Worlds Best Rooftop Bars

There is something so glamorous about a roof top terrace. 


Feeling as though you're sitting on  top of the world & under the stars, enjoying the breeze & a refreshing cocktail in hand. Here is a list of some the worlds hottest rooftop bars...



 1. Vue Bar at Hyatt on The Bund, Shanghai

The Vue Bar is a rooftop lounge with spectacular views of the Bund and Pudong. Located on the 32nd and 33rd floors of the hotel's West Tower, Vue Bar features stunning views in a relaxed setting, with day beds, comfortable seating arrangements and a whirlpool on the terrace.

It's officially Autumn...

At least in my house it is ;)


I love the smell (and look) of a burning candle. To me, it makes a house so much more inviting. Bath & Body Works Autumn candle is what I'm currently burning, & it's nothing short of amazing. One 3-wick candle envelopes 1 whole floor of our house. If I'm home, expect the candles to be on.

I live for the transition of one season ending, and another starting. I get giddy, little school girl, excited. Ask my husband. He thinks I'm crazy. 

Marshmallow Fireside smells like winter & I can't wait to start burning it. Sadly they don't sell an oil for the Marshmallow Fireside.

Creamy Pumpkin will be burning for the month of November.


Do you have a favorite scent?

Wedding Central

Hello Neglected (but not forgotten) Blog!

This year has been capital C razy. 

I am officially bi-coastal & needless to say, I'm thoroughly enjoying every day I have home. After all-- home is where my heart is :)

I'm currently planning my sisters wedding, that is officially 14 DAYS away! Did I mention that she decided she wanted to announce & plan it all in a total of 28 days?? I didn't think so ;) 

Minor details. . . . .minor details.


I am happily her Maid of Honor. Decorator. Designer. Sanity keeper. Consultant. And hair & makeup artist. Phew!

We live exactly 115 miles from each other & every detail has happened over text, phone calls, & emails. At this point, I've never appreciated technology more. I don't know how life would happen without it!

I have approximately 100 lbs. of candles, vases, tissue paper, beads & crystals sitting here waiting to be taken down for setup, and they're starting to burn a hole in my proverbial 'decorating pocket'!

I love you!

I couldn't be happier, or more honored, that you've trusted me with making your dream day come to life!
