pretty brides

 Anthropologie launched a bridal beautiful bridal line recently!

They have everything to, from gowns to hair pieces.... it is really all so pretty! 

Now i am not getting married, but i thought if anything, this would be such a great inspiration to look at for any bride! It's unique and whimsical and as stunning as it gets!

I'm going to be a brides made in September for my brothers wedding, and i couldn't be more excited!!

So i can't help but looking at all this stuff and dream of what a beautiful wedding Gabe and Christina are going to have! YAY!!!

It seem this spring is bringing some super special deliveries too!

Inspiration Sunday.

I'm getting all kinds of inspired on this lovely Sunday!! 

i am about to head out to a baby shower and i have slowly been getting ready but through the process of curling my hair and putting on my rouge, I have been roaming my house with the music playing softly and my windows open pouring soft sunlight in....

So when i saw this picture of the porch and lanterns, i immediately thought we need to have a cookout tonight!

Which then prompted me to text my friend to get the ball rolling!

YAY! this should be the 1st of SO many! 

I also cant wait to get some porch stuff like a grill and some chairs maybe even some pretty lanterns too:)

so i can have as many cookouts as i want!

Happy Sunday every one! hope your weekend was swell!

Dance party practice.

SO....

Me and and my good friend Charis had this idea we would put together a choreographed dance and perform it at my birthday party....
Now, we are not professionals and we don't brag to have step up 3 moves but we did are best:)

We don't have footage of the dance at the party but we do have this, which is of us practicing.. ..

We had a ton of fun coming up with moves and mostly this dance is about us being bored on super bowl sunday... {when the boys are away, girls will dance ;) }  

we were just haven fun ....

Oh yeah, and this will be my constant reminder of how short i  am.... :)

What I'm watching.

So tonight i settled in with a movie... Bright Star.

Let me just say this movie is one of my most favorites. I love the time period and love, love how every shot is so pretty!

It's about a poet named  John Keats and his love story. I don't want to give it all away but if you are a dreamer and you like to watch beautiful things this is a perfect movie for you...

I love movies that can almost take you back to that place, where you feel like if you reach out you can pick the flowers and smell them...

I hope you enjoy this movie as much as i do ...

Park Lovin...

On a Sunday afternoon in February me and my friend charis ventured to the park...

We sipped our iced coffees and soaked up some sun...

 We laid out a blanket and flipped thru pages of magazines...

Felt so good to be out side with a breeze of fresh air blowing constantly.

 It was truly a beautiful day .... i need more of them.

I got very inspired looking at magazines and seeing whats hot for this summer, I cant even wait!

 Oh Spring i have missed you, the sound of children playing and people laughing, the smell of spring time air and all the above.... i'm glad your on your way back!

 I had a ton of fun taking pictures with charis's camera,  i really want to get one soon, i just need to start saving up! My lil iphone gets the job done for now though :)

I hope everyone is taking the time to enjoy this beautiful weather we are having in the Queen City! I know i am! Happy almost weekend everyone!!
