Ok, its no secret. I loooooove Etsy. I can already spend hours browsing through all the amazing handmade and vintage goodies. But my newest obsession is the wedding category. And I’ve become fixated on this carnival/ circus theme. So I thought I would share some favorite Etsy carnival wedding items I’ve come across:
1. Drink Me Straws by pinkcherrymama
2. Ringmaster Wedding Invitation by Must Love Pink

This little number happens to be the second dress Kathryn of Kitsune-kun sent my way. So pretty, right? And I’m loving the subtle ombre effect going on. I don’t have much green in my closet, and I actually felt pretty spring-y wearing it. Like I was fitting in with all the new green grass and trees finally sprouting up everywhere. Oh! And look at that, I even have hints of florals too (my belt is floral even though you can’t see, as well as my shoes). Now if only I had a fancy little garden party to attend…. I’d fit right in!
Don’t forget tohead on over to Kitsune-kun to see how Kathryn styles my items!

This week I will be swapping a few items with Kathryn of Kitsune-kun. First up - this adorable yellow dress! I could not wait to get my hands on this thing. When I first saw Kathryn wear it, I absolutely fell in love. Sunshine yellow! Tie dye! bows! Seriously, where can I get one of these babies?
Its a bit wrinkly. But after a horrible, horrible incident with one of the other swapped dresses ( and my worst nightmare), I didn’t dare try to iron it. Note to self: don’t ever, ever attempt to iron another persons clothing while in your possession again. It will end in disaster. ( Soooooo sorry again Kathryn :( ).
So, yeah. After my meltdown, this outfit was actually worn for mine and Boo’s 6 year anniversary on saturday. It involved a picnic lunch, seeing Water For Elephants (which I enjoyed), and a yummy steak dinner at The Palm. Mmm Mmm Mmmmmm.

I wore this out thursday for an afternoon of shopping. It wasn’t the best trip. I was looking to get some new shoes, but came back with none. But I guess thats what online shopping is for :)

blazer: Express
shoes: Blowfish

My posts are all sorts of crazy out of order. This is actually what I wore Thursday when we drove home. I was originally going to try and save this post (I have something pretty cool lined up soon), but I couldn’t help it.
When I spotted this skirt at Goodwill, I literally squealed. BEST.FIND.EVER. It may be hard to tell, but those are little zebras all over it. I’m a sucker for anything with safari animals on it.
tee: Express
skirt: thrifted
bag: THEIT
belt: H&M
heels: Forever21

These shoes may not be the best paring for this dress. But I was in desperate need for some comfort. We had our engagement party earlier this day, and I wore my polka dot tights and Chanel flats with this dress. But when we got done, it was so warm out, and my feet were killing me from a very bust past few days. So I figured it would be a good time to debut my new Toms. Everyone was right - they are soooooo comfy! Exactly what my feet needed :)
dress: H&M
shoes: Toms
Just thought I’d share this quick. While we were home this past weekend, we booked our wedding venue! Woohoo!

What really sold me was the ceremony location- a japanese garden. How cool is this?! So excited :)

So I was home again this past weekend for the second time this month. We booked our venue, had our engagement party (and I didn’t take any pictures. whoops), went to the casino for my birthday, and painted my face for the sabres game. For some reason, I’m horrible at taking outfit photos when I’m home. Even though I have all my stuff to do it. Sorry about that. I do have one more, but I haven’t gotten around to editing them yet. But, as last time, heres a few other photos from the weekend:
traveling in style / card games with the family
brother is hilarious during Sabres games / tacos for my birthday dinner!
bunny birthday cake! / scenery at home
heading into Canada for a little birthday gambling / Sass-a-frass checking out my outfit photo session
Sorry I don’t have a cute easter sunday outfit to show you. This is actually what I looked like on sunday. In our neck of the woods, a hockey playoff game trumps most everything.
Oh, Hey! Sorry for being MIA again, but I’m on my way home now and everything should be back to normal soon. I have so many posts in my Bloglovin’ to catch up on, and a few posts that I need to put together for you guys myself.
But today you can find me over at Rochelle Approved with a post on 3 ways to wear neon. Heres a sneak peak:
How could you not wanna go check it out now?

Hey- Its my birthday! Woot Woot! I accept gifts in the form of shoes and money :)
Anywho, it was a pretty laid back birthday. We did view our first venue for the wedding (and booked it!!!!! yay!). Next on the list was lunch with my momma and Boo, visiting some family, and then my momma made me the dinner of my choice - tacos. Of course. I love tacos. Now… just relaxing and watching the Sabres game (duh). Simple, but I like it.
Oh, and happy Earth day!
P.S - it was sooooo cold when we took these pictures. Can you tell?:
