In honor of it being the 4th... I thought I would share a slightly patriotic look from our honeymoon. This was my favorite look from the trip. I wore this the day we took the bike ride from Oak Bluffs to Edgartown( ... I know what you are thinking... dresses and bikes don't mix... ) This really did though! The weather was so crazy from where you were right next to the water and then went into town to shop and eat probably a 10-15 degree temp difference. So I wore this with a coverup to ensure I wouldn't smolder when we arrived. The length of the dress and soft cotton material made it super comfy for a waterside cruise.

I bought most of my honeymoon clothes over the couple months leading up to the wedding. I did that to avoid having a major chunk of change to spend all at once. This dress from Asos was a must. I obsess over gingham anyway and with the great quality and price point I just couldn't pass it up. It is only available in the maternity version now, but with how the dress is already made I think that anyone could also get by with that one (just size down). 

My sandals were a splurge gift to myself before the wedding. I stopped on the way up in DC to grab some last minute wedding needs and decided this was the last time Luke wouldn't see the wallet damage from the trip to the mall and I just had to. I had been loving the wedge version of these for a while, but really needed more flat sandals. I was unsure of how I would like them, but once I tried them on I fell in love. Happy Wedding to me!

This was absolutely the best trip of my life, not just because this was on my top 5 list of places to go.... but because I was with my HUSBAND(!!!) and could finally relax!

Happy Fourth of July! Have a wonderful day and be safe!!!

I'm back! Finally! We can attest this to me finally having a day off and taking a minor break from wedding planning. Let me tell ya, I totally underestimated the amount of time it would take from my life. Glad to be back though... and finally sharing what I wore to a good friend of mine's wedding in Asheville a couple weeks ago. (Told you I was behind)

It was the weekend after my birthday and I had taken a day off earlier in the week to honestly clear my mind and get some things done for the wedding. I ended up making that a  spa day and getting a mani, pedi, and blowout. That's what birthday girls should do though, right?

When I was at the salon, I popped over to their in house boutique to see what they had in stock. This dress immediately popped out at me. I loved the floral print and immediately thought of these shoes to throw the look together. It was perfect for the wedding on Saturday. We had a bit of a hike from the ceremony to the reception and I can't imagine how I would have managed with anything heavier. I found a great dupe and Charlemont offers phone orders if this dress is still in stock. 

I hope you are having a wonderful day and thank you so much for reading. I appreciate you baring with me through this very busy time in my life! Looking forward to a blissful summer as a newlywed with much more time on my hands!

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!
