Like everyone else in blog land, I love this bag.

Free People jewelry

I am loving the jewelry from Free People.  They have a one-of-a-kind section and also feature different artists.  Lots of cool pieces at many price points.

This week has been a hectic one at my job.  I have nothing exciting to report other than my new found love of The Avett Brothers.  They're so great.

This last picture is for Eric...note the vests?

And I'm happy it's Friday!

 

New...

I spent this past weekend dreaming up and creating a few new pieces.  These will be going into my shop over the next few days.

Three Horses

I really want one of these necklaces from Three Horses.  They're so unique and I'm loving the color combos.

I think the one above is going to be mine.

But they're all so cool!  Check out the shop here.

My boys

Aren't they cute?  Eric is away for a few days visiting a friend in Denver. It's a little bit lonely around here but I'm planning to spend my alone time working on lots of new jewelry!

And yes, that's a double bed.  One of the other pluses to the alone time.

I love hat

My sister got me this hat as a Christmas present.  I've been wearing it constantly.  Thank you Emma!

I love it so much, I had to get it in red too.

Both of these beauties come from Urban Outfitters but I can't find it on their website anymore (btw, isn't it annoying how the stores have moved out all their winter stuff already?).  Made by Wooden Ships.

Last Weekend

Last weekend was a long weekend and I guess I'm still recovering hence the 2 days late blog post. The holiday weekend was spent at home in the Detroit suburbs. On Saturday my mom and me and 2 of my bridesmaids went to look at wedding dresses. We went here which was great and I would totally recommend it to any bride looking for a unique dress.

Saturday evening was spend with these fabulous people:




Norm, one of the cutest dogs I've ever met.






Eric taking a quick nap (why are his eyes closed in every picture?).





On Sunday my wonderful parents took us out for dinner and a nightcap. Thanks Mom & Dad!



It was a great weekend. And hooray for a 4 day week!

Love this entire outfit.

On the homepage of Anthropologie.com the last few days.

Have a happy weekend!

The Wedding Color Scheme

Yesterday I finally settled on a color scheme for the wedding and I feel really good about it! The original plan was to use a lot of purple. I love purple but I felt like I was forcing it a bit and it just wasn't coming together too well in my mind. Yesterday's epiphany was - wait, I don't have to do purple! I'm allowed to change my mind.

It's not a rigid set of colors but this is what I'm picturing - summer evening on the farm:












I still want to have some purple on the tables.



I don't know exactly where I got all these images (sorry!). But I know most are from here, here and here.

The wedding is just about 7 months away now and I'm getting pretty excited! Maybe having a color scheme I like makes me feel happier about planning. I'm trying on some dresses this weekend too. I haven't tried anything on yet and I guess it's time to get moving!
