On Holiday
I love this editorial. It looks like a honeymoon, which sounds lovely right about now. The soft palette and gorgeous swimwear has me ready to jet to Acapulco (where this was shot) right now.

Way down yonder in New Orleans
My bags are packed! I’m ready to go! It’s hard to believe that I’m heading to New Orleans to celebrate my bachelorette, see sweet friends that I haven’t seen in a long time and get excited about my wedding in exactly THREE MONTHS from tomorrow!
The weekend has already started nicely, my dress was delivered today! I haven’t opened the box yet but I’m so excited.
I hope you have a lovely holiday weekend! I’ll leave you with a little picture of the future Bridewells.

Enjoy your weekend, Darling.
With all the craziness, sadness and unpredictability of our society today, it is evermore important to hold on to what’s real and valuable in our lives.
I hope something makes each and every one of you devastatingly happy this weekend.
I’ll be relaxing, celebrating a dear friend’s upcoming baby girl and continuing to nest in the new place.
My wedding dress comes in next Thursday, then it’s off to New Orleans for my bachelorette celebration with college friends. Don’t we all have so much to look forward to?

My Wedding Inspirations
Today is April 27th. That means our wedding is exactly four months away. I hyperventilated a bit when I realized. In honor of that and of the royal wedding (of course) I thought I’d share some of my wedding inspirations. If Kate Middleton forsakes Queen Victoria’s jewels for flowers in her hair I will never forgive her.

a stunningly simple setting for the ceremony
shoes that sparkle
a ranunculus boutonnière
on a classic tux
sneaks at the reception
all the girls in light, feminine hues
flowers in her hair
honeymoons in far off places
a little new orleans flavor

Angela Lindvall in Positano
I continue to be enchanted by Positano in Italy, where we will spend part of our honeymoon. This is Angela Lindvall for Zara S/S 2007. Soon it will be me!

Honeymoon Dreaming (Anthropologie Swim)
Ok I know…the sun has just barely come out. In Arkansas, we can barely promise ourselves it won’t freeze again. But nothing has the ability to make me long for the beach like Anthropologie swimwear. As as been their moda operandi they have chosen feminine silhouettes and figure flattering shapes. I just might have to indulge for Positano! This collection is the only thing making me feel better about passing on a sub from the new Green Machine place in Fayetteville. I’ve heard it’s to die…

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.
