Girly bathroom

As we can see from past posts, I am completely 100%, head-over-heels in love with anything Anthropologie. When I saw this tiered shower curtain, I just about died. How beautiful and girly!

Unfortunately, it is not for sale any more. But not to worry my dear friends, because I found a tutorial! If you're super crafty and want to take this up, let me know how it turns out. I'm anxious to do one myself!

Accessorizing

How fun is this necklace?! What a great way to accessorize with a solid color t-shirt and jean shorts.

Conscience-mixed media

I am just loving this mixed media on wood panel by retrowhale. The pieces are so unique and different! I would be proud to display this in my home. And what a great idea to do in 3's!

Was on vacation!

I have been slacking so bad on the blogging front! I very much apologize. I went out of town at the end of last week for a beach vacation/birthday trip. Had a blast! Pictures to follow! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Fall Fashion

Fall is my absolute favorite season. So of course when the new fall clothing lines premiere I just get too excited. Here are a few of my favorite pieces that I'm dreaming will find their way into my new walk-in closet.

but I am a huge boot fan, and these lovelies just went to the top of my list)

Dreaming of a Wedding

Lately, the boy and I have been talking a lot about marriage. We're really crossing our fingers we can make it work next year. I get giddy just thinking about it and the possibilities. However, the thought of spending all that money kills my excitement. The things that I'm oooing and aaahhing over are just way too expensive for us. I am completely in love with photography by Tec Petaja (his work is absolutely breathtaking) and set styling by Joy Thigpen (I mean, whoa! So beautiful). But Tec's base packages are around 5k and Joy typically works with weddings that are a minimum of 50k. All those numbers just make me sad.

I'm trying to contact an acquaintance of my mother, hoping we can hold the wedding in their backyard. Wouldn't it be so fantastic if I could get things donated? I have this dream of having such a beautiful beautiful wedding, but since I'll be paying for it myself, it will be a little difficult. Any wedding people want to do some pro-bono work?!

Isn't this so beautiful? To think, it's made with wax paper! What a great idea. Check out the tutorial.

Isn't this the sweetest little mailbox you've ever seen? What a great idea.

Chocolate Croissants


I've been missing France pretty bad lately. The 3 months I was there I had quite a bit of chocolate croissants. So to cure my french-home-sickness, I think I'll bake some chocolate croissants soon.

Ingredients
1 8-count tube refrigerated crescent rolls
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped semisweet chocolate

Directions
1. Heat oven to 375° F.
2. Unroll the dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Place about 10 chocolate chips on the bottom third of each triangle and roll the dough up around the chocolate.
3. Transfer the croissants to a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper, if desired, for easier cleanup). Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Bike riding.

Isn't this skirt just beautiful? And while riding a bike! I'm impressed.


Awesome wedding video

Max & Margaux's wedding has been well documented all over the wedding world. And rightfully so. It is beautiful. Just beautiful. You can see parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 over at Once Wed, but I just had to post this video. I love the dancing feet.
