Every once in a while I’m caught up in big kids work and forget about my Robin Hooding shenanigans.

And then something like this comes along and totally sets me straight…

Paolo Sebastian 2012

Straight down a sparkly, distracting, Pinterest-filled tunnel.

ooohhhh shiny

Monday Music

This has been stuck in my head since watching the last installment of Twilight. And since sharing is caring, I hope you all enjoy my “pass” to you.

Besides, who doesn’t love a song fit for sparkly skin and eternal love?

Another year older. Another year wiser?…

The hubs and I try to keep goal setting and visioning as a full-time, year-round gig. We unofficially made it our habit to have Saturday breakfast and pour over our big dreams early on in our relationship. It was one of the reasons I knew he was the one. Because he was my strategic partner in life, not just love.

But even though we strive to make goal setting a habit, with another new year rolling around, I still can’t help but feel rejuvenated and excited with the promise of a “clean slate” and new beginnings.

I’m just a sucker for big dreaming…

carpe diem

Just Wishing and Hoping…

I had tried to find a way to get bulk dandelion “wishers” for my wedding to give to guests or have “thrown” as we walked down the aisle after the ceremony. Alas, our wedding was in Mexico so we weren’t able to smuggle them over.

However, I still LOVE the idea and offer it out there to any of your brides-to-be. I thought it was an ultra romantic idea to have “wishes” blown around us as a new couple and to give wishes to our friends and family for joining us on our wedding day.

But whether you’re able to live out my (or your own because I’m sure I’m not the first to have thought it up) little wedding wish, I love that you can still wear a sweet little wishing necklace…

This week in Robin Hooding…

It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these, but it doesn’t mean I haven’t been inspired by all the gorgeousness online. These are just a few of my latest favs. Hope you enjoy!

DIY Sequin Cocktail Glass Collars

One of my absolute favorite stalk-worthy wedding bloggistas has posted a fun DIY right in time for the holidays! How cute would your NYE champagne be decked in sequins this year?!

But of course you couldn’t dress up your cocktail while neglecting yourself…

Hair Flair

Voila! Hair flair if you dare. Lovely locks won’t be complete without one of these.

That is unless you have a crush worthy style like this

Half Updo

With some curl. A little wave. A bit of criss-cross action and a twist. This style is simple, yet elegant from wedding aisles to holiday parties!

And speaking of parties, don’t forget the little one! Deck her out with her very own sparkles using these fabric stickers (FABRIC GLITTER STICKERS!!! LOVE!)

Confetti Dot Skirt

And what holiday would be complete without a little bling?

Jennifer Stano - Wedding Bling

 

But honestly. Let’s. Just. Stop.

How beyond gorgeous and covetable is Mrs. Stano David’s ring bling? I mean seriously. Now that’s a Christmas Miracle…

Ah…but back to reality, how adorable would it be for your future hubby to pop the question while picking out a Christmas Tree? That’s the premise behind this lovable little post.

Christmas Proposal

So whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa…

Globe Guest Book

 

Wherever you are around the world.

I hope you enjoyed this week’s pursuits in Robin Hooding! Happy Holidays everyone!

Kate Spade you complete me

Birthdays

Holidays

Baby Showers. Weddings.

All gift giving occasions ever. And then there’s Pinterest. Pretty much the answer to the big kids’ wish list. Spotlighting as top covetables today? Kate Spade.

Dear Santa…

Kate Spade - HandsomeStranger Bag

Making travel so much more fun…

Kate Spade - Pride and Prejudice Clutch

Because I’ve already found my Mr. Darcy #ohhihandsomehusband

But let’s just be honest. This next one is obviously for me.

Kate Spade - Sprinkles MallorySPRINKLES MALLORY!?! I mean Kate (because we’re on first name basis, Kate and me) herself named this after me. #fate

Any favorite wish list items out there?

OMCuteness Overload

THIS. KID.

Hipster Baby

 

Died. This kid just killed me with her cuteness. I  mean. HIPSTER BABEH!

And apparently you can totally make her adorable knit scarf (hypothetically, because if you’re me and all knitting projects end up looking like sorry attempts at Celtic knots. Well then, you’re out of luck) if you hop over to this lovely guide —–> HERE {cue cuteness}

And in other news, it’s 12 min. past the last repeating date of a century.

Written in Ink

For anyone whose hubby also seems to think that couple’s tattoos are necessary, you might want to check out Keltie Colleen’s collection on Buzzfeed of the 31 Best Couple Tattoos.

Hope you enjoy!

…While I go try to convince Zee German tattoos do not equal divorce-proof marriage

Case and point. {but cute tattoos…}

Check out the Keltie’s full gallery. These are just a few of my favs.
