who wants to break out in their 20's ( ugh almost 30!)

I was lucky enough to not have problem skin when I was a teenager but for some reason my skin has decided to freak out now - I'm almost 30.. REALLY!!!!

I've tried perscriptions, drugstore brands, chemical peels ( which realy do work!) and everything else.  Until now - I have found the perfect cocktail my my skin to be clear. And with our wedding coming clear skin in a must!!!

If you are like me, I hope this helps :)

Tech Accessories

 


I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!!! I was lucky enough to get a new iPhone and iPad for Christmas ( Rob's iPad can now be Pinterest free ha ha).  I've been looking for a new case but can't make a decision. I want something cute, not too bulky ...... decisions decisions...

 
I love this Tory Burch case, but Bloomingdale's (and everywhere else) seem to be out
 
Monogrammed iPad cover - Stripe Personalized YOU CHOOSE DESIGN
 
and I'm obsessed with this one from Kari Rhoades via Etsy, my monogram will be changing in 346 days ( yep I'm counting! ) so I may hold off on this for now.
 
 
this kate spade case is really cute too! I want something fun.
 
happy day after Christmas shopping everyone!

“Anyone who thinks it’s hard to find the perfect man has never had to find the perfect dress.” - Dorothy Parker


 

I read somewhere that your wedding dress is the single most important piece of clothing a woman will ever wear, while I compleatly agree, it did make my heart skip a beat or two. No stress right.
But just like you are supposed to with they guy - when you see the right one you'll just know - I think I found "the" dress... and here's a few of my favorites.

364 Days and counting!!

If it's not moving... Monogram it!

There's a lot that goes into a wedding; the dress, the flowers, the band, the groom and so on but I'm really excited about my new monogram. I really love personal touches, something that makes it yours and nothing does that quite like a monogram.  I have been one of those girls over the past year that has put off  monogramming anything because I was secretly (or not so secretly) hoping that my monogram would change.

I've stalked Allison Banks for months, her work is absolutely amazing!! And it must have been fate that Camille brought me a copy of Garden and Gun with her personalized stamp (must have) a few days after Rob and I got engaged.

What's the rule on including the groom? Do you need one with just your own initials?

I can not wait to see what she puts together for me and here are a few of my favorites.

Big News!

Hey babe, I thought you might like to wear this today - Rob



The moment that changed it all, this is how Rob proposed to me - followed by a "will you marry me" of course! While I'm sleepy and on my way out the door for work he was walking downstairs to get a "cup of coffee" and came back with this beautiful ring!!! I can't believe my first few words were "are you sure" and "is it real" but I did squeak out a YES! We are so excited to start the planning of our big day and the rest of our lives.

Beach Week - More Cubicle Decor

It's Wipe Out Week at work and it's beach themed. There weren't any beach decorations I really liked and I didn't want to spend a ton of money on this project. I've also tried to find some way to decorate my cube for 6 months now and I think I've found the perfect theme - beach :) and probably some Lilly too!

Lauren helped me craft together this palm tree out of poster board, duck tape and tissue paper flowers, it's huge. For about $5 and 1 hour it fantastic, so cheerful and happy!




  Seriously, the whole place is beachy, tons of beach balls, hula skirts, flamingos and umbrellas.
