Blonde Bride or Brunette Bride?

I have a hair appointment coming up, and I can't help but ask myself if I am a blonde bride or a brunette bride.

 

 

 

Some days I miss being a brunette. My natural color is a plain light brown.

 

I find blonde highlights a lot easier to main than overall darker color. When your light roots start coming in on darker colored hair, it looks weird like Ozzy Osborne's roots sometimes look.

 

I may just get some lowlights and avoid a big change.

 

Happy Hump Day!! 

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday Lovelies! I am in a good mood today because Fall Break is Thursday and Friday.

 

This weekend was low key and very low stress-exactly what I needed. I did well on the midterm I took last week, so I gave myself a break and didn't touch anything to do with school all weekend. I didn't even turn on the computer.

 

Nick's new couch for his man cave arrived Friday and we wasted no time testing it out. We love it!

 

This is our friend Brock (on the new couch) watching football at our house Saturday. Brock is marrying us this April.

 

The dogs loved us being home so much this weekend. I only left the house for a few trips to the gym (I got in three workouts), a TJ Maxx run for a few new fall items, and the grocery store.

 

We also started watching Breaking Bad yesterday and ended up watching the entire first season. I don't know what took me so long to start watching-I love this show.

 

Have a great Monday! 





Rainy Day Splurge

It's raining for the second day in a row here, and I'm already sick of it. However, I am excited for the chance to wear my Hunter boots.

 

These were worth the splurge and I am so glad I went with bright red. It brings some cheer into a dreary day.

 

How I wish this was in my budget for rainy days! These are much more budget friendly and I would love to add them to my wardrobe. I really love Burberry if you couldn't tell.

 

I have a midterm this week, so that is pretty much taking over my life.

 

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

Weekend Recap

This weekend we celebrated my Mom's birthday. I ordered this adorable Olivia the Pig cake for her from The Sweetery in Anderson. The Sweetery has been featured in Southern Living and is always so good!

 

I picked Olivia to decorate her cake because she has a micro mini pig.

 

This is us in the Islander where I used to work.

 

 

Sunday we watched Mud starring Matthew McConaughey. It was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It was funny to see little Southern Belle Reese Witherspoon totally white trash for this role.

 

Happy Monday! 





Rolling with the Punches in Life {Wedding Planning Edition}

This week we learned two members of our wedding party have to move to Hawaii unexpectedly and are unable to be in our wedding.

 

I can be pretty high anxiety, as those of you that know me IRL can attest, and a few years ago I would have lost it over this. I probably would have driven all of my friends and coworkers crazy obsessing over it endlessly. 

 

When I switched photographers this summer I really let the decision torment me because I didn't want to be offensive or insulting to the photographer I hired originally. It wasn't worth it to lose sleep over, its my wedding after all. {BTW I went with Courtney Dox and am so excited about her!}

 

I guess I've come along way, or I am mellowing out with age, because I took this in stride. Things come up, and we understand that this can't be helped. I will only have three bridesmaids instead of four. Of course we will miss the fourth bridesmaid, but it will still be great. Most of all I am just so happy to be marrying Nick that nothing is going to stop me from enjoying the excitement.

 

I went with four because I liked the even number for pictures, but I found this on google images and I'm fine with it. I also think the flowers this bride used are really pretty.

 

 

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!



It's October!

It still doesn't feel very much like fall in SC, but nevertheless, I am happy October is here.

 

 

I LOVE Halloween and will post some of my decorations soon. I love living in a neighborhood and having Trick or Treaters. More on my plans for that later.

 

I am still majorly into all black everything for this fall. I got some black items this weekend on my big shopping binge with Marcia.

 

 

I would love to add a leather jacket to my wardrobe. We will see.

 

Happy October!!



Weekend Recap

Saturday one of my besties, Marcia, and her husband John, visited us. They brought their new puppy, who is a rescue dog they found while camping. She is the sweetest little thing. She also kept Yadi entertained, so much so that for a minute I almost thought about getting a third dog just so he could have a friend.

 

We left the men at home watching football, and we went shopping. We were seriously out of control. You would think we never get out. We shopped for five hours straight. No sitting, no stopping for fro yo, no Starbucks stops. Just hard shopping. We were exhausted by the end of our day, but both found some great stuff. I am wearing a new hot pink shirt I got today.

 

It's hard to find a friend you can shop with, so I am lucky to have Marcia!

 

*I haven't been able to fit into these pants since I started dating Nick two years ago, and now they are loose so that was a nice feeling. :) *

 

I also practiced transcribing for my Clinical Phonetics class. I had a bad week school wise last week, but I think things are looking up now.

 

I hope everyone has a great Monday!
