1,095 Days...

Today is 1,095 days since we were married in front of 250 of our nearest and dearest in Mexico (3 years if you don't feel like thinking). The fact that we got to spend a week on vacation with everyone we know and love was incredible as is - Add in all the fun-filled celebratory events leading up to our wedding and it was even better - then top it off with our dream wedding day and it truly was a modern jet-set fairytale. It's become a tradition for us to look at our photos and watch our video on our anniversary, so join with us and check out this slideshow by our amazing photographers David Jay and Kevin Swan:

Look For Less - Alexander Wang

So much of my days are spent looking at different clothes, accessories and now baby items in order to handpick what customers will want. Today I stumbled upon some handbags that at this time I don't plan on carrying at NessaLee, but I know some readers will like because they are both excellent looks for less of very well-known celebrity-worn bags by Alexander Wang. Alexander Wang Rocco Duffel $875

Pictures To Last A Thousand Years

April is already here and that means that our 3rd wedding anniversary is quickly approaching. When we got married 3 years ago, we opted not to do engagement pics. Our reasons were that we were making not 1, but 2 video love stories to be shown at our wedding in Mexico and also that our wedding photographer was in California and we were in New Jersey. I'm an amazing Monday morning quarterback - no seriously, I'm REALLY good at it. So, after the fact I was of course bummed. On our first anniversary we were actually in LA and my husband surprised me with anniversary photos to make up for e-pics (such a cute idea!). David Jay was unavailable though, so after tremendous amounts of super-adorable research behind my back, Jordan chose another stellar photographer - Christine Farrah. Really, DJ had my heart...but then I met Christine...oh boy it's tough. They are 2 of the most talented photographers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. If you can hire either of them, you're wedding will be that much better! We loved the anniversary pics so much, that we absolutely had to do it again for our 2nd. Now it's time for our 3rd and it's become a tradition. Is it safe to call something a tradition after only 2 years? Either way, we're doing it again and we need to come up with a cute theme/concept. In the meantime, check out some from the past years.

No Buy Buy For A Baby Of Mine

Yesterday during an afternoon in NYC, I popped into Buy Buy Baby for some market research. While walking through the strollers, which by the way are a MESS, the salesperson said to me "Congratulations!" It took a moment for it to register. Did she know I was opening a baby store and was giving me a thumbs-up on my latest venture? Perhaps she thought I was someone else? Now what probably clicked in your brain when you started reading this, didn't quite settle in as fast for me, but yes BINGO - She thought I was having a baby. Now I get that I was in a baby store, but is that just safe to assume? Wasn't it possible I already had kids and was upgrading my stroller, or perhaps buying a gift for a friend or family member? A little thrown off my game, I just smiled and said, "Oh, I'm not pregnant." To which she replied, "It's a girl! That's fantastic." Um OK...And with that I exited the store and did what any girl would do - found the closest mirror to obsess.
