I hate when I don't blog. I constantly have this little feeling like I'm forgetting to do something. So it is with great happiness that I'm finally back at it. The holiday season is in full swing, and between that, the excitement of getting engaged, and my new found love for Pinterest, I've had very little time to sit and take it all in. Tonight I finally had some time to get inspired, and make a list of things to do before Christmas has come and gone. Below are what's currently making me happy.
I cannot take credit for this photo, but I recently enjoyed tea, a cupcake, and Vogue. Best pairing ever? Yes, I do believe.
I've been completely enamored with stars lately. Not sure why, but I think it has to do with the sparkle.
Tights with seams add the perfect amount of sexy to demure outfits. I'm thinking paired with a simple shift, it would be the perfect combo.
Staying away from Pronovias.com and other wedding dress sites has proved near impossible. This picture is making me want to find the perfect shoes to go with the perfect dress!
Starting to plan a trip to a place I've always dreamed of going (Ireland!)
On a side note, it could snow (a LOT) anytime now. I wouldn't complain one bit.
My fiance and I just discovered eco-fire places. They're essentially oversized candles, but put off warmth and look like a real fire. Too excited.
By chance I stumbled upon my favorite Creative Writing teacher's Tumblr. First thing I asked her was what books she recommends. Her top choice was The Greenlanders. A chapter in and I wish I could spend all day reading.
This song is amazing. It is so romantic and makes me want to plan a wedding. Maybe it's the craziness of the holidays, but I've been all about classical/simple music lately.
Here's hoping your weekend is filled with all things that delight - leather bound books, champagne, fancy brunches and adventures with handsome strangers.
The Winter Wonderland that welcomed me home from my cruise on April 18. Yes, April.
Being gone for the past ten days has been wonderful, and to be honest, I had been dreading coming back to the dreary midwest (I was welcomed with 2 inches of snow.) But it wasn't until I actually got home that I realized how much I missed it. Here is what I'm happy to be back to.
My own bathroom. No matter how hard I try, I never remember all of my beauty products. Plus, I hate how hotel towels never smell like fabric softener. I love fabric softener.
My own bed. This might seem obvious, but it's not just my bed. It's all my stuffed animals, and my blankets, and my kitties.
The prettiest part of spring has still yet to come! Everything is about to blossom, and being gone for a week makes warm weather that much closer. Sunshiney weather *has* to be right around the corner.
Seeing my family and friends. Duh. Even if you're not gone long enough to really get homesick, it's still such a great feeling to see the ones you love after being away.
Cooking. I will be cooking nothing but vegetable for the next month I swear, due to the fact that I ate enough to feed a small country on my vacation. Far too many quesadillas, escargots, and tequila shots. Detox time.
