We’re halfway through the week! That’s always a great time, isn’t it? I’ve recently realized just how completely dependent I am on my phone (probably not the best, I know!). I rely on it for directions, restaurant advice, and as my own personal shopping mall. As often as I see it, I tend to get bored with the same ol’ case day in and day out. Enter Society 6 and their unparalleled selection of cases! There is truly something for everyone on their site. They have several categories including typography, animals, photography, black & white and illustration. I can honestly spend an hour browsing through everything. The “Ain’t nobody got time for that” one is my favorite! My husband and I certainly love Sweet Brown and this is a pretty acknowledgement of that. Anyway, have a great Wednesday!

Weekend Moments: Anniversary Edition

Happy Monday! Hope it was a wonderful weekend. The third week in June is extremely busy for us: we have birthdays and our anniversary, so it’s essentially super fun! We started out with family birthday festivities, friend celebrations and another family feast. It was fantastic! Our little nephews were participating in the mutton busting portion of a local rodeo, so we went and watched them channel their inner cowboy. Have you ever seen such an event? It’s adorable, hilarious and terrifying all at the same time. You’d think that riding on a small sheep would be essentially pretty safe, right? Well, one little boy left on a stretcher! We were super nervous after that, but our nephews did well and we got some great pictures. The best part of the rodeo? The strawberries & cream. The rodeo is part of a summer event called Strawberry Days, so there are some great treats to be had. Love.
Our anniversary (first one!) was the perfect day. Husband started the day by presenting a massive box and flowers. He wrote a sweet card as an introduction to the most wonderful gift: this Pippa bag! This was what my first bag (Christmas 2011) was supposed to be, but somehow I ended up sending him the wrong picture on my wishlist and I got a different color. Oh well…worked out well in the end for me!
We then left for Park City for a fun evening! We had dinner at Ruth’s Chris, were grateful for a complimentary anniversary cheesecake (it even had a candle) then went back to the Waldorf for swimming. We sort of had two desserts because we had to eat our traditional anniversary cake. We had to, right? All in all, it was a splendid weekend! I’m so grateful for this great guy.

First Year, Best Year

Happy Friday guys! Tomorrow is super exciting for us–it’s our first anniversary! This year has gone by unbelievably fast. Every single day has been wonderful. He is the kindest, cutest and funniest guy I know. I’m grateful every day to be his wife. I wanted to share a portion of the happiest day of our lives as captured by the ultra-talented, David Perry! I knew I wanted him to capture my wedding video since about 10th grade. Literally. Check it out! You’ll see why. If you want to see more details from our wedding, you can read here.

Happy Anniversary to my great husband!

Workin’ It

Top || Skirt || Necklace (Similar option) || Heels || Clutch

Happy Thursday everyone! I thought I’d share a tailored look that would work well at the office (this obviously depends on your office) or even just a professional event. I have never really bought in to the idea that workwear has to be stuffy or boring, so I always try to mix up my outfits with either fun shoes or bold jewelry. These pieces are easily adaptable and you can easily throw a blazer, cardigan or slim jacket over the top. I love the cage sandals because they look so put together, but they are truly comfy and easy to pair with numerous looks. I love the color combination of the necklace! It’s called the Butterfly Wing Necklace, which is perfect, don’t ya think?

Have a wonderful day! Thanks for reading!
