A toast. A celebration. To all of you.

Today this Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie brand marks the completion of year two. And the honor and the unimaginary gratitude of moving into year three.

And because of you. Your support. Your encouragement. Your trusting. Your confidence. All with kindness and a goodness that means more than you could ever dream. You have touched this brand and it is with deep, deep grace that we thank you. Each of you.

In appreciation. So very much.

Resort Wear

Plans for a Palm Springs weekend are well underway. Desert, heat, cycads and succulents, a cooling cocktail as well as all the fantastic fun-in-the-sun trappings. Including a Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie tunic for a pretty cover-up poolside.

And perhaps a little cami dress for after-hours lounging when the doors are closed.

Palm Springs and Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie, a perfect match... no?

Wedding Season

With the approach of Spring comes a favorite time of year. Wedding season. The joy of love and couples uniting brings so much lovely fun and sweet happiness.

Here, a gorgeous (so incredibly stunning!) real-life bride in Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie (Darling Jardin Bleu robe) as photographed by Max Wanger, kicks of all the pretty bliss.

And imagining what a few of the other wedding details may be...

To wedding season... and all the love.

Dream Business { II }

{ via }

Last week, the start of a new little series. About dreams. About women. About business. In one or two words, about life and the love of it all.

Kellie Collis, Founder of the very pretty Australian home and interiors boutique, Ada and Darcy and the popular blog of the same name, is our second feature. Kellie is stylishly adept at color, pattern and florals. She is also a Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie retailer and a favorite friend in the gorgeous land "down under."

In Life, in Business... in or or two words by Kellie Collis:

1. What drives you? Personal expectations.

2. What do you love? Color.

3. What do you not love? Failure.

4. What do you dream? Vivid color.

5. What do you know? My goals.

6. What do you prize? Success.

7. What fulfills you? Business milestones.

8. Where do you go now? Grow.

9. Where have you been? Insecurities.

10. One word? Passion.

And a few beautiful images representing Kellie.

Model Love

Early this week... our Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie photo shoot. Our little team gathered and the whirlwind began. New robes, new tunics, new tanks... and a few little surprises along the way! So much anticipation to reveal them!

In the meantime, a peek at the gorgeous Brooke Bonelli and Nicole Noonan. Our sweet and so incredibly beautiful models. Some stunning images from their past work.

With so many thanks to photographer, Marisa Holmes, make-up artist and stylist, Jennnifer Bueno and Elysium Productions who filmed it all. And to Brooke and Nicole!

With much to come soon...

Cavalia White

{ via }

A trip to Cavalia last week brings extraordinary inspiration. Spectacular, a fairy-tale of beauty of sound, and the bond between humans and horses... magical and truly unprecendented.

{ via }

And the inspiration... white. The beauty of its simplicity... and its complexity. Horses so beautiful. White and incredibly stunning. A color that isn't, but is.

{ via }

And so it gives this Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie brand pause. For something white. A pattern in whites. Or perhaps a repeat. White on white, white with white, white underneath white. And with a nod to our little wedding business and a conversation, a request, for something white. Beauty for the bride to get ready in.

Much prettiness to think about.

In Life, in Business... in or or two words by Melissa Middleton:

1. What drives you? Life.

2. What do you love? Being alive.

3. What do you not love? Negativity.

4. What do you dream? Life's pleasures.

5. What do you know? The truth.

Lounge In

Rained in. For a photo shoot. Schedules re-arranged. Patience loved. Now Tuesday. A new day.

And busy, busy. Prepping, propping, styling. A warm bath awaits.

And lounge, lounge, lounge. In something comfy. Something pretty. Until it happily starts again tomorrow.

The Quote

There is a saying about this little brand. Made-up. Thoughtful. A reflection of the place it came. Spoken then and with so much heart...

"It lived in my heart for some time time before pouring out and over. Like a journey of sorts. A mutation of lessons learned, life changes, heartbreak and inspiration. Like a dream I pieced together in order to form my path. My truth.

And throughout the idea of how I wanted to feel. The carefree-ness of breezy happiness, of cozy comfort and with an ease of living beautifully."

AWAKE TO DREAM.

Bridesmaid Robes

{ shop for bridesmaid robes at www.PlumPrettySugar.com, photography by Lane Dittoe }

The way the groom’s voice cracks when he reads his vows, the deep breath of a bride just before taking that first step down the aisle... weddings are truly one of life's most emotional moments.

And our little way, we love so much being part of those moments. A sweet honeymoon tunic for the bride, or perhaps whisper-soft robes for the bridesmaids, our delight at all is overwhelming.

And so we celebrate weddings here. In this wedding. Richard and Nicole's Santa Monica wedding. A peek at all the pretty and the emotion (including our Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie robes).

Styled exquisitely by our favorite wedding planner extraordinaire, Brooke Keegan and photographed by the ever-talented Lane Dittoe.

We hope you love these moments as much as we do. This little bit of gorgeousness was named one of Style Me Pretty 's twenty of the most style savvy weddings of 2010. It was seen on Style Me Pretty, Wedding Chicks and via blogs the globe over.

Celebrating the moments.
