What I wore Wednesday

{via}

With it almost being fall here in Dallas I thought I would share my favorite purchase so far for the season.I first saw these boots on Pinterest and I fell in love. I have a tough time with boots because I have a high instep and I have to have boots with a zipper because I can't step into boots (totally weird and such a life burden, I know.) These are perfect to wear with a flowy dress and also great with skinny jeans.  I love the cut out detail in the back since there are such few really cold days in Dallas so it is nice to have the extra air flow.

One of my favorite lines that I sell is Karen Adams Designs. She does an amazingly beautiful calendar that we sell so many of sometimes I am sure every person in Dallas must have one. During the New York Stationery Show in May she released a series of Cabana Striped notecards that just make me happy. I love the bright colors with the sweet sayings in gold foil... really anything gold foiled wins my heart these days! I love cards like these because they are perfect to write a quick note but they could also work as a birthday card or thank you or congrats with just a couple of lines written on them.

Wedding Wednesday

{via}

For my first Wedding Wednesday back at blogging I thought it would be fun to share my save the date today. Planning a wedding is such hard work and really I would never want to plan another one (ha!) but looking back I love the way everything came together. I felt a lot of pressure to have an original save the date and really I had a tough time finding something that I felt like "us" until I saw this Martha Stewart editorial and then I knew I had found something that I loved. We had our save the dates printed locally in Dallas on white linen cocktail napkins which we thought would set the tone for the kind of wedding we wanted (festive and fun!) We then mounted them on Waste Not Paper so they could be mailed and so we would have somewhere to include the detail. Looking back I still love them!
