    The Last of the Holidays

      A few shots of our Christmas Eve, which we spent with my in-laws. I made two apple pies (well, actually, three, but one was Paleo for my side of the family), and then we went to a cookie-decorating party at my sister-in-law’s house, where the kids reveled in the amount of frosting they were able to smear on their cookies. Asa had his first Christmas cookie, which he thoroughly enjoyed, and he watched through the window as his bigger cousins played a game of football on the lawn.  I hope you’ll bear with me and I get used to something other than style blogging! I am still very much…

    New favorite florals

    May I introduce to you… my new favorite dress. Oh. My. Goodness. I love this dress. I want to wear it all the time, everywhere. It’s the perfect floral print, the perfect beautiful colors, the perfect length, the perfect twirliness, and it has pockets! I mean, what more could a girl want? I had a bit of luck at the thrift store this week, and scored three gorgeous vintage 1970’s dresses (one of which you’ll see later this week!) that I can’t wait to over-wear come warmer weather! And by “warmer”, I mean warm enough not to have to still wear a coat in the morning.  I am so in love.…

    Life Rambles: On Dieting.

    Note: I’ve realized lately that I really want my blog to be more than just about the fashion aspect of my life. I have always been terrible at writing diary entries; from the tender age of seven, I’ve hoarded pretty diaries like a magpie pilfers shiny things, but I rarely wrote on more than ten of their pages. So I’m hoping to put more diary-like entries entailing things about my life other than what I’ve been wearing into the blog (along with pictures, if I happen to have some). I love fashion, and that will always be the primary focus of my pictures, but I want to write more about… life. I…

    A comedy of errors

    This week, I was so ready to post some actual honest-to-goodness outfit posts that I’d been so good at taking… and then I dropped my laptop and  busted my power cord. And my laptop is so old and sad, it can’t live at all without a power cord. So, suffice it to say my determination to post has been conquered by no internet and no computer. Dang it. But, minor difficulties aside, I get to announce the winner of my very first giveaway!   Margaret, my dear, you are the winner of this beautiful veil! Email me your address and I will get this beauty sent to you! Also, everyone…

    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…
