Happy Weekend!

Hello! What are you up to this weekend? I'm off on a little vaca for the last official weekend of the summer - geez that season went by too fast! I'll be watching the Alabama game Saturday, of course. Anyone else get excited about college football? I also may or may not be going to see the One Direction movie, haha! Seriously, they're awesome : ) Have a great weekend and enjoy these fun posts . . .

I've been following Beth's blog, One Day In June for a while now. It's a lifestyle blog about her and her husband Stater's {cool name huh?!} fun trips to Canada, adventures in Utah, and most recent vaca to Disneyland!

I've asked Starter to tell us about what he loves about fall and his fashion must-haves for the season. Luckily, he has agreed to share!

I am a very simple dresser.  My top places to shop for fall favorites are Nordstrom, Express, the Nike store, and I can always rely on Target {Strater and I just became best friends. I mean who doesn't love Target?! I think the employees knowing me by name is not a sign of how frequent I shop there, right?! haha} I am all about comfort and finding a good fit. These stores help me find that.

 

Fall is one of my favorite seasons.  I like it for many reasons. First off, because the weather cools down.  Since I am from Canada, most of my clothes are for fall/winter weather.  So it's nice to have more clothing options. Next, I like the smell of leaves and maple trees in the air. Last, I love to see the colors of the trees. We live close to a canyon and nothing beats driving down the canyon and seeing the yellow and red colors.

Thanks so much for sharing Strater!

Happy Friday, friends! Can you believe it's almost September - where in the heck is this year going?! As of today, I am officially moved into my new place {yay}! Get ready for a grand tour once everything is put in it's place. Let's just say I've got a few {okay, at least ten} more boxes to open before everything is out. What are you up to this weekend? I'll be unpacking, attending a dinner party, a wine tasting, and watching the VMA's. Have a great few days and enjoy these fun posts . . .

I have to admit something. I am completely over summer and counting down the days til fall. Okay, so you probably already knew that. I have to admit something else . . . I've already made the change in my closet to fall clothes and switched out my room freshener from lavender vanilla to pumpkin spice. Oops. If you don't mind, the remaining posts for the rest of the year are going to feature my favorites for fall and winter so prepare yourselves for pumpkin, sweater, and Bordeaux overload! To continue my rant of unofficially fall favorites, here are some of my Wednesday loves.

sip, think, write

Hi there Monday, you came too fast. Did you all have a good weekend? I loved spending time with some new and old friends. But the highlight? Oh, that would be watching Eat Pray Love on a rainy Sunday night. Don't you just love those nights?  

I'm ready to take on this week, aren't you? Here's a little inspiration - and to beat those Monday blues I'm thinking a little tea sipping, deep thinking, and lots of writing.  

Happy Weekend!

 

Hi friends! Did you have a good week? Mine was busy spent prepping for an important work meeting yesterday and packing up my room. That's right, I'm moving! More to come on that little note soon. What have you got planned for the weekend? I'm just working a little bit and then dinner with some college friends tomorrow night - which I am so excited about! I love when we can have dinners to catch up and hear about each others busy lives! Have a great weekend and if you're in the reading mood be sure to check out these fun links . . .

Fall roll outs are slowly coming into stores and I just can't wait for crisp mornings and pumpkin spice lattes. It's seriously my favorite season of the year! A quilted vest is number one on my wish list with a jeweled soft sweater coming in second. I don't mind trading in my sandals for a pair of suede ankle boots. As for my make-up, I like to keep things subtle. This past weekend at the wedding the matron-of-honor, Dani, introduced me to Benetint lip and blush stain. It is totally awesome and lasts all day- the perfect flush for everyday! Tell me, what's on your fall wish list?

Wedding Weekend Roundup

This past weekend was a real good one. My sister is a married woman - weird to finally say that, ha! The past few days have been like a whirlwind - so many things to do, people to see - and it was a complete blast!

Just a warning beforehand, this post contains a lot of pictures.

We started out the wedding weekend with a bridal luncheon that was just as beautifully planned out as the hostess' {Jesse's cousin and aunt}. I'm talking every detail was perfect from the table setting to the bridal cake place cards to the homemade lunch and décor.

The rehearsal took place later that evening. It was nice to have both families gather around, speak a few words, and celebrate the soon-to-be bride and groom. Some of the bridesmaids stayed in a hotel room together with Jessica before the big day. Champagne toasts, karaoke, and lots of laughter was shared. Not to mention Jessica was showing us some of her signature dance moves she busted out for the wedding.

My brother is growing up too fast!

Saturday morning we had a little visitor {baby Hunter} who came to wish Jessica good luck while we were getting our hair curled and plastered with hair spray - no joke, my hair was so stiff I thought it would break off. A little rain for good luck showered the afternoon - luckily after most of the pictures had been taken, and then it was show time! So many loved ones came to watch the newly weds say their vows and after the couple said I do we ate and danced the night away!

It's her wedding day!

and this is how we really feel about each other, ha!

Happy Weekend!
