Hello my lovelies! So sorry that I have been so absent as of late! Mr. Lemonade and I have been so darn busy running around trying to get the holidays squared away (which may or may not include us breaking multiple post office machines and running for our lives from the angry villagers still lined up with their packages). We did, however, take a quick…

So, as I mentioned last week I made my way to SA for my hair and makeup trial. Overall I am pretty happy with the results. Roseanne is incredibly adorable and very talented — she even gave my sister a haircut for free while we were sitting there!

*Any of my grrrls remember this song?!

This weekend I’ll be heading back to SA to celebrate my father’s birthday with the fam (Happy b-day, Dad!). Since I’m a big fan of multi-tasking I’ll also have my hair and makeup trial that afternoon.

My overall wedding day ‘look’ isn’t something that I’ve put much thought into. I’ve known from the beginning that up-dos aren’t for me. I’ve…

I still have a major crush on Mr. Gocco (what can I say, when I fall, I fall hard) and had to share these fantastic finds with y’all.

Do you get tons of sleep each and every night? Are you young and fabulous without a care in the world to cause pesky fine lines and wrinkles? Do you eat a fabulously balanced diet and consume your 8-10 glasses of H2O a day? Well then, you’re nothing like me and this product may be completely unnecessary for you. If, however, you are like me…

We’ve been planning our wedding for almost a year now. It’s funny to me because (as I’ve mentioned a million times before) I NEVER thought I was the marrying type. I’ve always been a bit Bohemian and anti-establishment, and a freakin’ Disney-princess-white-wedding was never something I was into. NEVER in a million years. Then I got engaged and BAM! I became this bride-to-be person. I…

Well hello, long time, I know… It’s been a CRAZY couple of days here and I have so much to catch up on! I haven’t unplugged for this long in years and I still feel a bit out of it (you should see how overwhelmed my poor Google Reader is right now…).

Anyhow, Mr. Lemonade and I finally finished moving into the new home and out of the…

I’m a BIG fan of monograms. Ever since I was a wee one my mom dressed me up in little jumpers, bibs, sweaters, and the like that proudly sported my initials. My collection has continued to grow over the years and now includes totes, purses, and many housewares. I’ve stopped ordering monogrammed items for myself, as in less than five short months, my monogram will…

My mother has impeccable taste. Ever since I was a little girl I have adored her chic style and absorbed her lessons on fashion. We believe in quality, well made goods that will last a lifetime. We tend to shy away from anything with logos but have a deep appreciation for iconic pieces and craftsmen. Anyhow, many many moons ago my mother and I were…

I’ve been really watching my weight and working really hard to get in shape and lose the post-smoking weight. A while ago I concocted a little program for myself built on tons of research I’d done online and with nutritionists. I work out (almost) everyday and restrict my calories. The restricting of the calories has been pretty easy for me, as I have relied on…

While I’ll be the first to admit a bridal clutch falls pretty low on the list of priorities, I’ll also be the first to admit that I have a bit of a bag addiction.

When I moved into my current home, I had a shelf installed to run the entire perimeter of my room to house my collection. Suffice it to say I will be adding…

Mr. Lemonade and I went home to San Antonio once again this weekend. We were on a mission to find the perfect rehearsal dinner venue. Now, you may be thinking — didn’t we already have the RD venue in the bag? Well, yes and no. You see, we love the place, we really do, but we have had building concerns RE: location. The restaurant is located on…

I love topiaries! I briefly entertained the idea of using them as centerpieces for all of the guest tables. That idea got scrapped, but I still wanted to incorporate a few topiaries here and there. After some research on the interwebs I found some adorable inspiration and determined our sweets buffet the perfect home for a few.
