Wedding Shoe Spotlight. Two by Two.

Leave a comment

Weddings are a celebration of two’s. Two families becoming one. Two hearts on soul. Two lives. Too many choices…

But one of those choices that should be fun is deciding on the perfect shoes! And what could be better for the big day than a pair of fabulous boots? Not only will your toes by thanking you, but boots can be worn over and over again reminding you each time of that very special day.

Boots can add let your quirky side show…

While still being sexy and stylish.

They can be simple.

{Cowboy Boot Signs}

Or sweet.

{Flower girls}

But even more than that. They can be worn side by side…

{Bride; Groom}

So whether “Rustic Chic” is a thing of the past. Here’s to hoping these boots will be a trend that lasts.

And if you’re looking to cowboy up for your big day, you have to check out Cavender’s Boot City. They have amazing styles and the most adorable kicks for the minis of your special day. Here’s a personal pic of our own loot from the Austin, TX location (of course).

Add some shake to your cake…toppers! Cake Toppers with style.

Most of you know that when planning a wedding, you spend a lot of time becoming a fast friend of details. Blush vs. Pink. Roses vs. Peonies. Up vs. Down.

Even Jef wants to get caught up in the details…

But when fretting over the fine print, don’t forget to have fun with the details you can. The ones that you and your guests will likely remember rather than whether your programs matched your invites (truth, sorry ladies).

Such as spicing up your topper with mini salt & pepper shakers! Bonus: you can also keep these after the wedding as a fun reminder or perhaps a new “collectible” because that’s just what every newly wed couple needs.

ModCloth of course brings us some of the cutest, from elephant kisses to “truffles” that look like Toad from Mario. And a perk of cruising ModCloth for your cake toppers? Perusing their collections for new dresses, because let’s not forget there’s a bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner and honeymoon to shop plan for ladies!

 And then of course there’s the Firework Gallery, which never fails to provide the cute, the quirky, the thing you totally don’t need but is super adorable or funny so you must have. Like these.

But wait.

Then there’s that time I you Google’d “salt & pepper shakers” and wound up finding the MECCA OF ALL THINGS CUTE AND SHAKEY on none other than Amazon ~ compliments of Westland Giftware.

They seriously have all shakers you could ever want in the history of salt and peppa’.

From the standards like…

To the perfect toppers for animal obsessed lovers (me! me! me!).

{PENGUINS!}

And even miniature homages to our favorite famous couples (I swoon for Rhett & Scarlett…).

 

 So lovely ladies, what ways have you decided to celebrate the details?

DIY Beaded Sandals

The week was halved. The sun is shining. America celebrated its birthday under a sky of fireworks and with sea of smiling faces. Old Navy brought back their 1-Day $1 flip flop sale!

What better way to end this week than with a little DIY love for your feet (even better if you scored some new flippy floppies from Old Navy)?

This fun visual tutorial is easy to follow and even easier to customize to your own style. Like bling over beads? No problem. Prefer pink to white ribbon? No worries.

{Unfortunately I couldn’t find the original link, so please leave a comment if you know who to thank for this fun footsie find!}

How will you be styling up your footwear for this summer?

First day of summer. National PDA Day (on Hump Day…). June 20th you complete me.

Leave a comment

June 20th this one’s for you…

Oh and wait…

Did someone say PDA?

I would kiss you at city hall.

Or in traffic when our cars stall.

I would kiss you under the sea.

I would even kiss you in a taxi.

I would kiss you on the move.

Or in a dip if you’re really smooth.

I would kiss you in the rain.

I would kiss you on a train.

I would kiss you as a sign…

That my kisses are yours, if your heart is mine.

 {images}

 xoxo.

Besos.

Kusses.

Kisses.

Happy Tunesday!

Just a little Bruno Mars to start the day off.

I first heard this song on Glee and can’t say which version I love more. But either way, this is one of my favorite wedding songs!

Perfect for you and your girls to start the day off with during your pre-wedding getting ready session.

A fun way to kick off the reception festivities.

Or the perfect, quirky way to add in some personality as you walk down the aisle to your guy!

Enjoy Loves!

Tuesday Tuneday! (and this one time I got married and totally neglected my blog intentions…)

Leave a comment

Hi Loves! It’s been a long hiatus of blogging for me and will probably continue for another couple weeks. BUT I have a good excuse for neglecting my Robin Hooding responsibilities…

I’M GETTING MARRIED!

That’s right! A week from tomorrow I’ll be headed to Mexico with Zee German and our families to make this Livin’ in Sin thing legit. So in the meantime, check out the list of Bloggistas I Love to Stalk and…

Excuse me for Party Rockin’! xoxo

Happy Tuesday Tuneday! (okay so it’s Wednesday…)

Life has been a little crazy since the big move to LA. We’re still living out of boxes and haven’t found the perfect couch or desks to actually furnish our apartment. So Tuesday may have come and gone…BUT no fear because I bring gifts of amazing proposal love via The Knotty Bride (AKA Bloggess I Stalk Read the Mostest)!

This is the sweet story of Patrick and Kimberly.

Patrick teamed up with Shutter Life Productions to create this incredible story of their relationship and proposal. The detail and thought that went into this alone is enough to make you fake an eyelash in the eye. But the absolute adorableness of the couple will bring you to full out happy tears.

 

And how cute is Kimberly at the end of the video when she sees the ring again!?

Love. I LOVE THIS.

Hope you enjoy too!

It’s a shoe thing…part uno

Destination “I Do’s” can be one of the funnest ways to start your lives as husband and wife, but there are a few compromises that you might have to think about along the way. Especially when it comes to the wedding ensemble.

When I went to my pick out my dress, the consultants tried to steer me toward flowy chiffon and airy tulle dresses. But I was adamant I didn’t want my destination to dictate the dress. So for better, for worse I’ll be wearing a satin gown next month on the beaches of Mexico. With these heels.

Practical? No. Silly? Perhaps.

Perfect? Definitely! At least for me.

Just because there may be sea and sand doesn’t mean you can’t have satin and sparkles. And one of the best ways to bring bling to the beach is with some stylish sandals like these!

{T-Strap}{Floral}{Flip Flop}

Or if you’re looking for even more bling, try one of these crystalized creations.

{Grecian}{The “Tiarra”}{Lauralee Bling}

But what I truly love is a sandal I stumbled across in my many adventures of wedding “Robin Hooding”.

If you haven’t already heard of them or seen these, I highly suggest hoping over to seko designs – but the quick summary is that these loverly sandals are handmade by women in Uganda who are earning money for their education.

How could you not want to buy these after hearing about their story?

I have quite a few other sandaled soles for the perfect beachy wedding, but in an effort not to bombard you I’m going to restrain myself from visual overload. But why you’re awaiting post dos how about sharing which of these glamorous options would you pick for the most special walk of your life?

Happy Tunesday and Birthday to Zee German!

Happy Tunesday!

So this week was a pretty crazy one for us. We packed up and left our Seattle digs on Thursday morning, arriving in sunny LA by Friday night (can you say overly ambitious?)! After driving circles around the Greater Lala land area, we finally settled in on our new “home” just in time to celebrate Zee German’s birthday!

So in honor of the most amazing man, partner, best friend, mentor and ex-boyfriend – I am dedicating today’s tune to ZQT himself! It has little to do with weddings, but everything to do with us (the belting German tunes from the top of our lungs in the “privacy” of his Z350 us).

What are your favorite songs to sing like no one’s listening?

xoxo
