My Outfit: Tropicana

Dress: TJ Maxx, Sweater: Target, Heels: Maude Shoppe

When I woke up yesterday it was quite nippy. Frost on the windshield even! I said a little prayer for the sun to come out and by the afternoon it was 65 and sunny.

Happy (April) Weekend

Flowers are blooming and the weather is warmer.  Have a cocktail. Go on a date. Wear a backless dress. Sleep in. Walk the dogs. Go to a party. Take a bath. Do whatever you want and enjoy every second. xo

Love Being A Girl

Although it doesn’t always come naturally, I think we should all try to enjoy being who we are everyday.

Anthropologie Swim

I figure if I post enough/look at enough swimsuits, it could only further me on my pursuit of honeymoon shape. xo

Bridal Inspiration {Our Honeymoon}

We booked our honeymoon! AHHH! I’m so excited. We are going to Italy (Rome and Positano) for eight days. We’re staying at the Marcella Royal Hotel in Roma and Hotel Buci de Bacco in Positano.

Rome…

Bridal Inspiration {Farewells}

What’s the best way to say goodbye when you’re leaving your own wedding? I’ve got to say I think I like petals or birdseed best. What do you think?

Are we going to the same place?

Whenever my beau and I go out, I always suggest that we look like “we’re going to the same place”. This doesn’t necessarily mean that we dress alike. It just means that we are in the same neighborhood. We both look like we’re going to the same party, instead of him looking like he’s going to a frat event and me looking like I’m going to a Mad Men-themed bash. I think Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson do an exceptional job of this. They never match, rarely coordinate but always look very much together (not to mention adorable). Case in point…

This outfit objective can be applied to any situation with anyone and it always makes you and your group (your beau, your friends) look very chic.
