Mad ♥ Mondays
Happy Monday! How are you all adjusting to the time change? I’m still not super liking the whole, getting out of bed an hour earlier thing, but I sure do love the extra hour of light in the evening!
Today is all about ShopBop’s new Wedding Line! Woo! With all of these sites starting new wedding lines there are so many choices for today’s bride! I picked a few of my favorite from ShopBop….apparently I’m fond of the short ones! Maybe it’s because I’m itching for summertime?!
Head over there and check them out! There are adorable bridesmaids dresses as well!!
I’m off to go hang out with the Gma =) Have a fabulous Monday!!

xoxo ♥

So, I totally had this all ready to go yesterday and then things got in the way and I never got around to posting it! Who knows what day it is anyways
Let’s get down to the good stuff.
#1. How many of you watched the Academy Awards Sunday night? I gotta say, I loved Mila Kunis’ dress the most! It’s so romantic with that lace and pastel. Oh, and she’s my total girl crush so I just think she’s flat out adorable as is.

#2. Oh Kelly Ann from The Flowerchild Dwelling makes THE best mixtapes. Like, I wish I had them on a cassette and could walk around all day listening to them. She also features some pretty amazing artists. Go to her blog and check out all the goodness, she’s pretty much amazing =)

#3. I was perusing through my friend Meg’s blog and found these TO DIE FOR adorable DIY candle teacup tutorial. Meg, I didn’t know you were so crafty?

#4. I am loving these modern wedding invitations from Oh, So Beautiful Paper! I’m not super into modern but there’s something about this set that I really like! Maybe it’s the simplicity? If you’re looking for inspiration for your invitations go check out their blog! It’s chock full!

#5. Oh Design Sponge, who do you have to have me loving every.single.post? This Scandinavian heart is actually a DIY! I think it would look so chic in a home!

#6. Out of the millions of fashion blogs…..the hundreds of dresses posted DAILY…how is it that Wynter and I choose THE exact same dress to swoon over? Lucky for us, it’s from H&M and cheap….but, no where near us! So we’ll just look. So those of you who are….go get this dress. It’s adorable.
and then send one to Wynter and one to me =)

I hope you all have a fabulous week! It’s the first day of March, which means, it’s boyfriends birthday month, bff’s bridal shower month, almost springtime month, one month closer to bff’s wedding and I only have a sentence of my toast done month, and so on….

It’s one of my favorite holidays ♥
{besides my birthday, Thanksgiving & Xmas, that is}
Valentines Day is the one day out of the entire year that you won’t get bagged on for being totally and completely mushy. I love that everything and everyone around the web today is speaking the love language. These are just a FEW of my favorite Valentines Day posts out in the interwebz ♥
#1. Some adorable coffee cup wrappers with an extra lovey dovey message. Go download your own template and share with someone you love.
{via Eat Drink Chic}
#2. I’m a sucker for prints. Especially when they’re all about love. I could have every single one of these and be one happy girl.*hint hint* =)
{via Green Wedding Shoes}
#3. Hearts on walls. I could die happy. I really want to do the Polaroid heart sometime in the near future. I’ve been shooting a lot with my Instax so hopefully I can have enough photos to do it soon!
{via EAD}
ps. Elizabeth Anne Designs has a perfect Valentines Day post up so be sure to browse through the whole post ♥
#4. Go print out your free Valentines Day heart print! How adorable is this? You can change the colors of the hearts to match your decor and everything!
{via Oh So Beautiful Paper}
#5. Have you wrapped your hunny’s gift yet? Not to worry, Design Sponge has some adorable wrapping ideas!
{via Design Sponge}
#6. & last but not least, my favorite. This pillow makes me happy. Because really, it’s true =) Wouldn’t this be a nice Valentines gift from your love?
{via Coco + Kelley}

#7. Need a good playlist for today? I have THE PERFECT one!! Lydia from Ever Ours made the most perfect mix! I’ve been listening to it all weekend long!
Go listen to it NOW. Put it on repeat all day and hug your lover ♥

Here’s Darren’s V-Day gift. I wrapped a copy paper box & realized that the poster I got for him wouldn’t fit inside. So I sat and pondered about what the heck to do with it. Then *ding ding* I would make it and arrow going through a heart! My “arrow” is a little wonky but you (and he) get the idea. My mom was astonished by my creativity =)

I spent the weekend at the coast with my boy and pup. We explored the area of Montana De Oro yesterday and holy mother of all things beautiful!!!! That place is absolutely gorgeous. We could not stop ooing and ahing each corner we went around! I took a ton of photos with my iPhone (& dlsr, & polaroid) and used Instagram to edit them! Here’s a little collage of our afternoon!! The Park overlooks all of Morro Bay and has the most insanely beautiful view of the sunset. There were a TON of people there at sunset shooting photos!

We stopped in the trees and used my new remote and shot photos!! It was SO fun and these pictures make me grin ear to ear ♥
To make this day {& post} even more mushy, here are some sweet lyrics from Lydia’s Valentines Mix.
Love, it’s a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary
But it’s a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I’ll love you, I’ll love you
Love, I don’t need those things
I don’t need no ring
I don’t need anything
But you with me
‘Cause in your company
I feel happy, oh so happy and complete
And it’s a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I’ll love you, I’ll love you
Yeah, it’s a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I’ll love you, I’ll love you
So won’t you be my honey bee?
Giving me kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine
So won’t you be my honey bee?
Giving me sweet kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine
{Kina Grannis}




Happy Valentines Day my sweet friends ♥
