I have been so M.I.A. lately (oops) but it's all for good reason! Ainsworth and I are getting married in September and every spare moment has been spent debating different dresses and deciding which wedding style is more us.

I am so excited to finally share that we are partnering with Green Wedding Shoes (one of my favorite wedding blogs to gain inspiration from even before I became engaged) to chronicle our entire journey down the aisle. We'll be sharing one wedding post per month (from now until October) on their site and documenting everything from finding the perfect gown to decor DIYs. I am so excited that you'll be able to join us on this adventure!

Today I'm explaining how we met (dancing on a table to 99 Red Balloons), why we work so well together (because he is so amazingly sweet and supportive) and how I asked my best girlfriends to stand beside me on our special day. Head on over to Green Wedding Shoes to read the full post!

I always forget one small detail when the air gets sticky and slow and temperatures start to beckon for nights spent under the stars... spring comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. We're smack in the middle of Southern thunderstorm season and I've been spending some quality time listening to the rain beat on our rooftop while I drift off to sleep each night. Rainy days (though they are good for getting inspired and working with your hands at home) can make me a little listless without the right soundtrack to accompany them. This month I've been repeating these tunes:

Mother's Day is fast approaching... a day for breakfast in bed (albeit burnt, a tradition at our house), extra snuggles and a little much anticipated pampering. While the priceless things are what moms really look forward to, a few well-chosen gifts never hurt either. This holiday, treat the most important woman in your life to luxurious leather, pretty beauty products and a few new pieces for her nest.
