wedding day accessories

i'm rarely seen without a cardigan. why would the wedding day be any different? i'm considering this lovley from anthro for the party portion of evening but i'm worried that the ruffle detail will be too much with the top of the dress.

i have a pearl bracelet already but it seems so boring. this is amazing! but is it too much?

i think this may be the perfect wedding day bracelet, but there are no reviews of it and they don't have it in my local store. i've been waiting patiently for it to go on sale but it's still at it's regular price...$198...ouch! :(

you can take the girl out of prep school but you can't take prep school out of the girl! my entire k-12 experience took place at a private, catholic school and the blame for my attraction for all things plaid and/or preppy rests solely on their shoulders. i saw this sweater on the f21 website and i knew i had to order it in all of it's crested, cable knit glory:) i have a feeling it will become a wardrobe fave. my initial plan was to pair it with a striped oxford shirt, but that didn't happen because i was running late and i didn't feel like ironing. i think that the red adds a nice pop or color against the ivory sweater. i've been wearing this jeans a lot more lately. i think i'm officially over the skinny jean trend. i love the fact that i can wear these all day and not feel like i'm suffocating.

i'm feeling guilty for over indulging last night, especially when my first fitting is monday! this afternoon i have 45 minutes scheduled with my trainer and then i think i may have to add some extra cardio:( i. hate. cardio! i have nothing exciting planned today. i'm hoping i get to bed early and get some much needed sleep! happy almost friday:)

can't wait!!

another reason to want spring to hurry up and get here!

dance, dance

i'm not sure why the search for the first dance song has become so complicated. if we had a song that was "our song" it would be so much easier! we like different kinds of music and so far we haven't been able to meet in the middle. these are our two newest contenders. my pick(and girl crush)adele. this song literally brings tears to my eyes. it's her interpretation of a dylan song, which may be the only reason he's considering it.



his pick, jamie cullum. we both like him and we saw him in concert when we first starting dating. i love his take on this song but i love the adele song more. what so you think?

hello!!!i've missed blogging! my real life has been so busy. when i get home i can't wait to jump into my pajamas. i finally invested in a nicer camera and i'm loving how great these photos turned out.

i've been dying to wear these shoes even though they're kind of ridiculous. it's kind of like walking on stilts and i prayed most of the day that i wouldn't fall off my platform and break my neck. can you imagine...death by platform, quelle horreur! despite their ridiculousness i'm kind of in love with them:)

the weeks have been hectic and drama filled but one of my best friends is in town and we had a lovely dinner that included buffalo chicken egg rolls, a bottle of sparkling rose and lots of catching up. it was exactly what the doctor ordered. happy wednesday!

snow again!!!

more snow.....gaahh!!! seriously mother nature i promise never to complain about the heat and humidity again if you could see fit to let us bid winter and these snowstorms buh-bye!!another 7-9 inches today and they don't expect it to stop snowing until tomorrow evening.

yet another snow day means i spent the day in old jeans and one of doug's sweatshirts building outfits on polyvore(which is totally like a grown up version of paperdolls!) because i'm bored i'd thought i would share my all time favorite super bowl commercial this year. is it strange the i have this bokmarked and watch at least once a day because it makes me gigle like a school girl?



have a lovely evening:)

i heart you grandma audrey

today, valentine's day, would have been my grandma audrey's 92nd birthday. we lost her two years. i was just getting to know her as an adult. she came and spent a week at our house and i got to ask her questions about her life and questions about what my mom was like as a little girl. we made peach cobblers and apple pies. she played chess and checkers with my son and sat in the back yard and watched my girls swim(something she never learned to do). she caused a little bit of a scandal when at 15 she ran off to marry my grandfather who was ten years older and the trumpet player in a band! lately with wedding on the brain i've been thinking about how much i wish she could be there because i know that she would have enjoyed herself and danced her heart out. she had a fondness for prince. you haven't lived until you've seen you 80 year old grandma bust a move to prince's version of "kiss":) happy birthday grandma! i love you!!
