Mummy

Yesterday was my mummy's birthday and although I couldn't be with her, Patrick and I celebrated for her in spirit. She was actually living it up in NYC with her cousin and I assume they're up to no good. 

Happy Birthday!

All in all, this weekend has been great fun and low key and as I type I'm getting ready to watch some Downton Abbey with the sweetheart. Has anyone else been hooked on this show? IT'S SO JUICY! Oh you Brits never seem to fail me. 

That's all! 

Bridal Shoe Shopping...at Ikea.

Had a super fun day shopping last Friday with my friend Chase.

We went looking for bridal shoes and naturally ended up as IKEA.

I fell in love this this soft pink room with gray, white and black accents.

That headboard got my wheels turning on a project... just a thought bubble.

Also, my phone pictures need to go. Looking for a new camera...like a big girl one.

Any suggestions?

Make Me Feel Autumnal

Although Florida's version of Fall isn't as distinct as in NY, the last few nights have been much cooler and it's been quite the delightful treat. 

In honor of the Autumnal Equinox, 

here are just a few things that I love about Autumn!

Pumpkin pie: Happiness in my mouth. 

You may think I'm crazy, but I am such sucker for Libby's Easy Pumpkin Pie Mix. It's SO stinkin' good!!!! It's my go-to lazy festive pie.

Layering. It's just more clothes to play with.

Breaking out the heavy down comforter. 

Here in Florida, I just crank up the AC at night and pretend I'm back in NY. hehe **Le Sigh.**

Last but my most favorite:

Cozy nights in with the Beau.

 During the summer we like to enjoy the great weather and the long days. Once Autumn hits, it feels great to just stay in and relax. 

Is Fall your favorite season?

Something Borrowed..

I'll start by saying that I have the sweetest mother-in-law to be in the whole wide world. For that I am extremely fortunate. I know some people aren't so fortunate in that department but luckily for me, she is sweet as pie and oh so gracious with us. 

I simply love getting things in the post, but today's post was even more special because it was from her. 

She sent over this box with a little note that said: 

While in Charlotte this past weekend we were chatting about my wedding dress and came to the realization that I had Something Old- My beautiful ring, which was Patrick's French grandmother's, Something New- My new wedding dress (Squeal! Thanks mummy!) and Something Blue- which is a single blue Iris that I plan to put in my bouquet to remember my beautiful German/Spanish grandmother Iris (aka Lela.) I hadn't picked out a veil or head piece yet when she mentioned that she had a head piece that she wore on her wedding day in safe keeping. I instantly agreed and thought it was a perfect choice for Something Borrowed. I'll reveal it all after the wedding! ;)

Happy Scatterday!

You know, it's amazing what hanging out with girlfriends will do. 

Last night I hung out with one of my sweetest and most fucking hilarious friend, Chase. We had such a blast, (well, at least I did!) going to the movies and catching up on life. We saw the movie The Words, which I knew for a fact the Boy wouldn't appreciate.. and I still think he would have been poking his eyeballs out, and then had some drinks at the house and chatted it up like it's 1999. Needless to say, I woke up in desperate need of caffeine.

Hope you all have a productive weekend! Or not, your choice. 

Now to get my rear in gear!

P.s: Movie was good, kinda of like Inception in a way but not. Great review, right?

 Uh-huh..

Wedding Bouquet Inspo

(not me, but I loved the uniqueness of the bouquet!)

Oh P.S: I found my dress!!!!
