wedding wednesday: shower worship

so i'm currently a busy bee working on some big fun for the ash's shower in early june.

nothing inspires me more than this girl scout photo shoot by beau & arrow events.  

the ash is no girl scout {obvs} but the gorgeous look & feel & absolute whimsey of the event is what i aspire to achieve.   seems that everything the fabulous ladies at beau & arrow design is in line with my dream aesthetic {ahem, as i find myself repinning almost ALL of their pins.}  these ladies rock!  {oh and apparently they have a soft spot for frenchies, too.  WOR-SHIP.}

okay, i simply cannot gush enough -see for yourself.

someone please call 911. i'm DY-ing over this dessert table!

and be sure to head to their blog for every last glorious detail.

wedding wednesday: best day ever

okay, if any of you have read this blog in the last couple months, you may have caught on that i have recently become "re"obsessed with weddings.  i was OOC when planning my own to horsey 7 years ago,  and now as I help the ash, in the age of pinterest and etsy and a zillion fabulous wedding blogs, it's a whole new dangerously all-consuming game.

our pinterest board for the ash's big day has been titled 'best.day.evah.' so you can only imagine my swoon level when i stumbled upon lilia & ryan's palm springs wedding on 100 layer cake.

every. last. deet. oozing with personality.

teal & gold - you may be seeing some of that come october.

ADLER.  i die.

too bad the bride is so unattractive or this could have been a cool wedding. . . joking. obvs.  she's gorge!

head to 100 layer cake for even more glorious deets &  images from photographer sean flanigan.

hey, lilia & ryan, you guys nailed it!  i'll totes give you 'best day ever' award. . . until october 6th.

wedding wednesday: yellow

i know my posts have either been non-existent or lame this week {ahem. . . bunny plates} but this glorious march weather is making it very difficult to focus on much more than the sunshine itself.

j'adore this fun yellow inspiration shoot by capital romance.

fun nails!

love-love the cardi, bright belt, and ruffles.  obvs.

much to charlotte's chagrin- there will be no yellow on the ash's big day . . . except for hopefully the sun - oh, and how could i forget?  Yellow! one of hands & the ash's pups.  much more on beauties- Black & Yellow . . . soon.

oh, happy day!

boxers or briefs?

horseface's birthday gifts were fairly unimaginative this year.  i'm still creatively tapped from Christmas.  but he seemed pleased with his new duds.  he's not exactly "designer jeans guy" but I love these AGs on him.  he was excited about the blundstones, too.  and obvs he was over the moon over the framed picture {totes kidding, he could care less about that shiz}  but I worship the images from the ash's wedding from white loft studio and this is one of my very faves.  sneaky heidi caught us holding hands under the table.  love.

frenchie friday: wedding dress

so i've been looking forward to this since we were lil girls.  we are going wedding dress shopping this weekend for the ash.  to say i've been obsessing is an understatement.

if y'all are interested i'll post a full report on monday.  the ash would look gorge in a paper bag so i'm anticipating some true ridiculousness when she dons an actual wedding gown.

anyhoot, it's frenchie friday so here ya go!

swoon.

hey ashy, mind if i bring loo and/or george to l'elite with us?  i think they would look stunning {really} next to an oscar de la renta.

happy weekend!

frenchie friday: party hat

it's time to put our party hats on . . .

even tho the weather doesn't look like it's going to cooperate tomorrow, we will still wear our {figurative} party hats and celebrate the ash!

i hope the hat matches my sassy pants.

holla!

cannot wait.

have a glorious weekend!

tibi time

feeling fortunate that i stumbled upon the tibi sample sale this past weekend.

adorbs.

love this color.

i worship this printed dress.  have a vision of wearing this at ash's rehearsal.  the color combo i want is sold out. . . so not sure if she'll ever be mine but time will tell.

the good news is that this beauty shipped this morning.  the plan is to wear it to the ball.  i don't love it quite as much as last year's dress . . .

but it was on ridic sale so i couldn't resist.  

do you love-love or not so much?

frenchie friday: handsome devil

as you may have caught on by now, i'm in full throttle wedding obsessed mode since the ash-gagement.

every now and then, while scouring wedding sites and pinterest, i come across my other obsession, frenchies.  {obvs} 

 like this guy.

george was born on our wedding day or i would have had his mug in all the pics.  yup, when we watch our wedding video {once every 5 years}  i tell jorge that was the day he was born in true creepster dog-lady fashion.

happy weekend!

slacking. . . again

obvs.

i am so sorry i've been MIA.  i didn't fall of space mountain.   we did have a big fun disney trip, many more deets to follow {horseface might have a slightly different opinion} 

then i got wrapped up in a photo shoot, which went down yesterday,  for my new {ad}venture.  cannot wait to share!

AND i took on a juice cleanse this week.  

aaaaaand today, i'm warding off this yuck weather so i can go meet the ash on a girl's weekend someplace where wintry mix is off the radar.  wish me luck!

wanted to check in quickly and say i'll be posting again next week {ahem, slacker}

thanks for your patience.  and happy weekend!

xoxo

desperate tuesday

i have a gazillion things to do while the wee ones are at school but this rainy weather inspired me to curl up with george and loo and do a bit of work from home . . . while watching desperate.

i'm well aware that i am one of the last peeps on the planet that watch this show and i'm not afraid to admit that i am totes sad to 'kiss them goodbye'.  {but i'm in great company- love you kate and ash}

i know it's a long shot but do you still watch? are you a bree, lynette, susan or gabi?

i worship them all, mainly gabi.  but i'd have to say i'm more of a susan  . . . mostly because she always falls.  obvs.

happy rainy tuesday!

the ash-gagement

you found him-  

happiness abounds.
