I haven't been in love with M.A.C.'s most recent launches, but M.A.C.'s Surf Baby collection for summer 2011 looks to be an even better rendition of last summer's "To The Beach" collection which has been a favorite of mine. I expect to pick up a few items from Surf Baby just to hold me over until M.A.C.'s Semi Precious Collection that will be launching in July.

Last Friday while most of the world was obsessing over the Royal Wedding, I was actually getting married in Aruba! We traveled with 20 of our closest family and friends to Eagle Beach, Aruba, exchanged vows, and danced the night away right on the beach. The weather was absolutely perfect and the whole thing went off without a hitch. We all came back very tan and are all already talking about our next trip to the island. I can't wait to see the images from our photographer, but until I have those to share with you, this will have to do. Thank you for hanging in there with me, as I know posts have been sparse in the weeks leading up to my wedding, but blogging should resume once I get caught up on these emails! xo, Melanie
