Pretty Pinteresting

I'm not sure whether this week is going by slowly or quickly. I'm thinking the days are going by slowly and the nights after work are going by too quickly. Funny how that works. Speaking of shortness...

I think that saying goes a lot deeper than just buying shoes. It's about the little things we find ourselves obsessing over that really don't matter. You only live once. Why not? OR Why bother?

[via]

I thought this was a joke at first. Nope. It's real. It's an app that shows you where you're walking while you type. Genius yet also hilarious. This is what our world has come to. And have you heard about the cars that drive themselves?!

[via]

I saw this and totally had a "Why didn't I think of that??" moment. Take some stickies, throw some color on them and, BAM!

[via]

Who doesn't love Lauren Conrad? These little rhinestones spelling out that sweet word just warm my heart :)

[via]

I am absolutely loving the look of this flatware wrapped in colored thread. Such a simple way to add some pop to your dinner table on a special occasion.

[via]

Admit it. This has happened to you too. This would ALWAYS happen when I was driving with my mom in her car. She'd hear the siren, flip, turn the sound completely down and say frantically, "Was that real or in the song?" Oh, Mom :)

What do you think? I'm kind of scared of mirrors but how could I pass this awesome mirror up?

I am pretty grateful for Pinterest. I gain so much inspiration there, not to mention some awesome laughs, trips down memory lane, and ideas for the future! Stop by The Vintage Apple to see the latest pins from a ton of other bloggers!

My pins have been all over the place lately, kind of like my life - it's been a crazy week kicking off my Etsy shop and what not! To check out my pins, you can follow me on Pinterest here :)

Wedding Wednesday | The Dress Shot

I've been pretty active on Pinterest, if I do say so myself. No matter what is going on in my life or what I need to find inspiration for, I can find it on there. AND, Pinterest finally changed their Terms of Use! As many of you know, I'm a lover of wedding planning and have been for quite some time. About 50% of my boards on Pinterest are wedding-related. Don't believe me? Come follow me here :)

As a former bride, I can honestly say that aside from the first moments of having a ring on your finger, the other moment where you'll think to yourself, "Holy cow! I'm getting married!" is when you try on wedding gowns. Sigh. I could go on and on about that but today, I just wanted to share some of my favorite photos I've found highlighting the wedding dress on the bride's special day.

It will mainly be up to your photographer and their stellar creativity to determine where to place or hang the dress to capture it in all its glory. If you're like me, you will consider that when choosing what venue to get ready in :)

Wedding dresses look gorgeous up against the light of a big, bright window and this is how most gown shots are captured:

When browsing the wedding websites and Pinterest, I also came across some of the most creative, fun, and beautiful dress shots that I've seen. Some of the shots really encompass the surroundings and scenery:

The rest of the dress shots are each unique in their own way. I love what the photographers have done to really set the mood.

I think that last shot is definitely one of my favorites! It's so unique and beautiful.

And, just because I love you all and know you're begging to see the shot of my dress, here it is for you ;)

I sure love that dress :)

If you've already gotten married, did you have a dress shot taken? What does it look like? If you haven't, where do you dream of your dress shot being taken?

Side and End Table Decor

Thank you for all the love and support on yesterday’s post/this difficult time of my life. I have been trying to get back into the swing of things as much as possible, but, I am realizing thing just never will be “normal” again. This blog’s tone may shift for a while. However, I do want to thank each and every one of you who have taken the time to send me a thought, email, an even a virtual hug :) I look forward to writing you all back.

Now, if you knew my mom, you’d know how wonderful of an interior decorator she was. In honor of her today for Pinteresting Wednesday, I will be sharing some of my favorite decor pins! More specifically - my mom was a genius at deciding what little vignettes to place on side and end tables :) So, I’ll be showing you some of those cute pins I found!

