Nie Nie

The amazing Stephanie Aurora Clark Nielson celebates her 28th birthday with a summer bash full of balloons and friends.

I've been following her blog since her heady days as a creative, crafty mother-of-4 who blissfully described her everyday adventures. And then the dreadful silence on her blog as the news broke that she and her family had been in a near-fatal plane crash ....

Stephanie (or Nie Nie, as she is known as in her blog) and everyone else survived. So did her undaunting optimism and her faith in God. Painstakingly blogging while in recovery, she described her pains and physiotherapy with humour and humility, and a 5-star husband steering her on, all the way. Now she's well on the road to healing, and celebrates another milestone.

Truly an inspiration!

With the H1N1 virus spreading, you can never do enough to boost your immune system.

Just like Dear Golden, I am obsessed with belts.

I'm loving this chic, french inspired look - it has all of my favorite elements - vintage belt, high waisted skirt, striped shirt, yellow neckace. Perfect!
