Veronica Rose: 6 months

October 19, 2011

She is proud of her age I guess;)

And also proud of her new trick!

(adorable headband from Much Love, Illy)

Veronica found her feet this month and loves to roll around while holding both!

She also discovered the art of bubble blowing. Lately, she had her eyes on daddy, and if she looks at him a certain way, she knows he will come pick her up and hold her. Trouble. Gabe and I wish she would stay this sweet forever…

Lookbook: Hint of Mint.

October 17, 2011

(Mint Scarf: Reverie Market, Earrings: Gift from husband, Long sleeve Tee: JCrew, Jeans: Banana Republic, Skinny Belt: F21, Silk wrap Bracelet: Stella & Dot, Boots: Carlos Santana, Nails: Butter London in Queen Vic)

Outfit notes: 1) Have you seen all the goodies in Danni’s new shop, Reverie Market?! This scarf is just one of the items I scored there:) I could have easily bought everything.

2) I told you I wore these boots just about every day. Comfortable is the key.

3) How do you like that stone cold killer look in the last photo?? Ya know, cuz I am so good at smiling in photos and all…

How was your weekend? We headed up to my old stomping grounds in the north Georgia mountains where I finished my last few years of college. The annual Gold Rush festival draws in thousands of people, and occurs around the time of the change of leaves, so the drive up is quite the view! It had been a few years since I’ve been able to attend since we just moved back tot he area, so it was pretty fantastic getting to see some old friends. God seems to weave people in and out of your life in the coolest way:)
Have a great start to your week!

Old-Young Hollywood Party Invitations

October 12, 2011

(invites made using this printable disguise kit, Urban Scarlet Tape, and glitter paper confetti)

When my husband and I were in college we loved going to theme parties. Gabe would manage to come up with the craziest get ups and it earned major points for him, because I thought his sense of humor was awesome. He still is able to make me laugh harder than anyone I know:)

Now that we have more space in our new home, we aren’t wasting any time with hosting a theme party! Some of our close friends and neighbors are coming dressed as Hollywood characters of past or present:)

Here’s a preview of the invites. Will make sure and share more details soon!

October 10, 2011

When the leaves turn, you know its time to pull out the comfy sweaters and boots:) I have no problem putting on a few cardi’s and pairing it with a snazzy statement necklace (I have a weak spot for statement necklaces). It just makes a fun combo.

How was your weekend? (Btw, Happy Thanksgiving to the Canadian Readers!!) My hubs has the day off for Columbus day (why thank you Christopher), so I won’t be getting much done today;) I’d much rather waste time with him and the kids anyways. Nothing is more delicious than snuggles with this cuddly little one above. Squishy cheeks!

Happy Monday!
