Five On Friday

Well, it is only appropriate that since I get married in 29 days--- This will be 5 wedding things, aside from the obvious Fiance, that I LOVE!

1. My photographer, Wendy Cunningham-- that is the link to her blog. She is incredible. I never would have imagined that I would grow to like her the way I have. She is truly one-of-a-kind! I hope everyone engaged will really take the time to invest in your photographer, don't just go with what the cheapest option may be, while cost is very, very important. It is also important that you realize you are paying for quality. I would say I do not regret a dollar spent on my photography thus far. Which, coming from someone who is always trying to save, save, save... that is a huge deal.



2. My venue. I am obsessed with my venue. I think it is the perfect location for Patrick and I




3. My Matron of Honor's in-laws own a nursery. Pumpkins and mums galore! SO thankful for them volunteering these for our wedding!!



4. Pre-marital counseling. Love it. Recommend it. Just do it. And, read this book. It will impact your relationship in ways I never thought possible.


5.My sweet friend Rachel. She has truly invested in me the past year (really, since I was a high schooler, but anyways). When every one else is being judgmental or has no idea what I am going through with wedding/marriage things, she has been a true blessing. Even yesterday, I texted her to hash out some thoughts, and she said all I needed to hear "I've been there, and so has everyone else... you're not alone." God broke the mold when he created her. Her spirit and heart scream God's love. She is real, honest, and wise beyond her years. I cannot wait to learn more from her and her marriage!

5 on Friday: Fall Edition

Originally, I planned on doing 5 fall pieces that I must have. Well, when doing that, I decided how about 5 fall outfits?! Yes?! That's what I thought too. Cheating, maybe, but that is okay.


First up: Around town outfit. Everything you need and more. While Tory Burch boots are an ultimate dream of mine, there are several alternatives that ring up less than $100- compared to these at $495. I am obsessed with this wool pullover, and of course the Longchamp. Who doesn't love a monogrammed scarf?! Leggings: the sorority girl's favorite article of clothing. I get all of mine from VS, and love them.

Second: Casual Fall. Whether it is going to the grocery or making a mini road trip... these are some of my must haves this fall.. and trust me, I will have them! I am seeing this monogram crewneck EVERYWHERE. And what's not to love about it?! Again, leggings are my go-to. They catch a lot of flack, but when worn properly, they look great. What adventure isn't complete without pearls and starbucks, I mean come on! And again... obsessed with Longchamp. Frees aren't my running shoe of choice, but I love the fun colors to wear on all other occasions.

Third: Love this outfit for a casual date with the fiance/husband/boyfriend/third date OR for a dinner with girlfriends.
I love this lace top, and it is only $29! The boots are on sale as well  here. I have a Dooney similar to this one that I got on sale when I worked at Dillard's. Same story with the watch. Who doesn't love getting things at discount + sale price?! I am not big on jeans, but these black skinnies work great! 
Dinner with Girlfriends 

Fourth:These Excursion Vests From JCrew are a little pricey, and they are never in stock. I am hoping to find one similar at Target. Ugg boots are essential as it gets cooler out! Yurman bracelets can be pricey (let's be honest...ARE pricey), but I got mine as a present from SwellCaroline for $38. Searching desperately for a good deal on a monogram necklace like this one, that doesn't break the bank to buy.

Last, but not least: See a pattern here?! This would be fun for a movie/dinner date night! Love this color pairing of mustard & olive!
