I wanted to include a couple shots I took for my friend and owner, Helen Kessler, of Pure English Bridal. To say Helen's taste is above average is an understatement. I want to take her to shop for my wardrobe. Her dresses are simply lovely and classic. I would recommend to all that are in the market for a wedding gown or bridesmaids' dresses visit her new store in the Promenade shopping center off of Shore Drive. It was cool to check everything out. It reminded me so much of the many vendor showrooms I frequented as a clothing buyer in NY. It was nice to not have to negotiate gross margin or markdowns with the owner :)

You can shop for your gown and have sushi in the same shopping center. Is there anything better than that :). I enjoyed our lunch together, and it was great to spend some time with the wonderful Karen Tilley. We gotta get some snaps of that little one of yours. She is growing up so fast.

Here is my first one of the season. Thank you very much for your help Kelly. I look forward to more together this summer.
