Hello, Winter

I'll give you three hints where I'll be heading off to tomorrow to spend an entire week!

Winter just showed its pretty little face there last night. That's fine, my shoveling muscles needed some exercise.

 

There's no high-speed Internet there which means I'll be catching up on some good reading and movie watching.

The best pup in the world lives there and is waiting my arrival.

Yup, you guessed it! This will be my backyard for a whole week and I couldn't be more excited. Just when I was getting used to the 60 degree winter we've been having here in Jersey, I'll now be snuggling up with cozy blankets and our wood stove on the farm! Can't wait.

 

Of course that means it'll be a little quiet around here for a week but I'm sure I'll be poppin' in over on facebook so feel free to visit and stay a while!

I hope you lovelies all have a wonderful weekend!

 

DIY Shell Stirrers

If you're wondering what to do with all those shells and skewers you have laying around, then you'll love this DIY I created over on True Event. And if you're a destination or oceanside bride, then you'll love it even more!

Go ahead, check it out. I dare you. And then feel free to make your favorite island cocktail to try out the shell stirrers!

 

Ribbons + Tissue Paper Poms Forever

Stop whatever you're doing and head to 100 Layer Cake to check out all the pretty behind Ruth + Ed's magical Maine wedding.

With happy colors like bright turquoise, pink and yellow, their wedding soars straight to the tippy top of my list.

Who wouldn't want to escape to their own little world surrounded by heart balloons.

Obviously I die for these details.

If a roomful of turquoise chiavari chairs is a budget buster for you, then just rent two for you and your hubby! Or refinish two old chairs from a garage sale and paint them any fun color you like! Then you have two perfect keepsakes from your big day.

 

Ribbons + tissue paper poms forever. And dresser bars. And mason jars + pretty straws. 

Forever.

 

Downton Abbey Dreamin'

Do any of you lovelies watch Downton Abbey? Please tell me you do. 

We can talk all about it over here if you like, because holy cow, the finale was awesome. If you haven't jumped on the Downton train, you must do so. You can catch up on both of the seasons online and then thank me later.

In almost every episode, there's a scene where the ladies must go upstairs to dress for dinner with the help of their maids. Can you imagine? They come down wearing the finest frocks you've ever seen and it's really fun to see the styles change over the seasons. I decided if ever I was invited to attended a dinner at Downton Abbey, I'd wear this dress.

Totally inappropriate and way too revealing but I love it. Anything to make the Countess of Grantham squirm.

 

Milk Glass + Clementines

Enjoy the weekend, you beautiful people.

*Stirring Around*

I can't get enough of these free printable flags.

You had me at the confetti background.

Any cocktail with lavender in it is a friend of mine.

Rockin' a little neon tonight in honor of this little bit of inspiration.

Oh, why must you temp me?

I'll be spending some serious QT with my pup soon and I can't wait to try this DIY!

Who needs a vase when a tub will do?
