Since my lovely friend is getting engaged soon, I have taken it upon myself to plan the extravaganza (obviously).  I think something like this dress would work splendidly.

I have 2 gift cards to Anthro…. I can choose 1 item…

Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes, I had a lovely day!

Lately I have been perusing the wedding blogs with more purpose and I forgot how much I love it!  A friend of mine is about to get engaged and the fun and excitement of wedding planning is here again!  So here you go friend, I’m starting off my return to (the occasional) wedding post with some color. I loooove the look of a colorful cardigan over the dress. Just something classy yet fun and beautiful about it!

Also, a very happy birthday today to my Father-in-Law!!

Today I am twenty six.

Twenty six will bring traveling to new countries, getting my design business up and running, and a year anniversary of being married to my favorite man.  Hopefully it will also bring more exercise, more cooking, a promotion and maybe even a baby. But all of that is up in the air. Besides, life is pretty great right now, so more of the same wouldn’t be so bad.

Anthropologie sent me a birthday coupon and candle necklace… love them!

And my in-laws sent me an anthroplogie gift card… love them too!  So naturally I went to pick up a new outfit for my birthday. Since my birthday always falls on St. Patrick’s day I am always trying to come up with a new green outfit to wear. This year I picked out this lovely green dress and belt.  Thanks Bud and Mary Ellen!

I hope everyone has a fun filled (and safe) St. Patrick’s day!

As you may or may not know, all the ladies in my wedding party rocked J. Crew.  So I may be a little biased. But I think all flower girls should get to wear these dresses. And with all of these dresses coming in under $100, there really is no excuse not to.

I am loving this simple yet gorgeous shirt from outofline.

Almost 6 months later I am still in love with our wedding colors. (forgive the iPhone pic)

another nod to the fact that we are living the same life but in different places, this just shipped to me yesterday!

If you have not yet checked out Jessie’s blog, go! go now!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and if you don’t celebrate it, then a wonderful holiday!  The last week flew by, and I am back to work this week until Wednesday. We are playing with the idea of going up to San Luis Obispo for New Years… but we will see.

I wanted to share a few of the gifts I received for Christmas with you (only because I was so stoked to receive them!) My family was incredibly blessed this year to be almost completely untouched by the terrible economy. Other than my month long stint as an unemployed house-fiance, we were all employed. I know that the Lord was watching over us, and I give Him all of the credit for our good fortune.

Some of the gifts I received from my wonderful family:

The 2010 Linda & Harriett calendar (my sister scooped one up before they sold out!)

A sewing machine!!!  Thanks mom!!!

This amazing book so that I can use my sewing machine!

A lovely rug and vase.

And some amazing tape and a dispenser!

And my wonderful husband bought me a lovely dress and an H!

Merry Christmas!
