Grand Cayman


Nate and I were so lucky! We got to go to Grand Cayman for the huns! It was hurricane season in the Caribbean, but we didn't see a single drop of rain! I recommend this place to anyone who loves crystal clear water and lots of really fabulous food... including the BEST onion rings from Margaritaville.

I loved all the random tourists. We met quite a few friends down there :) Like this wild family from Philadelphia. They really suited up to enjoy the ocean, rash guards and everything... they would just sit in the water for hours, none of them talking to each other, just sort of letting the nonexistent waves push them around, with cocktails in hand.

OUR First Home...

Sunday night, after our incredibly long drive to LA, Nate carried me into our first apartment...



I know you're wondering... how did we score a star-shaped pool??
Some guys have all the luck...

Crazy Little Thing Called Love...

I wish I could relive my wedding day over and over again. It was the most amazing and perfect day of my life. I can honestly say I would not change a single thing about that night.


Here are some pictures from that day and the events leading up to it that Emilee had... My photographer was Brody Dezember. He did a great job handling this wild bunch! The pictures are not posted on his site quite yet...

I LOVED the cakes!! Not only were they the most adorable cakes ever... exactly what I envisioned, but they tasted like heaven! Cakes De Fleur made these scrumptious art pieces!


The coral color dresses looked amazing on every single girl!

Danny and Chet outside of the temple...

Below is the carnival! I wish I had a picture of Nate's cute family too!

The wedding dinner was gorgeous! We enjoyed a perfect Salt Lake night at Tuscany! Nate and my dad sported the SAME Faconnable suit :) My two favorite guys!! And the J Crew Matilda dress worked great... after ALL the Bergdorf, Barneys, Saks and Nordstrom disasters!!


All the Cannon girls: Jenny, Mom (who looks like a sister!) Emilee, Ellie and Sarajane!My mom and Aunt Caren... of course clinging to the See's chocolates. Nate's mom has ribbon made with our names and date! SO cute! And she served our favorite chocolates: Chocolate Buttercream and Vanilla Buttercream... yummy!
We were so lucky that Jon's girlfriend, Emily made her way out from DC...
The Lockes... Nate, Gorgeous Logan, Zach, Trisha, Tyson and Lyndsey
The Love Shower... my mom with my Aunt Julie. We had FABULOUS BBQ and the tables were drenched in thick cow hides! It was a perfect night :)

Bobby, Chet and Timmy... bonding at the Love Shower

Nate and I enjoyed this gift that was supposedly from my parents... man thong, candy bra, wild dice... and then some... Thanks Chet, Ellie and Emilee!


This is just a glimpse of the perfect week. More pictures to come!

The Bride Wore Ricci

"The Bride Wore Ricci"
Author: William Norwich
In the beautiful port city of Cartagena, with helicopters buzzing overhead and nine designers for as many bridesmaids, Lauren Davis wore mini, maxi and everything in between for her spectacular wedding."

I just wanted to post some pictures of a fabulous wedding that was featured in Vogue in March. This is the wedding for Lauren Davis (Contributing Fashion Editor for Vogue and Socialite) and he billionaire husband, Andres Santo Domingo. Their wedding took place in Cartegna, Columbia (Yikes!!) Anyway, the photos really are phenomenal and I had to share it!


I love the quote above: "I don't know what anyone could do to top Lauren and Andres's wedding... except get married on the moon."

Below are the gorgeous bridesmaids, featured in nine different designer's lush pastels that match the colors of the church.

See the pretty blonde on the right?? That's Tinsley Mortimer! You likely recognize her from candid shots from the Gossip Girl set in the Hamptons...

Hot Pink and Orange

I have been swooning over the Dior dress below for a week now, ever since the Fashion show! Chanel Iman can rock just about anything... but just about anyone would look amazing in this frock!!

Including Eva Mendes!! Who beat us to the chase :(
She's gorgeous! She could wear a potato sack and still look hot... not to forget cute Liv! Who is actually wearing another Dior dress that my sister Jenny tried on in Paris... too bad all she walked away with a light up Eiffle Tower!

I found the following dress on Shop Jake! It's a healthy alternative to the fabulous Galliano design!

There's No Place Like Home


I landed in SLC yesterday and was thrilled to walk into my parent's perfect house. It smelled good and everything looked fabulous. Every time I go home, the beds look more tantalizing, the food smells better, the decorations are sparkling more and I feel like I never want to leave. I am so lucky to come back to such a wonderful home! My home holds so many important memories to me. I am sure anyone who knows me, realizes that my family is the most important thing and we have created so many great memories. So, it is particularly wonderful that for the first time in several years, my whole family will be around when Sam gets home from his mission this month. I couldn't be more excited.

The picture above is Sam's room as of today. Currently, my mom is having the daisy wallpaper from 1970 stripped from the closet, which is being repainted and redone. What a wonderful mom! A darling missionary only deserves the BEST!

Confessions of a Shopaholic


Do you know what this picture represents?


This picture represents the greatest fictional heroin of all time, Rebecca Bloomwood! She is the ultimate shopaholic and the girl every girl wants to be!!  Well... most of us!  

I love Becky, because she makes me laugh out loud! And I can absolutely relate to her!  As can most girls... and her love interest, Luke Brandon is perfection!  Sophie Kinsella's fabulous books will make you laugh, stay up late and read and actually hope and possibly one day get endless shopping sprees (for you and baby), traveling exotic places (and furnishing your home with foreign treasures from these places) and fabulous, luxurious surprises and excitement everyday for the rest of your life!

I just saw that this movie will be released February 13th, 2009!  And unless Nate surprises me with tickets to London for the premier (I'm assuming it will take place in Becky and Luke's hometown) I will be throwing the ultimate Confessions of a Shopaholic premier PARTY!  And if you live in Cali, ali, ali... you are invited!  This won't be a jeans and t-shirt sort of gig... Fashionistas... start your search!

Three cheers for Isla Fisher for landing the best dang role a gal can get!
