Vote!

Attention all people everywhere! My bestest oldest friend in the world needs your vote!

About a month ago, I told Shannon that she should enter to win this Dream Love Shoot from Green Wedding Shoes thanks to photographer Caroline Tran. Her and her husband Scott have the cutest story ever – doesn’t hurt and Andy and I helped set them up =) Anways, they have the best funky style and the biggest hearts and they need your vote – so check it out here and vote Shannon +Scott all day long =)

Their story:
We were married August 21, 2009 among our closest family and friends at my grandparents ranch. Our wedding was perfection, just the perfect weather, wonderful people, and a whole bunch of dancing to celebrate our love. We met back in 2007 through mutual friends and became an official couple a few months after meeting and married a little over a year after! There was nothing holding us back from committing our love and lives to each other. We felt (and feel) so blessed to call the other partner, lover, and best friend. Our relationship is fun, incredibly silly, and full of love. We make everything a game – from who can guess right answers, who can run faster up the stairs, seriously anything and everything is turned into a competition. It’s pure fun, however, Scott swears he will always win regardless of how hard I try. Scott is an avid golfer and is extremely good at the game. I am soon to graduate college and aspire to work in design.

Our dream shoot would be a nod to Scott’s passion for golf and my passion for all things vintage. It would be so wonderful to have a shoot featuring the sport that is so close to my husband’s heart. He loves the history and old style golfers had back then. It would be so special to us to have photos taken of us in our first year of marriage, to capture this new and wonderful journey we are on.

Our dream shoot would take place at a rustic and historical golf course with visually stunning holes and great architectural buildings. It would have a vintage European feel with antique golf attire, knickers, and equipment. Old school country club style infused with dress of the Kentucky derby too. Scott would wear old knickers, argyle socks and shirt, along with a hat of the period. I would be featured in a vintage style dress, giving a nod to the time, along with that style of make up and a fantastic derby hat.

Spring Is In The Air!

In the midst of all the rain and wintery weather, it is beginning to feel more and more like spring. All the rain is making the hills green and I have the sudden desire to wear flowers with everything haha. So I guess that means spring is almost here, right? Not only are my flower instincts ready for spring – Etsy seems to be ready as well. All the etsy shops are full in bloom with bright and fun colors and I absolutely love it! To start out the week, here are some of my favs with a hint of daffodil yellow and what would you call this? Robin’s egg blue perhaps? Where is crayola when you need them – you know those people that name all the crayons the crazy specific names. Ok, I’m rambling =)

Make sure you check these awesome stores for more lovelies!

Lime Anyone?

My good friend Abby, who also happens to be my boyfriend’s sister emailed me the other day with a wedding dilemma! Haha, not really… I’m so over dramatic. Her friend is getting married and wants a lime green and fuscia-ey color scheme, however the Mr. wasn’t so sure about the idea… I think that’s the situation. Anyways, the couple needed some advice/inspiration on how to incorporate the bold colors while still making it look fabulous.

When I first thought of lime and fuscia I immediately thought of a 12 year old girl’s birthday party slash bedroom haha… so I wanted to elimanate any of those thoughts for the inspiration board lol because I’m sure that was exactlly what the couple was trying to avoid.

Since the colors are bright I figured they were going for a bright summery wedding so I didn’t want to tone anything done. Do “take the edge off” of the lime – I paired the two colors with a couple accent options that would take away the birthday look. I chose a deep blue, yellow, and a teal-ey color. I used all 3 to show how they all looked with the green/fuchsia – naturally they could just chose 1 if they wanted.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are a million ways slash colors to go about doing this, but this was what I went with and I like it – I hope they liked it too! Abby did at least =) Happy Monday – hope you all get the day off and can relax =)

*These images were all in my archives and I have no idea where they are from – if they are yours or you know who shot them please let me know so I can give them credit!

Happy New Years!

I trust that you all had a safe and wonderful New Years Eve and New Years! Here’s to a wonderful 2010 from me!
