Ok, you can forget about what I said yesterday. I like this one. And really, I think it all comes down to the hair bow. Now I know - if I’m not feeling super great about an outfit, just add a bow. It makes everything better :)
tee: Modcloth
skirt: Urban Outfitters, Buffalo Exchange
bow: handmade
booties: Target
I’m feeling just kinda - eh - about all of the outfits I am putting on lately. I don’t necessarily hate them, but I don’t super love them either. I’m in a little rut, and I blame it on this gross weather we had this past week. Hopefully the upcoming sunshine will bring new inspiration. And hopefully a peek back at a few of my most favorite outfits from the past couple of weeks will help too. I guess we will see tomorrow if it works :)
Sooooo, we are now only a month away from the wedding. Eek! It is getting down to the wire, and I’m busy working on all the final little details. It seems there is new project to get done every day. A couple of the recent ones include spray painting sunglasses for the bridal party, and sewing up the cutest little flower girl outfit I’ve ever seen (if I do say so myself). Up next - signs, handmade lawn games, favor jars, escort cards, and tissue paper poms. Now, who wants to come help?
As I mentioned yesterday, we had the pleasure of attending a Boston Pops concert on saturday with a couple of friends. But it wasn’t just any Pops concert - it was The Pops featuring guest conductor John Williams. Ya know, the famous conductor, John Williams. Famous for Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Jaws, Superman, Indiana Jones, the Olympics, and so many more. It was absolutely fantastic.

You guys, this weekend was pretty great. For as rainy and cold and gloomy as it was, it was awesome. Lets see here - we picked up our wedding bands, found what will be our new apartment (yay!), saw John Williams guest conduct The Boston Pops, used our new pasta maker to make homemade pasta, aaaand ran errands and finished a few small wedding projects. Phew. All that in one rainy weekend! You can chalk that one up as a success, my friends.

**P.S - that awesome photo of me and Boo was taken by our friend Corey.**
He has an amazing camera and took some amazing pictures the night of the concert. And I didn’t. So I took a picture of a picture instead. ‘Cause thats how I roll.
A while ago, the adorable Erica of Sweets and Hearts contacted me about my love of all things bows. You see, she loves bows too. So what do two bow lovers do? We swap. I sent her one of my bow necklaces, and she sent me this sweet hair bow.
One can never have too many bows.

In other news, I picked this top up at last month’s Fiesta Swap. Bam. I’m rockin the swapped items today, and loving it.

I had the most amazing bridal shower this past weekend! Boo’s sister, Amy, came up with sewing/crafting/fashion theme, which couldn’t have been more perfect. She helped out with some decor, My sister made some of her deliiiiiicous cake pops, and my Aunt hosted and took care of everything else. It came together better than I could have ever imagined, and I’m very thankful for everyone for making this happen. Thank you guys!
p.s - This post is a little bit more picture heavy than usual. You’ve been warned.
p.p.s - photos taken by either me, or my bridesmaids Allison and Ashlee. (see, told you guys I’d give you credit)

Here’s a casual Memorial Day Weekend outfit for you all. Ta-daaaaaaaa.

I know its technically still the long weekend. But seeing as I am spending all of today in a car any way, I thought I’d go ahead and jump right into sharing this weekend’s photos.
Boo and I headed back out to Buffalo for the holiday. There were a lot of the usual Memorial Day weekend activities, including lawn games, cook-outs, bonfires, star gazing, and ice cream trips. And then we finished off the weekend with the most amazing bridal shower eveeeeeeer. But I’ll have more on that later this week :)
(p.s - I stole that last photo from my friend Amanda. Thanks Manda!)
