I mean…I don’t know what to say. What can you say? Envy ensues…

Bridal Inspiration {Shoes}
In dreamland, my bridal shoes would be Miu Miu, McQueen, Jimmy Choo or Louboutin. Dream with me, won’t you? This is if I go the more traditional route…I will have to devote an entire post to non-traditional shoes.
Miu Miu (favorite, I think?)
In the real world, however I must search for an affordable(ish) option and I’m pleasantly surprised by what I see. Badgely Mischka has quite a few lovely options.

A Short Week
Ro and I are headed south this afternoon to attend a funeral. So it will be a short week for me. While I’m gone, enjoy some of what I’ve been loving lately.

This is why people hate you, Lauren Santo Domingo
“I’m 8 ½ months pregnant and not much has changed—it’s been pretty easy, I haven’t had any sickness…I’ve been really really lucky. In fact, my hair has grown two inches! [Laughs] I’m the same size, in everything that goes above or below the bump. I don’t really have cravings. When you’re in New York, and you can get your hands on anything, it doesn’t really feel like a craving. All of a sudden when you’re like, ‘Oh, I want a Belgian waffle,’ or, ‘I want a bagel with lox,’ it’s outside your front door. When you’re in the middle of nowhere and you can’t get it, I’m sure that feels strange. My husband cooks a lot and last night he made mashed potatoes with bacon and chives…that’s kind of what I want all the time.” Lauren Santo Domingo via Into the Gloss
Your size hasn’t changed and you eat mashed potatoes all the time? WTF.
Valentino, deer & other things.
I’ve discovered a website to adore: gofugyourself.com has me all excited. On another note and discovered via the fug girls, is it possible that Valentino really looks like this?
Over the weekend I went to South Arkansas with my bf. It was a good trip. His family is lovely and rather un-crazy so it’s always nice to see them. This particular weekend we went to the hunting camp and yours truly happened to witness two large bucks (the deer with the antlers for those of us unfamiliar) “locked-up” in the throes of some sort of Planet Earth-worthy altercation. I was rather proud that I chose to wear knee-high flat boots (thanks forever21!) as I sauntered through the forest hoping to get a look at the Bambi’s daddies/hoping to find a nearby tree if there was any chance of getting skewered. Boyfriend and I were a little behind the action but we did catch glimpses and in the end, the bucks were freed with the help of a 12-foot chainsaw, only an antler and an eyeball were lost…and there’s a video…to be posted shortly.

Autumn in Italy
According to Garance Doré, Italy is absolutely lovely in the Fall. I have to say, I think any of us would enjoy ourselves in this beautiful country, autumn or otherwise. It’s been almost 10 years since I was in Italy as a youngin’ and I’m dying to go back.
The thought of swimming in the Mediterranean, eating figs and prosciutto, lazing about and exploring. I could dig it.
