It's Raining! It's Pouring!

{via}

Wow- the temps dropped 15 degrees in about 30 minutes today here in Dallas and we are looking at 2-3 inches of rain over the next 3 days! One of the only great things about rain is that I get to use my super cute Jonathan Adler umbrella. I love this umbrella and I think it makes a great gift for someone who has everything (who couldn't use another umbrella!) I also think that they are SUPER adorable monogrammed- great way to add that personal touch! They retail for under $30 and are totally worth the investment!

I have not felt well for about 5 days- a crazy case of hives from an allergic reaction to an antibiotic I was taking for my skin... after a trip back to the doctor yesterday I am hoping that start to feel better soon! We have our first wedding shower this weekend- it is a Stock the Bar shower! I can't tell you how excited I am to start to celebrate our wedding with our friends and family! One thing I am excited to receive is champagne glasses- we dont have any and I just love the shape options! Champagne is not a drink I can drink all night (well I can but I do not like the hangover that comes with that....) but I do love having a glass of champagne- I think when you drink champagne you just feel special! Here are some champagne glasses I think are fab!

Entertaining

Is this weather amazing or what?! I have to say I am not going to complain about 70 and 80 degree days in March- I am sure we will pay for it with the heat this summer! With that being said, One thing that I love to do when the weather warms up is to entertain. There is nothing like having friends over for dinner and being able to dine outside. What better to spruce up your outdoor dining then these great Trays and Plates by Lilly Pulitzer? Add the acrylic wine glasses and some flowers and you have a darling dining set!

Wedding Wednesday

This week it really feels like I am getting married- less than 3 months! We had our first wedding present arrive, we have a shower next week, and *drumroll please* I picked up our wedding invitations yesterday! I have to say I am in love. I am going to wait and share them after it is all said and done but in the mean time here is the inspiration that I used to get to the final copy of our invitation! I love the romance of calligraphy and I really felt inspired by many calligraphers in the whole wedding planning process- it really is art! Again, Pinterest was a great source to use to get inspiration and help me "see the big picture".

I am getting married in 95 days (sidenote: I wake up to an email everyday from some site I signed up for early on that tells me how many days until our wedding.... just a little clarification that I am not marking down a calendar :) ) I have for the most part refrained from talking about things relating to the wedding on my blog- A. Because I change my mind pretty regularly and B. Because I don't want to give too much away! and C. Up until this month it has felt so far away! I would say that I should not quit my day job to become a full time wedding planner- it is tough! The reality is, is there are thousands of ways you can have a beautiful wedding. Luckily I have super amazing, creative, talented, genius friends who have helped me get these ideas to hopefully come to light. I also do not know what I would have done without the help of Pinterest. It has provided the inspiration for our Save The Dates, Wedding Invitations and just overall decor. Seriously, it has kept my thoughts organized and I feel like let me see my "big picture." Above are some of the ideas that I have loved seeing on Pinterest! (And here's to hoping the next 95 days aren't too stressful!)

Scouting Out

I was in one of my stores yesterday and they were sorting through a huge order they had just received of the best bags by Scout! I have looked at this line a few times but I have to say the patterns are too cute right now! I love a good tote- who doesn't need 100 of them? The storage bins are also adorable and useful- great for playrooms, dorms, closets, poolside etc... With all the patterns there is something for everyone!

Fresh

What a busy 6 weeks! I am loving all the fresh designs from the new Karen Adams release. She is known for her amazing calender but her invites and boxed notes are just precious! Karen has a great simple design that really come to life when she adds glitter!
