Don’t feel bad if you think you are spending too much on your wedding.. it could be worse. Dubai just announced the most expensive purse in the world! Studded with 4,517 diamonds, Dubai will welcome the world’s most expensive purse priced at $3.8 million on Thursday in its five-star hotel, the Dubai Mall.??The 1001 Nights Diamond Purse which takes the shape of a heart is encrusted with 105 yellow, 56 pink and 4.356 colorless diamonds – all weighing a whopping 381.92 carats. Not really my style.. but a fun fact!

With Valentines Day right around the corner I wanted to share this adorable Valentines Day Dessert Buffet Designed by Amy Atlas last year and featured on the Hostess with the Mostess Blog! I loved it and I think it is perfect for a Valetines Day Wedding, a birthday party, or just a fun Valentines Day Celebration!!
Happy Monday!
