Man, whatever this season's flu bug/cold virus is, it's a doozy. I've been down for the count for the last week and a half and besides being sick, it's just SO ANNOYING. I hope you stay healthy, especially this week being the week of Thanksgiving. It crept up so quickly!<br />
<br />
We travel out of town tomorrow to visit my husband's family for Christmas at his grandma's house. Sadly, my little hiatus will have to continue since his grandma doesn't have Internet. Four days without Internet will be interesting, for sure, especially since I know how much I rely on it!<br />
<br />
I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving wherever you may be and however you are celebrating!<br />

Seriously. WHERE. DID. THIS. YEAR. GO?<br />
<br />
I started this blog back during the Royal Wedding, 6 months ago! I still feel like this baby blog is only a few weeks old. It's been a fun ride, I'm learning as I go, and I have nothing but respect for all you pro bloggers out there. The way you constantly churn out new, fresh content, serious props.<br />
<br />
And since I'm remain in disbelief that it is, in fact, November, here's a fresh drink I saw on Pinterest. It would be perfect for a Signature Drink for a summer wedding. Refreshing. My husband LOVES watermelon and I think he could get on board with this one.<br />

I don't know about you, but if I'm being totally honest, I'm not a huge fan of Halloween. I never liked dressing up very much as a kid. I think the only thing I liked about Halloween was all the candy. The good stuff, like Snickers, KitKats, and Twix. None of that cheap Tootsie Roll business (sorry if those are your favorites!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But since Halloween is literally right around the corner, I thought I'd highlight some fun ways to incorporate Halloween into your wedding.</div>

<br />
They make a modern alternative to tissue poms or paper lanterns and add an accessible element of DIY to any wedding. I think they are also so lovely when contrasted against some greenery, as seen in the inspired shoot in the photo. So pretty!<br />

So I don't know about you, but I live on Pinterest. I love searching for simple terms like "headboard" or "escort cards" or "DIY decor" and coming up with all kinds of cool, unique ideas. I came upon these yarn-wrapped bottles and thought they could add a simple DIY touch to a wedding - great for centerpieces and then later repurposed as home decor. I'd totally add a set of billy balls or other hardy plant.</div>

I don't think I knew about Macarons until fairly recently. I studied abroad in France, and have been to Paris a handful of times, but I didn't really know about Laduree until after I moved back to the States. Last summer, I tried my hand at making my own macarons, and surprisingly they turned out pretty well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Tartelette Blog has some fabulous macaron recipes which you can check out <a href="http://www.tarteletteblog.com/2009/03/recipe-violet-macarons-with-violet-and.html">here</a>. And how perfect would macarons be for favors or in lieu of wedding cake. (Although, I love me some wedding cake!)</div>

If I were to go back and redo my wedding, I think I'd go the French Country route. First of all, I'm totally obsessed with all things French and have a special place for all things French Country. There's just something about lavender and the simplicity of life that just vibes with me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So naturally, this morning, while I was perusing Pinterest, I couldn't help but look up French Country and lavender. And thus, this French Country Style Board was born. I can't wait to fill up with week with lovely and delicious French Country wedding ideas.</div>

I've seen my fair share of useless and lame wedding favors. And I think wedding favors tend to get a bad wrap for being less than exciting. However, if I were to attend a wedding and receive a cake ball as a favor, I would be more than excited! It's actually happened before - great wedding, by the way. And being one for tradition, I couldn't just eat the cake ball during the wedding, but I waited until the car ride home. </div>

I'm not sure what it is exactly about the ruffled cake, but there's something just so pretty, yet simple about them. I've seen tutorials on how to do it, but I think I'll leave it up to the pros to ruffle up a wedding cake.</div>

For our wedding, I totally had the idea that I'd pick a dress color and have my bridesmaids choose their own style of dress. Sadly, in spite of my best efforts to give them a choice, they deferred to me. And my idea of bridesmaids with mixed dresses evaporated. It's okay because they still looked fabulous.</div>

<br />
Typically, I don't much care for black shoes for a wedding, but these are just lovely. And they would definitely work post-wedding for any occasion requiring shoes with a little extra "something".<br />
<br />
And I'm just thinking about how instead of buying brand new wedding shoes, you could do this with an already broken in pair of shoes. Breaking in my wedding shoes was a pain, and I ended up wearing flip flops once the ceremony was over!<br />

The perfect outfit for me includes yoga pants, flip flops, and a comfortable tank. And if I have to go out with my husband, I'll slip into some jeans and a casual top. I'm not really a fashionista, though I'd admire the women who are. Every now and again, I require a short schooling in fashion designers.<br />
<br />
But I do watch Project Runway.<br />
<br />
This is a great outfit that would work for an engagement session, especially if you're the casual type like me.<br />
<br />
Today and tomorrow will be "rest days" of sorts, since my Sunday and Monday will be packed. Sunday, I'm helping style a session (one of the projects I've been working on!). Monday, I head down to Austin for the day. And crazy me decided it would be a good idea to do a turnaround trip!<br />

It's been super fun to think up outfit ideas, and I thought it would be perfect for planning an engagement session outfit. Sometimes it's hard to think of what to wear. And the possibilities are almost endless.<br />
<br />
Playing around in Polyvore brought me back to the days when I played with paper dolls as a kid. I used to try on all the different fashions. So fun!<br />
<br />
I thought I'd start off with a look that perfect for the fashionista, who loves a little bling and ruffles.<br />
