Pink, Red, Adorable.

As if all of the stores haven't thrown up pink and red hearted adorable-ness lately, here's some wedding fun for y'all to check out on this romantic holiday:

Nerdy love notes. You fog my spectacles. Genius.

Travel themed engagement photos are quickly becoming one of my faves.

There's something organically beautiful about ribbon streamers.

Cute little animated proposal.

How fun is inviting some flamingos to enjoy your big day?

Loving options for different stationary papers. So cute, elegant and fun!

Muppets + Proposals = Loving both this couple and their fun attitudes!

Super colorful and cute bachelorette party.

 Backdrops of sheer genius.

With all of the Will & Kate hype long gone, I still think this picture is pretty neat.

There's something about graphic designs on walls like graffiti that I just love.

A terrifying way to take the plunge into marriage.

Not sure where I am on the long vs. short wedding dress debate, but I would say 'I do' to the skirt of this dress.

Today, I Like Lists

11AM. The dog, Clyde, woke me up. Weather status: raining.
2PM. Hijacked Lori's TV to watch Disney Channel instead of PBS kids. Weather status: raining.
3PM. Ate Mac&Cheese lunch. Weather status: raining.
5PM. Parent's got home from errand running, tackled Clyde, and talked to my best friend, Laura, on the phone. Weather status: raining.
6:30PM. Still wishing I could walk outside without getting drenched. Weather status: raining.

Today's been a bit, well, wet. This has given me time to do some online looking though. If you're trying to stay dry and looking for some distractions: enjoy!

1. Blog find. todaysletters has such a cute writing style. Don't be surprised if you see their writing style surface here some day. It looks fun!
2. For some reason, I'm a big fans of owls lately. I'm not as big of a fan of dishes, but this dishtowel has a cute little owl on it.
3. This is a short wedding dress that I think is very lovely, but it wouldn't my final pick for a wedding. I'd definitely wear it for another occasion though.
4. Headpieces are something that are simply darling. This little headpiece I found at an etsy shop is such a great whimsical one.
5. Cristoph Niemann is a genius. He has a fantastic little blog on the NYTimes called Abstract City and does some really interesting artworks such as working with legos or cookie dough.
6. I haven't actually finished reading through this although it's been open in my tabs since before Christmas. I've watched the video though and read a little about it on another website. This muppets proposal has definitely got to be one of the cutest things ever.
7. There's a pledge out to buy handmade. I suggest purchasing these earrings because they are handmade and make me want to don a gown.
8. Interesting article on cheating and college. There's not really anything else to say. Or is there?
9. How cute is this photography sequence of all the adventures that a dreaming baby can have?

I'll leave you there to search on with your own adventures.

Winter Break

The school semester is over. That's pretty much all I care about right now. I've been enjoying some blog reading. It's been great to just relax, watch some TV and look at some pretty and unique things online.

I've run away back home for the break.

I wish my pancakes looked a bit more prehistoric.

Sometimes, I wish I had a mustache and a beard. Now I can!

This semester has come with lots of engagements and this ring is simply precious.

New store discovery: Madewell with a scarf I love and a jacket to die for!

It may be my love of travel, but globes have captured my heart.

twentysomethings.

A prison testimony a friend of mine sent me earlier this semester.

Officially obsessed with this super cute and fun wedding!

What a great use of space with this little "igloo" bookcase/room.

Bike thieves? No problem. Here's one way to keep your bike from being stolen.

That's enough for now. Heading out for some lunch and to wrap some presents.

Stephamiah!

Get ready for a photography intensive blog! After months of not having all the pictures edited from Stephanie and Jeremiah's wedding, I have finished! This was such a fun wedding and I'm incredibly happy for these two friends of mine. First, the rehearsal!

Excitement was in the air!

Maybe some nervous butterflies too?

Some preciousness....

And some fun dancing down the aisle after the rehearsal...

The next day started out with some getting ready and being silly
before the wedding commenced!
(Pictures are in no particular order, because I've got to make it to youth soon!)

Parabéns Rodrigo & Katie!

This picture has been taken from one of the Harrison's facebook pages. Today is their wedding day and I, along with the rest of our team, are incredibly excited about this and wish we could be with them for this celebration. I have never met Katie, although I do hope to meet her in the future whether it is on earth or heaven. Rodrigo was our translator from the Brazil trip and he is an awesome friend. I am incredibly excited to see where God will take these two adventurers in their lifetime. I'm praying for y'all! Congratulations! Parabéns!

Cascades of Ruffles

Somehow over this past semester, I've fallen in love with the way that ruffles well, ruffle. I love how they just cascade out. I did a little shopping around of some things that are cute and ruffly. Enjoy!

Probably the thing that born this love of ruffles in me was my XA fall formal dress. It is black lace ruffles. Gorgeous. I found this wedding dress, which I'm not in the need for a wedding dress in any way, but I think it's cute. It's from a cute little wedding shop on etsy called yourfairytalewedding. To clarify, I didn't search for a wedding dress with ruffles, I just typed "ruffles" into the main etsy search and this dress found me.

J Crew, I do love you. I love vests. I love ruffles. This is perfect.

I think my favorite ruffle-y things are from etsy shops. There's something about an independent designer/creator that makes my heart happy. Elizaandaxel is one of these shops. I love how the ruffle on this fades from color to color and the spontaneity of a ruffle of this luxurious beauty being on a tshirt.

Cascades of ruffles next to the sound of cascading water of a cool shower on a hot summer day sound like a peaceful moment straight from heaven. Urban Outfitters has this cute little shower curtain that I'm not sure why, but it captured my heart when I clicked across it.

This necklace would never adorn my neck because I'm not sure how it would look on me, but there's something about it that is simply elegant. This piece is also from an etsy store which called Cobblestone Lane. I wish I could see someone wear this.

This is probably one of the most adorable ruffled items. It's a hedgehog pillow! There's also several others on the etsy shop WinckNCrane. They are so fun!

Cascades of ruffles! Haha! Urban Outfitters carries four colors of these ruffles, but I really like the soft grey color pictured here. This bed looks so comfy. I kind of just want to curl up in it and take a nap! (Too bad I'm a horrible napper!)

I've seen several cute banners lately, but they are always themed. Themed banners are cute and I'm sure they serve a purpose but once the event is over, what do you do with that banner? Throw it in the back of a closet and forget about it? I love the simplicity and versatility of this simple white and ruffly banner at 31vintageroad. At this point, you should know it's a cute shop on etsy!

I said "Be back tomorrow" on the 3rd. It's the 20th. Close enough? Sure. My excuse? Well, I don't really have reliable internet at home, so I like places like Borders and Paradise Coffee that combine coffee and wifi. Brilliance. However, it's hard to get all I need to get done before they close.

Since we've talked last though, I passed the math test and failed the rest by a mere 2-6 points each. I don't really care though. I passed the math one and that's all that matters. Praise God!

Even more so, I have classes to take! :) Plus, I'll be a double major again soon! Spanish major, I miss you.

Now that I'm back in CS, I should be able to post more frequently, or as frequent as a college student on the go can. On that note, classes started today. Spring Break, come soon?

I can't keep this to myself. I have started to look at a lot of wedding related things since I know 31ish people that are engaged. (Yes, that is one of the most ridiculous numbers, I know.) This is a save the date from a blog called green wedding shoes. I absolutely adore it. Enjoy!
