Our Wedding: Inspiration vs. Reality


Happy Anniversary to us!
Three years ago today I married my best friend and love of my life :) It has been a crazy insane and super eventful three years and I wouldn't trade them for anything!
A while ago, I wanted to compare the planning vision I had for our wedding and how it ended up coming together. The inspiration pictures I used in this comparison were ones I actually gathered while we were wedding planning and most of our wedding photos were taken by SixFourteen Photography.

Stumbling Across our Wedding Online

While preparing one of my posts that will be coming up later in the week, I randomly came across some of our wedding photos on a blog called, Wed Loft. They were used in a post about featuring black lace in weddings. It's always super exciting and flattering to know that someone else was inspired by something you did :)

Window Shopping for Art

Last Friday, I spent the day perusing Etsy for art pieces to add to my collection. Before I knew it the whole day had gone by and I had dozens of pieces I wanted. It took the weekend for me to narrow down which ones I would buy and also to ruminate on the idea of creating some of my own inspired on the ones I love. Her are just a few of my favorites...

Purchase History: April 2013

So April was all about buying more stuff for our Evacuation kit and our Summer trip. I also finally bit the bullet and bought a "new to us" iPod to replace Luke's old one that got stolen a couple years ago. Since the radio stations down here suck, I was going crazy not being able to listen to any new music. So now I was able to get my old iPod back and Luke could customize his to the music he likes. Win Win :)

My Take on 50 for a Fashionista

So in no way do I claim to be a Fashionista but I do enjoy identifying my own personal fashion sense. I recently came across Chic Street Style's post on 50 for a Fashionista. I enjoyed reading through her list of must-haves and decided to share my commentary on the list ;)
