I saw this cutie heart dress and knew it’d be the perfect piece for a What to Wear Wednesday post. I love wearing blazers over a dress with a narrow cute belt. You could even add tights to this ensemble. Sure it’s a little cliche with a love purse and heart ring, but that goes right along with the Valentine’s Day theme, right? : )

While my faaavorite thing ever is being a mama to my sweet little girls, every once in awhile I jones for an uninterrupted dinner with people who don’t ask for chocolate milk refills in the middle of the meal. I saw these photos (by Lauren Rae Photography) on The Perfect Palette and thought what a fab Valentine’s Day themed dinner party this little set up would make. Make sure to check out the original blog post for the credits and way more photos. Cue the champagne!
Time’s a tickin’… it’s almost Valentine’s Day! One part of me thinks this holiday is a bit ridic… but the other part of me looks forward to receiving a thoughtful gift. Here are some ideas for cute gifts any lady might like. : )
1) A thoughtful art print with a lovely “You Are So Loved” message
2) Ralph Lauren Romance, my all time favorite scent
3) New shades, like these trendy Warby Parker frames
4) A tulle skirt if you’re shopping for a girly girl
5) Sparkle is never a bad idea for Valentine’s Day, love this peach necklace
6) A sweet customized journal, it could used for jotting down thoughts, recipes or to-do lists… include a custom love letter of course!
8) One of your favorite recent photos in a lovely frame. Photos are one of the most thoughtful gifts, but being a photographer this opinion could be biased. : )
If you happen to follow me on Instagram, you’ll see I did a little too much shopping this week. I found some cute stuff at Homegoods, Target, TJ Maxx and Bealls Outlet. I tell myself that it’s ok to buy things from these stores since everything is such a bargain. Nothing in the first pic was more than $7.99!
So who watches Keeping Up with the Kardashians? No one? Yeah, right. It’s ok, I don’t like to admit it either, but it’s true that I do indeed enjoy it. I’m not sure what attracts me to the show, but I think part of what keeps it interesting is their family dynamics… and Scott’s hilariousness.
Recently I’ve seen Kourtney & Scott’s house designed by Jeff Andrews pop up all over the place… and just a few short days later after all this buzz was created, they put it on the market. Smart… veeery smart. In watching the show I was always curious what the other rooms look like in the house so I was delighted to see that they had it photographed and featured online. Her style is a little out there but parts of the home are funky cute. What do you think?
The Pantone color of 2014 is Radiant Orchid… at first I wasn’t as crazy about it as I was for last year’s color, emerald green. I’ve seen lots of purple weddings as a photographer and it is usually one of my least favorite detail colors. However, I started thinking how it could be incorporated in a classic way and the solution was to mix in lots of white, green and a wine/burgundy color. Use it for a garden wedding and this could be the result!

I’m ready to freshen up my bathroom! As always, love me some black & white with grey and gold mixed in there!

My baby girl turned 4 in December! We had a small birthday party for her at my parents’ house and it would have been cuter… if it wouldn’t have rained. So we ended up having a party in their garage and the kids had just as much fun! : ) Loved seeing them play dress up and play with each other, 4 year olds are so cute! Borrowed Sugar Confections made the adoooorable Princess Amelia sugar cookies, I was obsessed with them!
Happy New Year! With a blank slate ahead of us it’s easy to think of our hopes for the next year. Mine are pretty cliche but honest nonetheless…
I hope for continued good health and plenty of time spent with family.
I hope to be the best parents we can be to raise our daughters to be happy, positive and ambitious additions to our world.
I hope to use my time, energy and talents to make others feel happy, appreciated and loved.
I strive to always be thankful for what we are given in this life!
What do you hope for in 2014?
New Years Eve is always such a sparkly holiday… in my mind I will be attending a glitzy cocktail party in a gold glitter dress never without a glass of champagne in my hand. In reality, I will most likely be cuddling my sweet babies and hubby at home… perhaps with champagne still in hand. : ) I love all of these New Years Eve party ideas and inspiration photos. Maybe next year we’ll get glammed up and hit the town… maybe.
