I'm definitely on a kick right now... a white, lace, and eyelet kick! I am also a tad bit behind on outfit posts (please bare with me... wedding planning is on overload right now! t-minus 33 days and counting!!! EEEK!) So, this is from last weekend. Luke and I spent the day together shopping for paint (home renovations are already beginning... can't wait to make our first home really ours!) The flats were a recent purchase from ModCloth that I am OBSESSED with! They come in 3 other colors and I am contemplating buying another! 

I got this top last year from Gap, but never wore it... why I don't know... but I'm pretty notorious for buying things and sometimes letting them collect dust in the closet. (hence my overload on poshmark lately... We have no closet space in the new house OOPS!) I love the detailing on the edges and it was perfect for a casual Saturday.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend & thanks for reading!

Easter Tulle

Top: Old, loving this | Skirt: L Mae Boutique, similar | Wedges: Lulu's (almost sold out) | 

Sunglasses: Dior | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelet: J Crew Factory | Earrings: Tory Burch

Obsessed doesn't even explain my love for tulle. I could have a million tulle skirts and still not have enough. So, when deciding what to wear for Easter it was really a no brainer. Tulle and pink are a match made in heaven.

My wedges were a random find when perusing the Lulu's website. I had thought they would be perfect for an upcoming bridal shower, but decided to make them my easter shoes and pull a couple things out of my closet that hadn't been getting much wear. I love the styling of this shirt. I actually have it in two colors. I thought the pink was perfect for Easter.

I always seem to have a good hair day on days it doesn't matter and when big days come up: WHAM... bad hair day! This day was the worst. I have been struggling with my hair to keep it from getting super frizzy, no such luck on Easter. Woops!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sunny Days

Dress: Old Navy | Bag: Asos | Wedges: Shoedazzle | Watch: Michael Kors | 

Bracelet: J Crew Factory | Earrings: Francesca's, similar and on sale! | 

Sunnies: Shop Ruche | Nails: Sally Hansen, Barracuda

I've never been much of a Maxi girl... maybe a skirt here and there, but NEVER a dress. I'm 5'4" and typically when I wear maxis I feel less than 5'. I would kill for a couple extra inches so throwing something on that makes me look even shorter is a no go. This dress from Old Navy changed my mind. (very hard thing to do) The length is perfection for my height and even allows for wearing with flats. I love the print. (a cool blue is everything to me in the summer)

These wedges are on repeat for me. I found them on Shoedazzle and immediately thought of some amazing Tory Burch wedges I've been dying for... but wedding budgets don't exactly allow for that. I love the bows and now want them in the red color they are also available in. Coming in at $30 they were the perfect alternative to the designer version.

I'm so excited for Easter weekend, aren't you? 

Thanks for stopping by!

Just a quick post today. We spent Sunday touring the dogwood trails and obsessing over spring. It was absolutely beautiful! Too bad the forecast calls for freezing temps tomorrow. What the heck Mother Nature?

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Just Simple

Vest: Old Navy | Chambray: J Crew Factory | Belt: J Crew, similar | Shoes: old, similar |

Earrings: Baublebar+Anthropologie Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelet: J Crew Factory | 

Sunnies: Shop Ruche | Lip: Pink Neauvou

I live for simple, casual outfits. The dress and vest I am wearing here are the epitome of casual. We were in a pinch for time on Saturday when going to meet friends so I automatically reached for these to throw together a quick, pulled together look. The snake print heels just added a little extra touch.

What is your go-to look when your pressed for time?

Wedding Wednesday: Wedding Reception (take 2)

Welcome back to Wedding Wednesday! As I've stated before, my wedding planning situation hasn't been that of a "normal" bride. (whatever that is, right?) For that reason I've decided to share some details on yet another thing that sets us apart from the typical soon-to-be couples out there planning weddings right now... 

Luke and I are both from Tennessee. His family is also from Tennessee... for that reason we tend to spend most holidays with that side of the family. Just like every other gal out there though... I love my grandparents. They have always been my steadfast and what has always been there to keep me grounded. So having the wedding anywhere, but close to them would make absolutely no sense to me. 

My Nana and Pop are from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, but in the last few years made the move to Dover, DE for their permanent retirement spot. That is where we will be hosting our wedding and I am so excited I can barely contain myself. I know that may seem crazy, but my Nana and Pop are my home... I feel so much more at home in that area than I do in Tennessee... always have.

We do have an amazing support system here in Tennessee though, and asking them all to travel the crazy long distance to the wedding would be selfish. So we have decided to hold a welcome reception a few weeks after the wedding to allow a celebration with our loved ones here who cannot make it to the actual wedding.

Here comes the fun part: pictures! Our wedding is extremely nautical inspired, but that's not really going to work with what we are doing for the reception. We decided to have a backyard BBQ theme and needed something to coordinate for our invitations for the event.

My best friend Lori was kind enough to lend her services and snap these photos... she is kind of amazing despite not being a "professional"... you'd never know it by looking at the photos though! Rockstar I tell ya!

These photos also have some sentimental meaning. The truck we used is actually Luke's Dad's. It's a 1952 Chevrolet. He bought it went Luke was little and it wouldn't even run... he restored everything including the mechanics and here it is today a couple decades later. Fun fact: Luke can't drive it until he is 35... papa G is a little bit of a control freak with the Chev. 

We are still planning for this event and it will be even more DIY heavy than the actual wedding. I plan to continue these posts with decor details and how-to's leading up to the event. Stay Tuned!

Thanks for stopping by!

Top: Ann Taylor, sold out | Skirt: Old, similar here | Heels: Sole Society, similar | Clutch: Kslade Made, different color | Earrings: BaublebarXAnthropologie | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelet: J Crew Factory

Polka dots are perfection, especially when they come in navy! This skirt is an oldie I purchased from the Banana Republic outlet and it never fails me. Every time I wear it I just feel happier. The length is perfect and I love the white and gray color mix up in the pattern.

My Kslade Made clutch was a winter purchase, but I am still loving it paired with neutral outfits for a pop of color. The sunflowers... were just another addition to the fresh flowers in my house right now... I can't help it... Sad day= go buy some flowers and have a glass of wine. 

I'm not sure if it's the fact that our wedding is less than two months away or that I'm just wedding obsessed right now, but everything I do with my hair or decide to throw on has some sort of "bridal" feel to it. I'm not hating it though!

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to check out my last post. I've been getting tons of skin questions and wanted to share some answers!
