My Best Friend's Wedding....
(well, one of my best friend's weddings....)
My dear friend Melissa is marrying wonderful guy named Greg at the end of May. I have been charged with not only being one the bridesmaids but also being the wedding planner, go to make-up artist, and many other time consuming things. But its really fun to help her and I love it so much I might actually go into business one of these days helping others plan their beautiful wedding day.
We went through a whole lot of back and forth about acceptable and low priced bridesmaids dresses the past few days. We have many different heights and body types in the wedding party so taking all that in to consideration we decided to for-go David's Bridal (way too over priced). Instead we chose a variety of jersey sundresses/summery dresses that were in cthe learance section at Macy's. I'm stoked because they're all cute and very much wearable for over occasions.
Here's the one I bought (this is the purple color we're all wearing):
And these are the shoes I might want to buy to go with it (so cute right??):

Hello 2010
So yeah.. I've been a blogging slacker. Mostly I haven't written because I knew if I did I would just be whiney and I'd complain about work A LOT, so I spared you from many angry rants.
So its 2010, which is completely crazy to me and it blows my mind a bit. Has it really been 10 years since 2000? yikes! I feel old.
So this year i'm praying and hoping desperately for some great life changes.
-The hubby and I both need/want new jobs and I really feel like thats going to happen for us very soon. *fingers crossed and prayers please*
-We both need to get in better shape. We joined a gym (finally!) and so far we've made it two days in a row. It feels good to take the days stresses out on a bike or an elliptical for 30 minutes! It makes me feel wonderful and I want to keep it up permanently. We've also been trying really hard to eat healthy and nutritious foods rather then eat junk. So far we've been fairly successful. I hope we keep the good eating going. :)
-Get back into going to church regularly. I'll admit we've been HUGE slackers about church the past months and I really miss my church community.
-Keep our lives/house organized and tidy on a daily basis. When I'm stressed I either (1) obsessively organize weird things or (2) completely give up on cleaning and organizing until I regain my sanity. During the Holiday season I unfortunately fell into the second catagory because work was so SO awful. So I need to be a bit more diligent about organizing our lives.
Well that's it for now. Hopefully I'll post again soon (maybe even with some tasty recipes).
Much Love,
M

Vintage Love
If you know me then you know I'm slightly obsessed/in love with the show Mad Men (2009 Emmy winner, baby!). Ever since High School I've had a crazy love for all things "vintage" and glamorous. Especially the decades of the 40's, 50's and 60's. So for Halloween this year I'm going to go as one of the sirens of the sizzling early 60's as imagined via the Mad Men world. Here are just a couple of the dresses I've found that I'm lovin'.

Fall is upon us...
It is a fabulously chilly day here in NC. I am excited because tomorrow it's September, which means Autumn is just few short weeks away. Fall is by far my favorite season because its not hot but not yet freezing. And my favorite part of this season (besides boots, fabulous sweaters, and scarves) is Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte!!! woohoo. its officially back and i can't wait to have one. :)Happy Almost-Autumn.

Playing Catch Up
Since we last chatted dear blogosphere, I've been to the beach with the girls, celebrated 2 years of marriage to my dear sweet hubby, + went to the mountains with my Mom's side of the family. All of these events were lots of fun but I feel like Summer is slipping by relatively quickly. Remember when Summer seemed to last forever? I miss those days.
Guess we just have to hold on and enjoy the ride that is life day by day.
Not much else to say. I'll post more pictures later!
love,
M
PS: thought to ponder... what's your favorite song/album that makes you think of Summer (not necessarily about Summer).

Off to the beach...
Tomorrow I'm off to the beach with all the girl's on my husband's side of the family. I love my in laws + all my family on that side; as well as the beach--so I'm stoked! Hopefully the weather will be nice, everyone will get along (you never know with a house full of women!), and I'll be able to just relax. After the crazy week I had, it'll be nice to just chill.
Hopefully my hubby and sweet puppy will have fun for a few days without me ;) But for now I'm off to pack for Oak Island paradise!
See you next week!
