Fashion Disaster

Since Fall is coming any day now (yay my favorite season) I dug out my pair of not quite knee high boots. Now, I think I may have worn these boots twice in the few years I have had them so they are in great shape, I just have no clue what to wear them with! My fiance thinks they are cowboy boots which no, they are not, they are Seychelles brown leather boots I got from Anthropologie. They do have the chunkier wood heel and the metal rings on the sides which I suppose makes them slightly "cowboy." They are too tight to tuck jeans into so that is out, I suppose I have to wear them more slouchy.

PLEASE HELP! Or should I just sell them to someone who might get more use out of them, they definitely have that Anthro/Urban Outfitters vibe which I love but in reality doesn't work so well on me.

Sharing is Caring...

I promise I will spill the details of our caterer once everything is finalized. I don't want to jinx it. Florist is still in the works so if you have any recommendations for Chicago area I would love to hear them!

More Productivity!

We created a Google Map for our honeymoon, the more we add the more excited I am.

SO Happy!

Success! We found our caterer, we are so excited. The food was great, we were blown away by the service and attention to detail and are thrilled. I can't tell you how glad I am to have that decision out of the way. I suppose flowers and invites are the next big ones but a little break is in order.

And the other good news? My poor mom has one less sewing project, they actually had table runners in a color we liked, "citron."

Fresh, Simple Flowers

So we have narrowed down our flower inspiration, all of these pictures were found on the Knot, MS Weddings, and the fab wedding of Brooklyn Bride. The fiance thought a lot of the other pics I had chosen looked "too fairy-ish" or "looks like a salad," gotta love it, so I am glad we were able to agree on some!

The Big Time

We have a busy, exciting week coming up! Flower meeting on Wednesday and tastings on Thursday, I am ready to get some of these big decisions out of the way.

Sadly, my awesome week is sightly ruined due to the root canal I have to have tomorrow but I suppose that is technically still this week. Seriously - go to the dentist. Don't feel bad for me because it is my own fault for putting off going to the dentist. Well actually, this would have happened regardless due to something from 10 years ago, but still, go! I now know an awesome one if you want a recommendation.

Enough of my PSA...we also signed our DOC! Yay! It was a hard choice because I talked to so many great DOC's (e-mail me if you want more info) but we are really happy with our choice.

It seems big time for a lot of other bloggers right now too. Tara is just starting to post her gorgeous pics and I can't wait to see more of Natalie's wedding (they both look AMAZING), Molly and Tina are getting so close, Darci this weekend and Jessica Lynn in just a week, seriously exciting!!

Woo hoo, Something Accomplished!

So if you recall a million posts ago I was thinking of places for our rehearsal dinner. We spent a very, very rainy day checking out Oak Park and we have a winner. Funny enough all three comments on that post recommended Winberies (thank you!) and that is the place we are going with. No private room but we loved the food and the manager was SO nice and helpful. We can't wait!

A - MAZ - ING

When I saw this on Once Wed Blog I think my jaw may have dropped, how gorgeous are these candy/dessert buffets, I hope ours turns out this nice!








P.S. Drink flags/cupcake flags shouldn't be that hard to make, what am I doing wrong?? So far that idea has gone out the window, I am a bit sad about it. Maybe there is still some hope...

P.S.

GG was amazing the other night.
P.P.S. yes I am still too old to be watching it.

Yes, Please.

So I want these, but not letters, numbers, and not for $21.00 each but for more like $5 or $6 each.
