Okay,  here it is. 

My wonderfully talented friend and photographer, Alena allowed me to be her assistant on this beautiful wedding.   There’s even more to it then you’re going to see here.  Many of the special details created for the wedding were made by the bride, herself.  It was such a beautiful day and as a result Alena was able to get amazing photos that really worked the sun light; which when turned to black and white just take your breath away. 

Here’s just a few of my favorites from the day:

Yeah, Erica made those cute little toppers.

Okay, are you ready for my favorite photo from the day? Here it is…

Make me want to run home and kiss my husband. I think I’ll do just that.

Have a great night, everyone.

I am sorry that I’ve been MIA this week.  I know I forwarned you all, but you must know that I didn’t abandon you for no reason.  I’ve been very sick for that past three days.  I am feeling better today, but I am still not at 100%. I even had to do homework for my classes while trying to sleep or rather, completely falling asleep for two-hour increments while trying to do my homework.

The wedding is coming up this week and boy have I been working, working, working to get the boutonnieres (they are going to match the belts for the girls) and car decorations done.  I found out last night that while sewing the flags I made to the last bit of ribbon, Amber’s sewing machine broke!  Such is planning a wedding.  But, the rehearsal is tonight and everything is coming together very nicely.  I can’t wait for you all to see the finished product.  We’re finishing up the belts tonight, I’m finishing the last boutonnieres tomorrow and the car decorations just need a sign. 

Wish us all luck tonight and I’m hoping to be back in full swing next week if I don’t crash and burn after Saturday.  Pray an extra special prayer for Chris and Amber this weekend.  They are leaving on Sunday morning for New York!  I’m so jealous and can’t wait to see pictures from their trip.

Oh, and I think I’ll have a post up for you later today from Erica and Daniel’s Wedding shot by the lovely, Alena.

Happy Thursday!

Happy Monday!

I need to apologize in advance for my lack of postings this week.  We’re all in a crunch here because Chris and Amber’s wedding is this Saturday.  I’m making decorations for the get-away-car, boutonnieres for the guys and it all needs to get done in the next few days.  I know I promised you a wedding this week and I’ll do  my best to post it, but I promise to get back into a full swing next week with some more DIYs for C&A’s wedding and all the usual good stuff.

By the way, here’s a picture of how our Halloween went.  How did your’s turn out?

This week’s photo is brought to you by Alena, a friend of mine and a co-worker/friend of Alex’s.   She captured, I mean asked, me to be her assistant at a wedding about a month ago and the shots came out fantastically.  This one is just a teaser.  I’ll be showing you the rest of the wedding next week.

Happy Friday!

Good Afternoon Ya’ll!  I’m posting late today, but I promise it’s worth it.

My beloved Anthropologie launched their first store in London.  Many were skeptical of the store actually being a hit because of all the Anthro-type stores already in existence in London.  I personally think that Anthropologie couldn’t have done a better job trying to stand out while still totally capturing the essence of London. 

And now, I just have an even better excuse to go out there.

Check out these gorgeous photos:

Okay, see all those beautiful sacs tied ever so nicely to those strings?  Look closer…

Yep!  Those are tea-bags, my friend.  Awesome!

Um, excuse me and hello!  Anthropologie is amazing.

Happy Thursday!

I am so happy to announce that Ruche finally has their dream office right in the heart of Fullerton, CA!  It’s a brilliant place and makes me totally jealous, but I’m happy for them.  Check it out!

Here is their post.

Happy Tuesday, Readers!

My apologies for not posting yesterday.  We got home extremely late on Sunday night and I felt like a truck hit me yesterday morning.  I ended up staying home from work but didn’t do much by the way of blogs at all yesterday because I wasn’t feel well until about 3:00 pm yesterday.   But, enough about me.  Let’s talk about Bono!

We had such an amazing time at the U2 Concert this weekend.  We woke up fairly early and headed down to the Rose Bowl around 10:00 am and arrive at our spot in line around 12:30 pm. 

Some people had been there since 5:30 am!  We waited and waited, but it was totally worth it when we got on the field, nearly 7 rows from the catwalk where Bono would be walking.  Here are some of my favorite shots from the day.  Enjoy!

Watch the GIANT Screen…

It’s moving!

Wow!

What a night.

Happy, Happy Friday!

This week’s Friday Photo is brought to you by Joy the Baker.  She made this amazing spice apple cake this week and I’m drooling over this picture of it.

It’s so very fall and it looks divine.  Check out the recipe, here.

I saw this cute little one-line-a-day journal, today and thought that I’d share with you while I’m on my lunch break.   This is such a great idea for the one-liner friend in your life.  You know who I’m talking about.  And it’s only $16.99 at ModCloth.

 Happy Thursday!

I’m not even sure what it was that I was googling, but I’m so thankful I was!  While a-googling, I happened upon Maisy Brown on Etsy.  Her clothing is so fabulous!  I’m not sure where I would be able to wear any of these amazing pieces to, but they sure are beautiful to look at:

Get inspired!
