition. I just finished reading the article about it, which you may read here: Kate Middleton Not Throwing Wedding Bouquet? . The reason she won't be throwing them is because she will instead be placing them on the tomb of the unknown soldier after the wedding and before the reception, a tradition started by Queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (Queen Mother).
As I said I would, I'm going to post a video blog of a recipe that you guys vote on. Below are three appetizers/ side dishes that I have picked out with their ingredients so you may make a more informed decision. At the bottom of the recipes is the poll. Simply check off which recipe you would like to see me make and I'll hopefully be posting that within the month.

Wedding Item of the Day:
This shoe is so cute. It's simple enough that it won't detract from the wedding dress and cute enough that it makes it original. And of course, what's not to like about a beautiful, buoyant, bow?
French word of the day: Recette which is French for recipe.
Au Revoir!
