Gorgeous Coral and Green Real Wedding

You all know I am not only a sucker for green and coral colored weddings but also anything with big fat lucious peonies. So, though it takes a lot for me to melt enough over another blog's real wedding post to share it here (this one is via Ruffled), this one hits pretty much everyone one of my heart strings.

The colors, the flowers, the signage, the romance and the carefreeness... Just enjoy the heck out of it, wouldya?!

Major swoon.

Sparkle Motion

Did ya'll have a great 3 day weekend? It is truly my belief that we would all be better, sweeter, more humane individuals if every weekend was a 3 day weekend. I think I'm going to write a bill.

In the meantime, my weekend was sparkley-tastic. The hubs and I had date night to see Twilight and it was AAAAAWESOME. We both loved it, but we are both major Team Jacob supporters. My bff has read all of the books and tells me that if you have read Stephanie Meyer than you will always be for Bella and Edward because their romance is written so well. However, when the books came out, I was teaching high school and ALL of my students were into the series and I just couldn't bring myself to read the same thing as them concurrently. Therefore, not having read the books, I just dont believe Robert Pattenson's demonic pasty emo 107 year old self would win out over a warm cuddley wolf-man! HELLLO.


Anywhooo it was entertaining for sure, and I liked it best of the saga thus far. We are much bigger HP fans and are majorly looking forward to the next 2 movies (even though it drives me nuts that they split the last book into a 2 part movie).

We had a really relaxing and fun weekend with friends that included rock band, shopping, ice cream, that most American of dinners - sushi, and of course watching a great fireworks display to cap it all off. So far we are having a truly great summer!


I just love shiney, glittery things, don't you?

J.Crew Final Sale Must Haves

J.Crew is making shopping it's summer olympics with sale after sale. Enter the Final Event.

Eyelet silk cotton blend blouse would be sweet under a sweater at work, or great for the weekend.

Ikat man! This fancy embroidered summer length Pencil Skirt makes the African trend completely wearable.

A drapey grey Wool Jacket would be cute at work, or overtop a ruffley floral summer dress.

If I had an extra $100 bucks and a summer wedding to attend, I would slip myself into the Watercolor Garden Dress for sure.

WordPress in A Weekend via Design*Sponge

I have been a bit lax lately in getting lovely, DIY, fab, fashionable things in front of your eyes but I have good excuses, I swear! Beyond my (seemingly endless) career hunt, adjusting to life on the East coast, spending time with my hubs and best friend...

I have also been slowly working to transfer BMF into more than just this here blog by creating my own website.


This wordpress tutorial has been very helpful and since it comes from Design*Sponge, you will probably like it too. Be patient with me, I am working on it ya'll!
