    And I only cried once!

    Today has not been my day. I’d like to pause the regular posting of outfits and happiness to just let you all know: bloggers have bad days, too! To wit: I threw up this morning. I almost got hit on the way to work. I felt like throwing up the entire time I was AT work. A rock hit my windshield and chipped it on the way from work. I went to the dentist. I need a root canal. I tend to post happy things on my blog because… well, it’s a joy to blog, and I am generally a happy person. But today has royally sucked, and I’m not…

    My wedding according to Instagram

    This was my wedding day. Bits and pieces of it, anyway. It was perfect, in my eyes. 1, 3: Lanterns that we hung everywhere in the sanctuary. 2. The altar. 4. My beautiful, beautiful bouquet! 5. Our rings. 6. Owl cake toppers! 7. A beautiful pie 8. The amazing cake that my aunt made for me 9. Cakes in jars! Me with my wedding-day makeup on. Gosh, I wish I could go back and re-live the wedding part of the day. It was wonderful.

Since purchasing my very first Modcloth Items — these tights, for my wedding, and these shoes… because I needed them…– I have been unable to leave the site alone, and I’ve been drooling over SO many items lately. I think my Modcloth Wishlists might become a weekly thing. I bought the Mariachi Knows Best dress for my wedding rehearsal, because I’m definitely one of those people who will dress up for ANY occasion. Plus, it is the perfect dress for holidays– Christmas and Valentine’s day, especially–…

    Instagrammatic

    As you probably know by now, I recently got Instagram. I’m a little bit addicted. And nerdily excited, becuase now I can be one of those cool bloggers who does weekly instagram posts! Yay! Also, it makes my life look way cooler than it actually is. Which is always good. 😉 This week, I: 1,2,3: apparently have a new affinity for tights– especially the patterned kind– leaves, and those brown shoes. 4: tested my wedding makeup, hair, and necklace. I’m in love with this necklace. 5: will be carrying a bouquet with these flowers in 56 days. 6: Watched the love of my life display one of his many talents…

    My Moon, My Man

    I have had this song stuck in my head all day. Actually, make that the last two days. I sang it in the shower last night, at work yesterday, at work this morning, between pictures today… it’s a catchy tune. I realized the other day– when I posted that photoshoot of myself— that I’ve been downplaying my tendencies to edit my pictures because I’ve sort of… unconsciously been trying to “fit in” with all the other fashion bloggers. Who don’t really edit their pictures at all. And it wasn’t until someone commented that the pictures looked more artistic than my normal that I realized I was doing this. I was…
