Top 10 PINS {Wedding Style}

Where would I be without Pinterest? Somewhere lost in the wedding planning abyss...thats for sure. Its not only the best time waster, but also the only form of organization I have for all of my DIY's, color palettes, flower arrangements, and burlap inspirations... and I could probably go on and on. ANYWAYS... I'll save my love affair with Pinterest for next week.
Here are my top 10 pins for wedding inspiration:

::ONE: Heart stitched on back of tie::

This idea is so great. I might try it, but if you knew anything about my Fiance, you know that he would probably flip if his tie went missing before the wedding (maybe because he thinks I would kill him. Thats besides the point.)... or if I tampered with it. I think he would love it, but kidnapping the tie would be the challenge. ((brainstorming))

::TWO: Taco shots::

 I think these are kind of perfect. If budget is tight, may not be the best idea. But if it doesn't work for your wedding, you could always pull it off for a party!

::THREE:Headpiece::

I LoVe Everything about this headband. Looks like you could possibly make a similar one if buying one is too expense. I spy tool, feathers, sequin appliqué, and beading. You might need a sewing kit and a thimble.  

 ::FOUR:Envelope lace::

I am going to try this budget permitting. Thats all.

::FIVE:Silver lanterns::

I will admit I have a slight obsession with lanterns. I bought 15 of these for the table arrangements for the wedding. If you are doing lanterns, IKEA is the way to go. $6.99 folks. No lies.

::SIX:Mens Attire::

 Grey Suits are perfect for any season. I think they can be dressy or laid back depending on what the bride is wearing. Which means they are the perfect accessory with the perfect dress. Plus the skinny black tie is trendy and amazing if you ask me. 

::SEVEN:Wooden Hearts::

Unique alternatives for boutonnieres are starting to catch on. I personally love the Idea, and this one happens to strike my fancy. 

::EIGHT:Cinderella Shoes::

I am a pretty casual girl. I wear flats most of the time, but there is something really exciting about putting on a pair of high heels. These are true Cinderella shoes, and quite affordable by Steve Madden. Unlike the Jimmy Choos I fell in love with. Just as gorgeous too!   

::NINE:Photo-booth::

Photobooths are the bomb. The guests love them, and you get to capture all of the wonderful silly candid moments that your photographer misses because he is too busy capturing those sweet dance moves on the dance floor. Mustache props are a must. 

::TEN:Votives::

CANDLES! CANDLES! CANDLES!

Flowers are gorgeous, but candles create the most romantic lighting and ambiance. Flowers don't stand a chance next to those bad boys! Did I mention they are more affordable?! Votives... CHECK!

There is more to come of wedding goodness/madness. Stay tuned. :)

Buttons?

Day 7: Buttons

LOVE jewel tones and gold.... and this shirt. 

Not much else to say about buttons. 

Excited about tomorrows photo... SUN :)

Sushi, Wine, & Day 6

Day 6: Dinner

I had a MUCH-NEEDED dinner with my friend Megan. We discussed all things ridiculous: Work, People, Home, US. Like I said, ALL things ridiculous. Eating sushi and enjoying a glass of wine brings out the best conversation and quality time. It was nice to hang out, and NOT be in a gym where we usually see each other...while we are grunting as we continually wipe the sweat off our faces. Yes, we are those gym goers. 

Happy Monday!

Days 4 & 5

#febphotoaday

Day 4: Stranger

Photo taken outside of the movies yesterday. Z and I went to see  The Woman in Black. Kinda freaky if you ask me.

ME=the girl who "LOVES" scary movies until she sits in a dark theater and screams like a baby at the most predictable parts. I am pretty sure I was mocked by the back row, which consisted of some LOUD individuals who sneezed 12 times. It sounded like a dog barking. Moving on... 

Day 5: 10am

(( looks like Mr. Tassimo needs a cleanin! Add it to the to-do list...))

10am on a Sunday for me is filled with reflection, coffee, and fashion decisions. By no means is it a fashion show at church, But it is the one day a week that I enjoy picking out my outfit and get to relax as I get ready for the most lovely part of my week. 6 days til next sunday... the countdown begins :).

Happy Super Bowl Sunday everyone!

What makes the right hand jealous

Day 3: Hands

Can I just point out the intricate detailed engraving on this bad boy? Yep. My man has got some impeccable taste. Maybe it's a little vain, but I do still like to hold my hand up in the air and admire by blindingly beautiful ring finger. Kudos to Coach D.

P.s. please excuse my little chubby hands. Not cute. I'm aware. 

My life in photos: February

Something I stumbled upon at 3am this morning, while I was sugaring up my low blood sugar.

I saw this on Instagram and knew I wanted to be apart of it. The challenge was started on 

Fat Mum Slim Blog. The name intrigued me... and I was not let down. I fell in love with the blog, blogger, and the challenge. So this is my acceptance into #FEBPHOTOADAY. 

Since I came across this a day too late, I have to play a little catch up! 

Day 1: Your view today

This was my view today... in Target... spending too much money... again. But what a lovely view, eh?

Day 2: Words

Oh you know... just a love letter from my wonderful Fiance. I have lots of these. Actually a whole box, which happens to be over flowing. I read these tear jerking words very often to remind my self of the wonderful blessings God had handed me. One of them being that beautiful man who can right one heck of a love letter. Thats right... the 'why don't cha stand up in front of the class son, and read that award winning collection of words. That kinda talent shouldn't go unnoticed.' I hope he passes that down to our  children some day. Ahhh.... bliss. :)

Awkward & Awesome Wuuuursday

NEW DAY OF THE WEEK (incase you didn't get the memo) :  WURSDAY-- Wednesday night, almost Thursday.

Awkward:

...Hearing a ((pop)) in right Hip region and having to explain to my trainer that I have joints of a 60 year old woman. Fibrous dysplasia got the best of me. 

...Limping into the grocery store holding my lower back like I am either prego or an old lady…. either way there is not a 

cute face to go along with that crooked strut.

...In bed by 8… and disappointed when 9:00 rolls around and I am not laying in my pillowy abyss. I am 22… 22 PEOPLE! I should be galavanting around town till the wee hours of the morning. Shenanigans. 

...The nervous burper who was just showcased on American Idol.. sang "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga. It was a 'no' to say the least. 

Awesome:

... Winning a 3 day 2 night trip, from going to the bridal show two weekends ago!! Have yet to find out of its a scam.. BUT I will stay hopeful till I figure out the catch!!

...My fiance. He is 'AWESOME' by himself, but his willingness to improve our relationship daily even while it is still rainbows and butterflies…. absolutely AWESOME x infinity. 

...Ranch Dressing. Its just so darn good. ON ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. 

...Letterpress. I don't care if its the real thing, or a photoshop effect… I fall in love with a letterpresses masterpiece everytime. 

...Getting a compliment from a co-worker at work today on organizing a nightmare Die-line situation.

...That I HAVE 2 FOLLOWERS!! haha! Not very impressive but exciting? Well, heck yeah!
