The LOVE Card

So, I love cards. i think they are a great way to send a kind hello, show gratitude, and say congrats!! Well...I love these new eco-chic cards from madebygirl. I think they are adorable and here's a few of my favorites!!

I'm Obsessed...

with just about everything from this blog post. It could possibly be everything I want in the color purple for a wedding. But right now, its my inspiration. I thought I would forward it on to share!

Here's the link! And Here's Part II!

the Bolero...

So, I'm so excited that the wedding is only about 8 months away...This sounds like FOREVER...but I know it won't be long!! And more than the wedding, I'm just excited about Mr. Fabulous and I being in the same town again!! Woohoo.

When the mom and I went to look at the reception venue back in March, it was one of those freakishly cold days where the wind was flying around at 50 mph and it was just dark and dreary and about 40 degrees. So, that is about what I"m expecting for the wedding. And a few flurries to add to the ambiance would be nice...

Now, I'm sure this isn't what I'm supposed to be talking about when Summer is here, but I'm just dreaming. With that being said...it's going to be very cold with a strapless dress in January -- so should I opt for the bolero jacket look, or just go without and wear his jacket by the end of the night??

Luncheon Table Setting

So, I'm always on the lookout for great ideas for a luncheon. Whether it be for a work lunch, ladies lunch, or a shower luncheon...this idea would be great.

Click the picture for more information on how to create this great look. Its from the ladies at casasugar.com

Blogspiration

It's gone. I have no inspiration today. It's terrible. Hopefully I will have something for tomorrow.

As for me...I need to catch up on sleep, laundry, and cleaning. That's my focus today.

However, over the weekend, I tried on wedding dresses, and I MAY have found the winner!! And we picked out our wedding rings yesterday! YAY!!

Ultra Fabulous Photographer

Well, when Mr. Fabulous and I were first discussing the date of the wedding he knew one thing from me...no summer. However, I have huge crushes on all other seasonal weddings. If I had the chance to get married in March-May, I would most definitely go with a bright green, white, and black color scheme. I discovered today on the Chic Florals & Events blog (which is one of my favorites) a beautiful, classy wedding with these colors. So, I decided to forward on some of the great pictures from it! Enjoy! The photography was done by Sweet Monday Photography.






Plus, they did day after portraits in front of this fabulous pink wall. I'm not sure it could get much better than this!

Blogspiration

Well, Sorry for the lack of blogspiration yesterday. I've been struggling to find great inspiration. However, I am super excited about this holiday weekend, and wanted to kick off a great day of blogging with this fabulous recipe. Its from the blog of sweet paul and its a Tiramisu ice cream. I am totally ready for summer, and this treat makes me want this holiday to come even faster.


Because it is the day before a holiday, I will be posting alot today!! Keep checking back!

Please let me know if you see anything fabulous and let me know. I'd love to 'feature' it on the blog ;). Just e-mail me at jordan_b_jones@yahoo.com

RunPee.com

Well, I am definitely the girl that orders popcorn and a HUGE Diet Coke at the movie theater. But you don't think about how many times you will have to go to the bathroom when you order it!!

So, I'm super excited that this website exists. It's called RunPee.com. It tells you the best time in the movie for a potty break.

I love this. Check out their website here!!

Pink Headband - and other ramblings

Well, in my quest for all things fabulous, I stumbled upon this great headband from etsy. It channels Katy Perry and Blair Waldorf all at the same time! Yes! I think I could totally rock it...


And on a lighter note, I tried Pizza Hut's Pastas today....and on a scale of 1-10, I give a lasagna/meaty marinara a 5, and the chicken alfredo a 7. Plus, it comes with breadsticks. I'll give you the full review tomorrow after Sara and I have it again for dinner tonight. You know its a great food after you re-heat it. hah.


I know I talk about all things fabulous on here, and I think a fabulous attitude is one of the most important things ever. Here in my office, I truly like everyone here. But, I feel that some of them don't enjoy life anymore. I learned that a simple question such as 'how has your day been going' can make a huge difference in someone's life. A smile and authenticity can go a long way. At the end of the conversation, she seemed so happy, and said "thanks for asking," as if most people don't even ask her the time of day.

Now, normally I spend my time talking about weddings and expensive shoes, but today - please go out of your way to genuinely ask someone about their day. It can speak volumes for your character and your witness.

(by the way, I looked for a really good picture to go with this message...nope. they were all cheesy. dangit)

Thats all for now! Toodles!

Lauren Conrad Wrote A Book!!!

Well, as most of you know, I have a huge girl-crush on Lauren Conrad. I want her hair, and her wardrobe, and maybe her bank account. Either way, she's adorable.

She totally has written a book!! I'm impressed. HERE is the link to the excerpt. Can she write, or should she stick to fashion??

I think I'd read it...

The Color Palette

So, while taking my daily trip to Style Me Pretty, I found a post that talks about one cohesive color scheme, and in this instance, purple. They loved the purples, but they infused different shades of the color, and it worked so well. In this case, each bridesmaid had a different bouquet. I think this idea is awesome!! How cool would it be if everyone had different bouquets...

What do you think, love it or hate it?



AAANNNNDDDDD...I'm going to try on wedding dresses!! Next Monday!! Soo excited. I officially have an appointment and everything! And while I'm still in the pink vs. purple debate, I think I'm finally deciding on a route and I have the bridesmaids dresses picked out. But I'm going to wait and reveal all that after I try on dresses.

However, if you want answers sooner, you can always bribe me with one my favorite etsy products!!

The Tiffany Cake

So, I ran across a 'couture' wedding cake strait from Oklahoma. And I think it went strait to any girl who has ever seen Breakfast at Tiffanys....

It Exists!!

For anyone who has ever questioned the existence of Telephone, TX, Here's proof!!



Follow THIS link to see downtown Telephone, and it just so happens that the place its at is the rehearsal dinner site!!

So....

I really, really, really, really really want these....
And these....


And I found them on this website where they only cost about $275. The question is, is it legit???

Mockingbird Bridal SAMPLE SALE

So I'm super excited to announce that next MONDAY I am officially going wedding dress shopping. And I found out that there is a Sample Sale at Mockingbird Bridal ON Memorial Day. YESSSS!

If there are any other places you think I should go to, please let me know!!

And, for all of those who know me, and how picky at EVERYTHING I am...please keep me in your prayers. And pray for the sanity of the mom and the sister. It's going to be a rough, long day for them.

Now, I'm not sure if I can fit into a Sample dress, because they are normally in 6-8-10, and i'm not any of those...I will be rediculously strict with my diet this week. I love encouragement!!

Okay, enough exclamations for this post, more later!
