Let them eat CAKE!

The boy is most excited for one event - and one event only - of the entire wedding process. Cake. Tasting.

I'm not quite sure what I want our cake to taste like- preferably something light in the hot July heat- but I sure as heck know what I want it to look like! No fondant here. I want gorgeous layers of buttercream, flowers, and a romantic vintage vibe. Here are a few of my favorites that I have gathered on Pinterest.

Cozy home

We had a guest over this weekend and I realized while cleaning- our house still needs to be more of a home. We have the necessities- couch, tables, chairs.... but not enough cozy. Not enough character. I partially blame this on Nicole of LovelyGirls - who has the most gorgeous style and made me want to redecorate immediately after our meeting last week. But I digress. This week has me longing for those extra touches... bowls instead of stacks of magazines. More candles, less clutter!

Stylemint

Ok, so I'm a little late on the Stylemint bandwagon, but I finally bit on a 30% off deal over Cyber Monday and couldn't resist!

I signed up a few months ago, but couldn't fully justify $29.99 for a t shirt- even if it was designed by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. On one hand, it's a great opportunity to get a "designer look", but some of the shirts looked like something I could find at Target. With the Cyber Monday deal, I came across the super popular Lincoln shirt, and it's draped dolman sleeves and versatile gray hue pulled me in.

Based on the sizing, I went with a 2, and I should have gone up to a 3 to get some more length. That being said, the 2 fits great through the body and is one of the softest t's I could ask for. To keep the fit, this shirt is going in my "hand wash only" rotation, which may be a turn off for some.

No self photos today, but I'll try to get one up as soon as my closet doesn't look like Operation Christmas is using it as headquarters!


*full disclosure: if you sign up through my Stylemint link, I get a free credit (aka shirt!). You don't have to sign up through me, but it would be really nice of you if you decide to :)

I take it back...

I take back my professed love for red glitter that I threw out there on Friday. Now- I'm all about the copper...

The perfect way to display Christmas Cards

I recently stumbled across these gorgeous glittery clothespins on Style Me Pretty and pinned them for wedding inspiration- but how perfect would they be strung across the mantle holding up Christmas cards?! I think this is a DIY even I could manage.

Obsessed

Is there anything more perfect than these flowers? It makes me happy even though it's 30 some degrees in October!

welcome, fall.

First day back...

Hi there :) After 2 months of beautiful summer, I'm back. Mostly, because I wasn't on the computer as much.  Partly because I've been planning the wedding that I'll be dreaming about all year!

It's the first day back in so many ways- and this pretty picture stopped me in my tracks this morning. Enjoy*