Pins and Loves | Beginning of November

It’s Pinteresting Wednesday! If you’re new to my blog {first of all, welcome!} I take part in one of the greatest link-ups of all time called Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday hosted over at The Vintage Apple. As always, I’m super excited to share some of my favorite pins this week. If you follow me on Pinterest, you’d probably think I’m planning a wedding. Not the case. However, I seriously do blame my background in event planning for my love of the Wedding & Events category on Pinterest.

So, I’ve weeded out most of my wedding-related pins and will save those for another time! :)

Hidden dishwasher. Such a beautiful thing!

Precious first reaction to his bride, huh?

Seriously? I mean, hopefully it’s comfy…?

Adorable “twist” to the ponytail!

Speaking of Pinterest, my iPhone app has been crashing like crazy lately. I tried re-uploading it but it’s still finicky. Please tell me I’m not alone in this!

I’m also linking up with Jamie for What I’m Loving Wednesday!

I’m Loving… this Halloween video from the Ellen DeGeneres Show! Sar tweeted about it and I thought it was the funniest thing ever! This is exactly how I act in a haunted house.

I’m Loving… that I have another blate planned for this weekend! WOO HOO! Can’t wait to meet this girl!

I’m Loving… whenever I find a new reality show that I like. I randomly turned a show on E! called “Dirty Soap” about the lives of some soap stars {even though I don’t even watch soaps.} I’ve only watched an episode so we'll see how it goes. Anyone else watch this?

I’m Loving… The *NSync Home for Christmas album. I’m sorry I’m not sorry. I even listen to this at the gym. “The First Noel” on this album is probably one of my favorite songs of all time.

I’m Loving… finding new music that I love! Do you remember Robyn? {circa 1995} Well, I just heard some of her new songs and I’m loving her latest album. If you’re into “dance music” check it out! What new songs are you loving? I’ll always take recommendations :)

I’m Loving… the gym. Still. That’s a good thing!

What are YOU loving this week?

The Last Pins/Loves of October

Gosh, I love Pinterest. I’m so glad I’m back on board with it. It truly amazes me to see some of the things, ideas, and facts you can learn and discover on there. Why didn’t I think of that?!

I’m linking up with The Vintage Apple to show you some of my random favorites this week!

Crown molding painted and hung up on the wall to hang your heels on. Genius!

{via}

I mean, do I even need to say anything? I love this shower!

{via}

1st ballet slippers. I love this idea! {Mom, we need to dig these little puppies out}

{via}

I saw this home theatre on HGTV years ago and found it again. I mean, who doesn’t want this in their dream house? I’d be worried about the candles on the steps though!

{via}

This has been a staple meal for me. It’s fresh, filling, and delicious! They threw some granola in too which I can’t wait to try :)

{via}

This is absolutely amazing and true.

{via}

I need this for next season!

{via}

I’m totally sappy and sentimental this week with Pinterest, huh? But, seriously… how adorable is this bride with her little flower girl in the tutu? The cutest part is that she is on her tippy-toes!

{via}

I know, I’m literally the only girl in the entire world who is not obsessed with Rachel Zoe, but I do admit, this outfit rocks. Question: Are boots like that comfortable??

Today, I’m also linking up with Jamie for What I’m Loving Wednesday!

I’m loving closets that are not my own but that maybe {just maybe} I can have someday?

{via}

I’m loving challenging myself with weights at the gym

{via}

I used to only care about cardio but now I focus on both. I’m fascinated with seeing the definition in my muscles as I lift!

I’m loving my faithful bloggy commenters/emailers who show me love on every post even when I’m 700+ items behind on my Google Reader :( I’m like, pretty sad about how little I’ve been able to blog lately, but, life just gets in the way sometimes…

I’m loving that {av} from {long distance loving} has put together some amazing blogger meet-ups and that I’ll be attending the #bloggerblitz right here in DC! That pretty lady has some serious talent :) DC bloggers, hop on over to her blog to find out the details!

That about sums it up for this Wednesday. Feel free to find me on Pinterest :)
