I heart pretty things

Today, that means this scarf, which I saw on another blog and promptly added to my Amazon wish list. I am so impressionable! ;)

Pretty :)

I can't stop being obsessed with this. Lovely!

What I'm Loving Today...

Or, more precisely, what I've been loving for quite awhile now. I can't say I'm much of a Western girl myself (although I sure seem to like that country music...), but there has been an explosion of rustic, country-inspired weddings lately! Don't get me wrong, I had the absolute BEST time at our wedding, but with all of the gorgeous eye candy out there, how can you not be inspired?? I love, love, love the photo above and in my fantasy wedding world I would totally have my girls wear short dresses with cowboy boots.

And I would have a cake like this. On a stand like that. With sweet little birdies on top!

Gorgeous, no?

5 year diary

Oh my, my. I've been remiss! I can't believe it's been three weeks since my last blog post. Yikes! It's not for lack of projects, more of the opposite really - 2 more weddings, helping plan the most a-freaking-dorable party for my twin niece and nephew, several ruined batches of macarons *sad face*, and a rock the frock session in my wedding dress, just to name a few - I have been neglecting my poor little blog. Well no more, I say!

At least I have gotten better at keeping up with my new friend, the 5 year diary:

Isn't it adorable?? I totally have been keeping the wraparound label on it, because it's just so cute and woodsy. Each day has it's own page and is divided into 5 sections so you can jot down thoughts and events for the next 60 months of your life. There is really only room for a few sentences each day, so even a slacker like myself can keep up (although, I must admit: I sometimes have to do a couple days at a time). I just think it will be fun in the next few years to look back and see what I was doing on a particular day! What can I say, I'm just sentimental like that. ;)

What I'm Loving Today....

Ah, succulents. If only I had known you existed many moons ago! I'm drawn to the juxtaposition of the sturdy leaves next to the beauty of a flower...in fact, no one puts it better than the encyclopedia itself:

"There is something architectural about cactuses and their succulent cousins...[they] occupy their spaces with an authority that willowy plants just can't manage."

I couldn't have said it better myself!

So simple, yet SO pretty.

Check out the gorgeousness of this bouquet! And the succulent in the hair? Swoon...The perfect accessory for a desert wedding!
