wedding wednesday

May 14, 2014

you know when you’re having one of those days when you’re feeling pretty good about yourself…..

and then BAM!!!!

olivia palermo has that effect. that bitch.

thanks a lot ~~obama~~ olivia.

I hate to even admit this, because I hate giving egomaniacs Kimye more attention, but I actually am excited for their wedding weekend…… if simply to bitchily rip apart all of the ridiculous things they do because they thing they are the King and Queen of the world.

I feel like she has forgotten something……

what is it?

OH YEAH. it’s your THIRD wedding woman!!

take it down a notch.

We registered for monogrammed china,

a true example of where “we” means “I” because I don’t think he even knows what china is

but I really love some of the Kate Spade pieces I stumbled upon.

{kate spade platter}

{kate spade individual pasta bowls}

I can’t resist navy stripes. I need to add these to the registry asap.

I can’t get enough of this beautiful Georgia wedding.

If only Kip would allow me to do the above to his cumberbun …..

I’m just lucky he agreed to the cumberbun.

ps…. when I google I get a million different ways to spell cumberbun so no judgement, because I have no clue

on the way to the airport last weekend my mom and I popped into swoozies.

swoozies is our idea of heaven. an entire room of personalized, monogrammed, girly everything.

they had these sequin clutches I’ve always loved…… so pretty.

swoozies is where the monograms from the bridal shower were from too.

these wedding wednesdays make me mad because I realize

I can’t share any of the cute stuff I’ve done because most of it needs to be a “surprise” for the guests.

damn it!!!!

but then I realize no one knows I blog because I tell no one about it and kept it hidden for years ….. so …..

I ordered two of these to put on the back our reception chairs.

and last weekend I bought navy spray paint…..

so you know what’s next…..

I’m gonna get all crafty up in here!

i cannot get enough of her on SNL, anyone she imitates is pure gold.

I’m thinking this will be my one and only DIY, because considering I can’t even paint my own finger nails without it looking like a 3 year old did it, I don’t have high expectations.

wish me luck …. I guarantee I somehow mess up spray painting.

completely thrilling wedding details being shared, I know. wooooo.

{bec & bridge reversible dress}

{amanda uprichard skirt}

you know if anything has an open or pretty back I just can’t resist.

{ramy brook cowl back top}

I’ve been debating my feelings about these scalloped bathing suits you see everywherefor a long time…

this one has a pretty subtle print to it to make it a bit more interesting.

and it’s on my favorite shopbop model so for some reason I like things 10x more when she has them on. #sadbuttrue

{scalloped eyelet bikini}

prettiest LBD ever with bangin’ cap sleeves.

damn expensive…… but so pretty.

{embellished sleeve dress}

can never have enough navy striped tanks

{tibi tank}

{sachin + bobi dress}

navy leather perfection.

{foley + corinna tote}

open back…. so….. I’m helpless…..

{brauti drape tank}

I’m on the hunt for a great tunic for the honeymoon.
I love the large ones (pareos I keep seeing them called?)
that can be worn as a skirt, dress, halter, etc.

{roberta roller rabbit sarong}
anyone know of any cute ones that can be worn a bunch of different ways?

Lifestyle, weekend recap

week/weekend recap

May 12, 2014

sorry that I’ve been away for so long!

i know….. i know……

it was a crazy week after recovering from the bachelorette, wedding planning, and flying home for mothers day.

Ill share some more bachelorette fun on wednesday…..

I had the greatest weekend finally getting to spend a lot of time with my nephew.

I can’t keep my hands off of him. Especially when he is in navy stripes.

and I was able to celebrate mothers day weekend at home with my mom….

the matching ensembles happens far more often that I would like to admit.

but don’t worry…. when its actual clothing instead of PJ’s one of us changes ~~after we argue about who has to change~~ before we leave the house.

I’ve been using Etsy like a madwoman getting items for the wedding.

I love the new stationary that I ordered

it’s from Meredith Collie Paper

{I’ll need to find something new for the post-wedding stationary….oh well…..}

there are so many other monogram etsy items, but a lot of them are for the bridesmaids so I can’t share them quite yet.

I’ve found some great napkins and hand towels from merrimade

my favorite link of the week:
8 best betchy mom scenes of all time . they’re fantastic.
#8: when kitty forman got stoned on that 70’s show

I know it’s been a boring past week around these parts, so I promise to liven it back up.

I’m dedicated to catching up on all of my DVR this week that we can coffee talk on Thursday!

there is lots of housewives gossip to discuss…..

in particular last weeks RHONY in the Berkshires.

summarizing all of my emotions towards every TV show I watch into one.

Lifestyle

stilllll a little tired.

May 6, 2014

I’m on work, eat, sleep schedule and nothing else at the moment ……

so my mindless blog talk today has been postponed.

I’ll do my best to return this week and coffee talk it up……

but just being honest….. I fell asleep last night during the first 5 minutes of the RHOA reunion part III with all the lights on and slept til morning.

This CLEARLY shows that my mental state has not returned.

How does one fall asleep during a housewives reunion when you have no life except for watching TV shows on Bravo????

Oh wait…. because I had the time of my life all weekend and don’t even care how long it takes to recover.

Be back as soon as I can.

coffee talk, Lifestyle

cocktail time.

May 1, 2014

I won’t be seeing my half-husband for a week and a half between my bachelorette, his work trip, and his bachelor party.

so I don’t have a coffee talk prepared because we wanted to spend as much quality time together last night before these long lonely days apart.

HA!!! I jest …..

we watched flipping out while on our separate computers perusing pinterest.

PREACH.

but seriously…… just leave your comments below about the Southern Charm reunion

because MY MIND IS BLOWN.

I won’t say what every single one of you is thinking………

but I don’t know what made me more uncomfortable:

Thomas talking about how he is still entirely in love with his ex and he seemed like he could cry over it…… or him saying he didn’t care that Kathryn had slept with ALL of the men in the room (except my boyfriend Andy Cohen)…… or basically everything involving Thomas and Kathryn.

and if someone can find the side-by-side of Whitney and Mr. Rogers’ Lady Elaine Fairchile that they aired on WWHL…….

i. can’t. breathe. it’s. so. good.

puh-lease send it to me and I will pay pal you my life savings asap….

because google is not being friendly to me tonight and I can’t find it for the life of me to send to my mom ~~who watches more tv than any living soul and somehow missed it, what the hell?!~~ .

alright happy weekend.

I’ll post appropriate pics of the bachelorette this weekend on instagram…..

nothing cah-razy I promise.

wedding wednesday

April 30, 2014

today for wedding wednesday I’m sharing our wedding invitation!

it combined two my favorite things,

navy and monograms.

I blurred the address out, so ignore the ugly splotches that now appear on the outer envelope 🙂

but please do notice my killer my photography skills.

I’m going to post some photography tips for food and such at some point….

sitting on the couch in pajamas, hiding any stains on the couch, and illuminating your subject with the glow from the TV while Bravo plays generally gives some amazing lighting for photos.

i’m such a pro it slays me.
