counting down to beauty bliss

I’m so excited Sephora is FINALLY coming to Destin Commons in March! Sure, we have an Ulta or two to hold me over, but I need Sephora now. It’s a makeup addict’s dream come true.

from Hunter & Jami plus one

Here are about half of the cards I finally mailed today. Sorry if you’re on the list and you don’t get one by Christmas. They also say Happy New Year, so as long as they arrive in 2010, I think I’m safe. It actually didn’t take as long as I thought to pick up the...

a new addition

What an exciting year this has been so far and it’s only October! I’ve definitely been a lucky girl in 2010. A romantic engagement in February, showers, lots of planning, a beautiful wedding in July, a fabulous honeymoon, moving into a new house and now? For starters, a snazzy new car! Do you love it?...

Soda Throwback

How cool is this? I was in Target and saw that Pepsi has throwback packaging for Pepsi, Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew! I love the old fonts and designs. Maybe it’s just the nerd in me….

Seeing Red

It didn’t take long after Hunter and I got engaged in February that I started getting these grand ideas of repainting the house, decorating, buying new furniture — the whole nine yards. It also didn’t take long for me to realize how expensive redecorating projects are and how much work it actually takes to do...

Honeymooning

St. Lucia was fabulous!! It was wonderfully relaxing and romantic. The beach was pretty and the people were all so nice. For the most part, we were just bums, going from the beach to the pool to the bar to eat and to sleep. It was great. The only picture I didn’t get was of...

Invitation How-To’s

While the wedding and honeymoon are slowly fading to blissful memores, there are still lots of details I haven’t shared. How about the invites for one? They set the tone of the wedding and really are the first impression your friends and family have of the big event. I sent more thought on this than...

Good morning, sunshine!

Starting the day with a fresh latte from our new Tassimo thanks to the Akinses! No need for a Starbucks run with this baby. If you’re a coffee drinker without one of these, trust me, you’re missing out!

Counting Down and Setting Up

I can’t believe our wedding day is already less than two weeks away! It really seems like we were just engaged yesterday, but in reality that was months and months ago. Well, five to be exact. Almost everything is in order for the big day with just a few odd projects and little things to...

Candy-Colored Heels

As much as I love all things black and white, I decided early on that I wanted all the bridesmaids to wear fun and fabulous shoes for the wedding. I had bright jewel tones in mind for a nice pop against their black dresses, so I set out to see what my options were online...

Wedding Hair Inspiration

When it comes to the beauty side of weddings, there’s no better place to find inspiration and up-to-date styles than on the red carpet. Celebrities have access to the best hair and makeup artists who prime and primp pretty faces and fabulous hair practically every day for big events — maybe not weddings, but movie...

The Bridesmaid Dress

The first bridesmaid dress has arrived! My friend (and BM) Danielle just got hers in today and I can’t wait to see how they all look together. It took a little searching and lots of browsing to find just what I was looking for. Since the wedding will be in July and the heat factor...

Summer Rain Clouds Rolling In…

It’s officially the start of summer and I love summer time at the beach. Sure it’s hot and humid, with little chance of a good hair day, but it’s also such a relaxing time of year. The pace is slower, the mood is lighter and the skies could open up and let pouring rain escape...

Stars in Stripes

There’s something about the widening power of stripes that keeps people from sporting them, but they can be super cute when worn with a little fashion flair. It’s smarter to keep the stripes small and just as easy to dress them up with a skirt and heels as it is to dress them down with...

My Hair’s New BFF

If you haven’t heard about Moroccanoil yet and you still have hair on your head, I suggest you get some of this stuff ASAP. It’s a miracle worker. I picked up the latest copy of People Style Watch only to see that one of my favorite famous faces says it’s her key to great summer...
