Who doesn’t love a good blowout? It’s the secret to gorgeous supermodel / Lauren Conrad / Kate Hudson-style hair. I just read about this place, Dry Bar, in LA and it is one of the best ideas I’ve seen in awhile. I just wish it wasn’t so far away so I could pop in for...

Gone Country. BamaJam 2010.
The last three days have been chock-full of country music, beer, the outdoors, mud, cowboy boots and camping– not exactly my usual scene. All this and I’d have to say my first BamaJam experience in Enterprise, Alabama (along with 142,000+ other people) was pretty dang good. Hunter’s birthday was Friday the 4th and we headed...

Invitations Have Left the Building!
After much browsing other blogs, flipping through wedding magazines, clipping, contemplating, creating, font-changing, re-creating, and editing, I was finally able to design an invitation I was satisfied with and now I can officially say they are DONE! They are black and white (of course), but I didn’t want them to be all solid colors, too...

To Have & To Hold
More wedding stuff! Getting tired of it yet? Less than two months to go til the big day! There is still SO much left to do even though it seems like I’ve checked off so many big items already. Luckily, Jennifer and mom have been making sure I’m on top of everything and Jennifer even...

A Grand Ol’ Time
As the lucky girl (and big kid at heart) that I am, I was asked to attend the VIP opening of the new Le Grand Cirque show taking place outside Destin at Grand Boulevard all summer long. I brought Mom as my date and we had no idea what we were in for! I have...

Fab Hair in The City
I just started catching up on my favorite junk TV addiction and I can’t help but notice how fabulous everyone’s hair looks on The City. Straight, wavy, up, down. It all looks good. I feel like I’ve gotten into a hair rut lately and these styles are great inspiration to change it up a little....

Wedding Shoe Shopping
Since almost everything in, about or related to the wedding in any way is black or white, I feel like black shoes are really the only choice to compliment my white dress. I’m still looking for the perfect pair, but I want them to be fun, flirty and not too uptight. These Badgley Mischka’s are...

Runners Have Arrived!
After much debate about black linens, white linens, black and white linens, or maybe a splash of color, I finally decided on black and white runners for all of the dining tables. It was a little harder than I thought to find the right scale pattern on material that doesn’t look cheap or cheesy. Finally,...

A Little Country with Colt Ford
This whole country boy romance thing I’ve got going is definitely a transition. I’ve been wearing more jeans, fewer dresses and finding myself in the outdoors a lot more without high heels on my feet. I’ve even found myself at the Lower Alabama Lounge in Destin surrounded by a crowd full of country folks packed...

Black and White Goody Basket
My sister is the best! Check out my black & white goody basket. Among other things, I’ve got black and white thank you notes, a floral platter, a necklace, a perfume bottle (which I collect) cool curtain rings, a damask throw, satin hangers, a sweet clipboard and a handy to-do list. Perfect for the bride-to-be...

Jean Bling
Check this out! If you need to dress up an outfit in a pinch, the latest fix is just adding a little jewelry to your jeans. It has nothing to do with securing your wallet on a chain (not exactly top of the style list), but just adds a little interest to an otherwise plain...

The Best Accessory
I think I’m the happiest girl in the world! I’m now sporting the most beautiful ring I’ve ever seen on my left ring finger and have a handsome fiance to call my own! Hunter did such an amazing job with everything and I can’t even believe its all happening. I always thought it was cheesy...

New Kicks
Check out the cool new shoes I just added to my collection! My mom surprised me with these babies after she discovered a sale that was too good to resist here! Booties, platforms, Mary Janes! There were all $30 or less, if you can believe it. I can’t wait to wear those BCBG heels in...

Breakfast at Gravel Road
I finally made it to Gravel Road for breakfast – twice. It’s that good. If you haven’t been yet, then believe me when I say you’re missing out. Everything is delicious. So far I’ve tried the 3 eggs plate and the Pigs in a Blanket with Hunter opting for short stacks both times. They open...
