BLOG!

Dear Blog,

I have missed you. I promise there are many exciting things coming up in the next 5 months. :) Posting will be a regular thing again... stay tuned.

* Seen above is my dream wedding hair style.

If I get one thing...

on my wedding day, it will be a Cheese wedding cake. It looks like an amazing idea for cocktail hour. (Of course there will be real cake too).

I may need one sooner than later. Perhaps for cocktail hour at Thanksgiving!

Cheese wedding cakes

This is one of the weeks where absolutely everything sucks. My whole body hurts and all I want to do is sleep for a week. A week from tomorrow is vacation time for me. I just need to focus on that...

Circus Circus

This reminds me of what Riss and I wore to Tour de Fat last year. I love it.

Park to Park

I may be crazy, but I have decided to do one more race before I leave on my Hawaiian adventure. It's the day before I fly away so hopefully this will mean I'll be in super awesome shape for the beach while also very ready for a relaxing vacation!

It's a 10 mile run that goes through City Park, Cheesman Park, and Wash Park. I think it will be rather scenic. And I've convinced the sister to do it with me. We did 13.1 miles so I'm sure we can manage 10. Although I need new running shoes asap since apparently I'm getting shin splints. Lovely. I suppose this is why some people say running is not so good for the body...

Art for my walls

I really need to get some wall art one of these days. But our walls are concrete so I guess that's why we haven't been able to put anything up. I rather enjoy this artichoke print. How pretty for your kitchen.

Bling

Someone has been shopping around for diamonds lately and took me along last weekend. I found my favorite. Perhaps someday I'll be wearing it. I'd be the luckiest girl of all time!

It's Tiffany.

High & Mighty

I love big hair. I think I was meant to live in another time. But I could always bring it back myself! Refinery says big hair is a fall trend. Lucky me because I already have this Elnett Satin hairspray. Btw, this is like the best hairspray in the world and totally worth the $14 price tag.

Wallpaper Love

Sweet flower wallpaper found via A Cup of Jo. I can't wait for the day that I own my walls and can paper them as I please.

Anniversary Sale

If I had any money I would seriously be online shopping at Nordstrom right now. All the fall stuff is seriously discounted.. but of course you have to buy it now.

Style Inspiration

I love, love Julianne Moore. I think I need to get my hair and makeup done like this ASAP.

Also, on my to-do list is to see A Single Man.

TOMS

Speaking of shoes... I love my new Toms. Sister got me some for my birthday and they are so comfy and super cute and I just love the concept. With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for one.

Heart

I've seen these Vivienne Westwood shoes out and about on the wedding blogs quite a bit. But I didn't realize they were available in all colors! Sweet.

Sweet Story

I don't know that I believe in destiny or fate... but this story is awesome. You must read it. I got a shiver. It makes me think of my Europe trip when I saw someone I knew from school in Paris. So weird how these things happen.

Spanish Wedding Gowns

Is it just me or do they make some really amazing wedding gowns in Spain? I have loved Rosa Clara for a while and just discovered Pronovias because of this girl's pretty dress and garden wedding.

Swoon.

Romper-oo

I am too tall for this romper... camel toe city.. so go bid on it! It's super cute and never worn! The true color is shown below.

Veggie Delivery

We just started getting our produce delivered by Door to Door Organics. I'm in love. We get 1 small box every other week and it's the greatest. And really pretty affordable considering it feeds us for 2 weeks. We actually saved a lot of $ on our last grocery trip because we didn't get any grocery store produce.

Tonight I'm coming home to:

1 ea. Local Basil 2/3oz.
2 ea. Tomatoes
1 ea. Local Kale bunch
1 ea. Celery
1 ea. Local Leaf Lettuce
1 ea. Carrots bunch
1 ea. Cucumbers
1 ea. Cantaloupe Melon
4 ea. Yellow Peach
1 ea. Strawberries 8.8oz.
1 ea. Blueberries 6oz.
1 ea. Avocados
5 ea. Bananas
1 ea. Local Radishes bunch

Yum!

Mexican Chocolate

These cookies are sooo good. I could eat them all day. I made a double batch Saturday and I doubt if they'll last much longer.

Living Bouquet

I love this idea of using succulents in your bouquet so they will live long after the wedding! I totally want to do this. It's kind of sad how expensive wedding flowers are and they're dead!

Mmmm Cheese

I just discovered that San Fran has a Cheese School! I think this sounds like the perfect activity next time I get to go out there. I think I consider myself a serious cheese enthusiast!

The Cheese School of San Francisco is the only independent institution of its kind in the nation dedicated entirely to helping people maximize their enjoyment and appreciation of cheese. Our cheese education curriculum is designed to satisfy food lovers of all types, from the merely curious, to the serious cheese enthusiast, to the food service professional.
