okay, poodles...the time has come.  my wedding is less than two weeks away(!!!), which means less WHORANGE and more wedding preparation for me.

posting may be light, but my love for you runs deep.  thank you all so much for your kind emails, comments, advice, and letters.  you've filled me with endless amounts of heartfelt whorange and inspiration.  i hope to do you all proud as i strut my 200 pound, jewel-encrusted ballgown down the aisle in ten days.

stay pretty and keep your hair just as marvelous as it looks today.  i'll be back!

xoxo,
tula

artist delaney jane larson is the queen bee behind the craveable and curious "plain jane."  inhabiting the magnificent world of jane is a collection of playing card royalty, peculiar creatures, and charming beasts.

so, deal yourself a winning hand and pursue her gorgeous gallery.  and don't forget to read the titles, because they are super swell.  for example...

these fantastic frames by second line are crafted from wood salvaged from homes destroyed during hurricane katrina.  second line is dedicated to preserving the beloved memory of old new orleans while helping to rebuild the big easy towards a better tomorrow.

at least a 20% portion of each sale goes to benefit the non-profit relief organization the phoenix of new orleans, which assists in the rehabilitation of affected neighborhoods.

good products for a good cause.  what's not to whorange?

due to wedding day countdown (three weeks away...eek!), this year i wasn't able to compile my fabulous mother's day gift guide for all of the fabulous mothers out there.  also, my mom was very adamant about not buying her a gift, and instead, taking her out for dim sum breakfast, so i wasn't doing very much virtual shopping.

therefore, it's with a belly full of steamed chicken bao and shrimp har gau that i wish everyone a happy mother's day!  without you, moms, we'd be nowhere.

these boots were made for whoranging, and that's just what they'll do.
