Five months from today, Corey and I will become Mister and Misses. I can hardly wait!

Happy Weekend!

This week was a funny one. Every day felt like Friday… except today! I don’t know how that works, but either way I’m super excited for the sunny weekend ahead. Corey and I are planning on going on our first hike of the season on Sunday, getting massages tomorrow and hosting an Oscar party Sunday evening! Busy, but lots of fun ahead! Hope you all have fun things planned and you’re enjoying sunshine wherever you are!

Anthropologie Launches Wedding Brand

Word in the blogosphere is Anthropologie is launching a wedding brand "complete with wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, jewelry, shoes, lingerie, invitations, decorations, gifts--the whole shebang." Hmm.. Considering my love of all things Anthro I can't help but feel I'm missing the boat a bit. Hopefully one of my beautiful friends will utilize this sure-to-be-amazing new resource someday in the future!

Blushing Bride

There is something about this bride that caught my attention. Her dress is so beautiful, fits her so well, and she just looks so absolutely, genuinely happy. She really looks like a blushing bride, like she's glowing with sheer bliss. And that last picture is priceless!

P.S. I never get sick of the sparkler exit!!

Portland Love

The sun was shining today and Corey and I took advantage and strolled through our downtown neighborhood before the sun set. Spring is a beautiful time in Portland and it's right around the corner. After the grey, rainy winters, I always fall madly back in love with this city each Spring... Here are some photos of my gorgeous city, just for fun.

Bragging Rights

Carrie Underwood was recently spotted wearing a Rip Curl dress my sister designed! I'm so proud of her and just wanted to take a quick moment to share the photos and brag a little bit :) You can check out more photos here.

Cardigan Envy

Living next door to Anthropologie is no easy task. I've been pining after this cardigan for months now... Yes, months. Good for me! But as spring weather approaches (we're expecting highs in the 60s and sun this weekend!!!), I can't stop envision myself walking around our neighborhood (gelato in hand) in this cardigan paired with some flats and skinnies. Tell me that's not the most perfect casual (yet super cute) outfit for a sunny Sunday walk?! Ah. The temptation is killing me...

Honeymoon Outfit Inspiration

In preparation of Spring, Coco+Kelley posted this perfectly light and bright ensemble. For me, it’s great inspiration for a honeymoon outfit. Can’t you see me walking around exploring the island in these chic and easy pieces? It won’t come soon enough!

DIY Yarn + Twig Dandelions

Oh my goodness, these DIY yarn and twig dandelions are so adorable! And they actually look pretty easy to make! 

Bridal Shower Inspiration Board

Just for fun (and because I'm a total nerd), I made an inspiration board for the way I envision my bridal shower. Clearly, I want it to be pink... But not cheesy. More feminine, fun and sweet. I imagine burlap tablecloths, cute pink/white/yellow flowers and fun pink desserts!
