Want some boxers fit for a bride? Try these lace boxers in a variety of colors. Perfect to wear on your honeymoon or anytime you want to feel pretty.  Try these pretty ivory lace boxers with a denim waistband. Pretty and ... well I'd say practical but they are just too pretty to ever be practical. But more comfortable to wear than thongs for sure!

Another take on white lace boxers but with a navy waistband is shown above. It's slightly different but if the top one is out of stock and you just can't wait for it to come back in it's a good option. It also comes is other colors (black, gray and brown).

So stock up on these sexy boxers. The photos have hit Pinterest which usually means they're going to blow out of stock.

 

 

 

The Cons Of Online Shopping

Wedding Shower Gifts. Wedding Gifts. All items you want to have arrive on time. Unfortunately sometimes when you order them online the order does not get there on the promised date, leaving you embarassed and hunting for a last minute gift. Sometimes it is a result of a split shipment. Sometimes it is just plain late. And sometimes, even when you pay extra shipping costs to have a gift arrive it doesn't get there when you need it.

Have you ordered online and experienced a split shipment? If you spend much time shopping online you probably have. What I had not experienced before was having the split shipment cause a problem with a daughter's shower gift.

Online shopping offers you many conveniences. Unfortunately it also offers some pitfalls. Pitfalls you do not want to encounter when shopping for a shower or wedding gift.

I ran into this when I shopped for my daughter's shower gift. I ordered three gifts from One Stop Plus. I paid extra to have things shipped to arrive well in time for her shower. The customer service associate assured me that the items would ALL arrive in time for her shower.

I could have shopped from a reputable company who would honor their promises and not had a problem, or who would have told me upfront that one item would not be shipped on time. I could have purchased the item that was missing from somewhere else, but I didn't. I specifically asked the company rep if all items would arrive by the date needed and was assured they would even if they split shipped. I had no reason to think they would not get here when needed. They didn't arrive on time. Or at least one of them didn't.

So if you are shopping for a wedding or shower gift, and want to be sure it arrives in time for the event, and you don't have time to run around buying the same product at a brick and mortar store, don't trust them when they assure you that your items will arrive on time. Just shop brick and mortar from the start, then no worries.

Obviously the company felt as long as they shipped something to my house on the date promised it fulfilled their promises. I didn't receive a notice that one item would not arrive on time. It just wasn't there. Days later I got an email they were shipping it. Too late.

If you don't want to get stuck holding the bag and with a red face, buy from your local brick and mortar if it's a gift item. With the holidays coming it's something to consider before making your purchase.

Entertain Like An Ambassador

Photo and idea from Elegant Entertaining

Having a spring wedding when asparagus is in season? Serve this great asparagus dish from the book Elegant Entertaining: Seasonal Recipes from the American Ambassador's Residence in Paris. Or just want to entertain like the rich and famous? Amazon describes this book this way:

"In the heart of Paris’s exclusive Faubourg St. Honoré neighborhood, the magnificent nineteenth-century residence of the American ambassador to France is the center of Franco-American relations and the site of elegant entertaining. Nearly every day of the year, master chef Philippe Excoffier prepares dazzling meals and parties for foreign dignitaries, French friends of America, and Americans in Paris. In this beautifully illustrated volume, Excoffier shares forty of his favorite recipes, including grilled veal with sage sauce and stuffed zucchini flowers, a new twist on French toast with roasted pineapple and rum raisin ice cream, and wild strawberries and cognac in dark chocolate baskets. Excoffier also reinvents American classics such as the Fourth of July picnic and Thanksgiving dinner. Specially commissioned photography sets the recipes against the backdrop of the residence’s splendid interiors. Partial proceeds of the book will be donated to FXB, a charity dedicated to fighting childhood poverty and AIDS."

The book was written by Dorothy W. Sayers, the wife of the former American Ambassador in Paris. and Phillippe Excoffier who was the master chef to the American Ambassador in Paris for over a decade. Francis Hammond's photos accent this book showing off the elegance of Excoffier's recipes with his world famous photography.

Not only put this book on your registry as the perfect gift for a shower or wedding but consider reading it ahead of time to get some great ideas for the menu for your wedding. Master chef, Philippe Excoffier will take you from elegant dining rooms to classic yet still elegant picnics. You just have to have a copy of this great book!
