Our Wedding - The Favorites

On Easter, I got a call from my mother in law wishing me happy Easter, as well as a happy 6 month wedding anniversary! I'm glad someone keeps track of these things, because I certainly haven't been. I guess six months over the course of our (almost nine year) relationship doesn't seem like that long to me at this point. But it's true! It's already been six months since we stood up in front of all of our friends and family and said "YOU GUYS IT'S THE TWO OF US FOREVER AND ALWAYS AND AIN'T NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT NOW LET'S DANCE."

In celebration of that, I thought I'd share some of my very favorite photos from that day with you all. You may have seen some of these in other places on the Internet, but I wanted to curate the best. At least-- what I think are the best! Our wedding photos were taken by Paper Hearts Vintage Photography and our venue was The Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, New York. Enjoy!




I'm also thinking about sharing our wedding songs/playlist with you guys. It's a set of 17 songs in a playlist in my iTunes that I still listen to on the regular to remind me about the day. Let me know if that's something you'd like to see!

The Top Ten

A few weeks ago, I filmed a video talking about my TOP TEN favorite nail polishes-- and because I have suddenly lost my camera memory card and could not film a Tumblr Lesson today, I decided to finally edit it.

Stitch Fix #1 and Spring Lookbook

HELLO.

Jeez, it's been a long time. I apologize. March was crazy (excuses, excuses.) Anyway, I have been planning to share this little post with you for a while. You may or may not have seen the Spring Lookbook video I posted last week on beautifullybookish. And you may or may not have noticed a few of the items I'm wearing are from Stitch Fix. That's because it was my birthday on March 29 (I'm 27! Eek!) and I decided to treat myself to a Fix.

I feel like bloggers know about Stitch Fix, but in case you don't: it's an online-based personal styling service that sends you a box of clothing and accessory goodies whenever you request one! You keep what you love, and send back what you don't. Here's a look at what I received in my first Fix: 

Everything comes beautifully packaged with a personal note from a stylist.


 The breakdown:

 
41Hawthorn Topher Lurex Striped Fit & Flare Dress - $78
Verdict: Cute, but a bit long on me (often a problem.) Would be a great work dress with a blazer, but I work from home sooo... I wear leggings and pajamas ;) Sent back.


Sanctuary Rizzo Skinny Ponte Pants - $88
Verdict: really cute and comfy, but very long and a little big on me. Very similar to my J. Crew pixi pants, but did not fit as well. Sent back.


Loveappella Denise Stripe & Dot Print Dolman Top - $48
Verdict: SO my style and fit beautifully! Kept.



41Hawthorn Colibri Solid Tab Sleeeve Blouse - $48
Verdict: A little long (seeing a trend here? It's tough to be 5'1") but I love the color and style. Kept.


Pomelo Aleah V-Neck Heathered Dolman Sleeve Shirt - $48
Verdict: I love a good dolman. This is great for comfy, casual days. Kept.

Do you guys like the items I received? I did! If you'd like to see them on me and see how I styled the items I kept, make sure you check out my Spring Lookbook video here:
