I am also intrigued by this cuff with a hidden inner pocket for cash…

thoughts

1. The rain and wind here in Orange County has been craaaazy. (Also, I know we are spoiled here weather wise… but for us, this is craaaazy!)

2. We ordered Chinese food tonight, and realized too late that we didn’t get any fortune cookies. I am pretty sure that is bad luck.

3. If I took my yoga mat anywhere other than from my bedroom to in front of the TV (yeah Wii Fit!) I would totally snatch up this yoga mat, made by my lovely friend Jessie. It is made out of the most awesome-est fabric, and it’s on sale!

4. Have an awesome weekend!  I am thinking a trip to Ikea is in the cards for us… I’ll keep you posted.

ireland tips

Update: We will be in Edinburgh and Linlithgow while in Scotland.

B and I will be visiting Scotland this summer with the rest of my family in order to spread the rest of my grandparents ashes. While we are over there we will also be hitting up Ireland! I have never been to either country so do you have any tips? Our time in Scotland is pretty much accounted for (but if you have any restaurant/pub tips, please let me know!) but we have no idea what we should do in Ireland. Any recommendations?!

cover

(no pro pics yet, but I hear it will be soon :) )

I don’t know if it is the photography or the covers themselves, but I can’t stop looking at these laptop  and iPod cases.

(first seen on Simple + Pretty, buy them here)

Happy Monday

real wedding and real talent

My long time friend Jessie got married a few months back (Yaaay!) and I have been meaning to do a post of her pictures, but I just kept getting busy.  So this morning when I saw on facebook that she had put some new items on her etsy shop I figured now was a good time to do a double header!

Jessie is a Southern California girl who fell in love with a (very tall) Swedish basketball player. She travels with him and when they aren’t traveling they are in Sweden. All of this time has given her a chance to work on some side projects, sewing being one of them. And oh. my. Lord. Go check out her etsy shop before everything sells out!

A yoga mat bag.

Place mats with a built in chopsticks holder! (ok, so between this morning when I grabbed the picture from her etsy and right now, these have sold out….  I am sure you can request some though!)

She also has pillows and aprons… all in the most fun fabrics!  Go check it out!

Now on to her wedding. Want to know something cool? They got married in Sweden, so… as to not disappoint all of their family and friends who couldn’t make the trip, they had a live feed going! I got to watch the whole thing from right here in front of my computer!  It was awesome! All images (except for the shoes, which were shot by a freind, were actually shot by an actions sports photographer! Check out his site!

She was rockin the J. Crew dress (The Whitney) and shoes!!

So gorgeous!  She also has a blog , which I have a link to over on the right, Meditations of a Wallflower. She posts cooking stuff, home decorating stuff, life stuff…  She is pretty much awesome.  Congrats Jessie and Fred!!!
