Turquoise, for the rest of us...

Good morning! My top choice for accessory treats has always been turquoise- its a great way to add a pop of color and it literally goes with everything. I pile it on with just jeans and a t-shirt or add some dangly turquoise earrings to a tailored shirt dress to make it a little more bohemian. But, if you have an obsession like I do, you know that the real stuff is expensive. I have one gorgeous turquoise necklace of my grandmothers made by Native Americans that is worth a small fortune, but most of my pieces are costume-which is fine by me. If I lose them or they break, no biggie! Plus, if you know what to look for, the cheapies can look just as good as the real thing- at a fraction of the price. Check out the big ol' turq earrings I am rocking today (from F21) and scroll down to see more of my affordable pics...

Crazy Cat Lady

Yep- I am one. I'm loving Zara's cute kitty-printed dress. It's a little more subtle than the ladies that wear puff-painted cat sweatshirts, right? Right. And to really drive home the crazy cat lady point, here are some pics of my baby Ellie Mae. Happy Monday all!

"Rehearsal Dinner" does not mean we are practicing eating...

But it does mean I get a new dress! I have this romantic idea that wearing white extends my "bridehood" for a few extra hours...Here are my picks for the perfect rehearsal dinner dress.

Happy Tuesday all!

It IS easy being green!

So far, I have to say I have not been an indecisive bride. I chose the first venue I looked at, and have had a very clear image of the look and feel of our wedding from the get-go. The one thing I keep waffling on is my shoes. I ordered these super cute green ballet flats a while back because we are having an outdoor ceremony on grass and I didn't want my heels to sink in. But I am a high heels girl at heart. And don't you want to wear the most fabulous, perfect shoes on your wedding day? The answer is HELL YES. And now that I've found these, I can sport some stilettos without them becoming a grassy mess. 4" Green lovelies, come to mama!
