Best-dressed celebrity couples

As Glamour magazine names Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart their best-dressed couple of 2013, it seems like the perfect time to give an honourable mention to some of our favourite well-groomed celebrity pairings. They may well have an army of stylists to help them shop for evening dresses and cufflinks, but these gorgeous duos all exude a natural sense of stylishness.  They’re attractive on their own, but unbeatable as a pair, all whilst maintaining a long-lasting relationship under the spotlight.
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones
A couple who just ooze old school Hollywood glamour, Michael and Catherine’s on-duty styles complement each other perfectly. Catherine’s preference towards floor-length gowns, beautifully coiffed hair and just the right amount of sparkle lend all of her red carpet looks a real sense of timeless beauty, whilst Michael always impresses in classic tuxedos, though often in a subtly unusual navy or dark green.
Helen Mirren and Taylor Hackford
Though they have a whole mantelpiece of major awards between them, this Hollywood power couple haven’t lost their sense of mischief. On the red carpet, Taylor – best known for directing An Officer and a Gentleman – sticks to dapper suits accessorised with silk ties and an elegant tie pin, and never shies away from a cheeky pose. Adventurous Helen knows how to work her assets in flattering frocks, and isn’t afraid of making bold fashion statements like the sassy pink bob she debuted at this year’s BAFTAs.
Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry
Paul and Mary may not be romantically involved, but they’re certainly one of our favourite TV couples, and complement each other like scones and jam. Paul generally goes for a smart-casual look – pastel shirts, well-cut jackets, even the occasional slim fit jumper – all the better for rolling up his sleeves and getting stuck in with some kneading. Racing ahead in the style stakes, Mary manages to wear outfits that are both on-trend and age-appropriate, usually thanks to the inclusion of a few key fashion pieces – a silk scarf, print blazer or the famous floral bomber jacket that sold out within days of her wearing it on the Bake Off.

Hudson Turns 2

By 1 Comment

Hudson has fallen in love with all things Peter Pan, Hudson was the crocodile and Holland was Tiger Lilly. We made a cupcake cake into the shape of a number 2 and just added Peter Pan figurines. The cousins loved finding buried treasure. Hudson really has turned into a lost boy these last couple of weeks in NJ. The day after Hudson turned 2 I was so sad and never wanted the day to end because I could never again say he turned two yesterday. Now he is just 2. I wish we lived in Neverland and my Hudson would never grow up. Goodbye #2under2

Me: earings:kate spade // sunglasses: prada // shirt: forever 21 // pants: vince // shoes: enzo // necklace: kate spade // purse: prada
stroller: bugaboo donkey, carseat: maxi cozi, scooter: y-bike
Hudson: shirt: burberry(old), shoes: toms

With all our families travels this summer the one thing that has saved me and my purse is my GoStak! Blender Bottle makes a stackable series of interlocking plastic jars that are great for on the go snacks, vitamins, formula, you name it. I love it because it looks clean and keeps my purse clean as well. It also doesn’t clutter my purse.

Today was so special for so many reasons. Holland got blessed in our church along with her cousin Caroline. Babba crocheted both of their dresses. The husbands have been fighting over whose is better! lol
Holland, I love you so much and am so grateful to be your mom. I have to admit, when I had you it was during the saddest time in my life. I lost my dear friend a few weeks before you were born, shortly after delivery I developed Bells Palsy as well.
As daddy blessed you today I want you to know that today was your special day! I couldn’t help but think that because of you, a tragic time in my life, was made special because of your presence. You are such a sweet daughter and everyday I am grateful I get to raise you. Many times I have felt my dear friends presence reminding me that life is precious. You and your life are so precious to me. I Love You!
