Hello there! Well, this is officially my first blog post as a married woman! We had a truly amazing wedding and honeymoon. Either one of them really couldn't have been any better. Eveything went so smoothly with the wedding and reception. We had the most PERFECT weather, too!! It was sunny and warm, but not hot. We lucked out, because earlier in the week it had been very hot and humid. It cooled down just in time. It was just so lovely to spend the day and night with so many people who love us and wanted to share in our special day. It is crazy how after so much planning and stess, the day is over so fast. It's also a relief to not have to plan anymore!
Today Bob and I were going to go to my cousin's house for a family picnic, but it got postponed until tomorrow because of the weather. It's supposed to be nicer out this weekend. So, today I'm going to take it easy. I'm going to work out, probably run to Target, read, and not much else. It's very nice to unwind after our time away. We were pretty busy in New Orleans! There was just so much to do and see. We walked A LOT. That's what we do on all our trips. We took a bus and street car a couple times, but other than that it was all walking.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my new Pin Up Girl Clothing Jenny oranges dress. It is my dream dress! I had been waiting so long for it to be available. They first showed it on their Instagram back arond February. It is truly gorgeous, and even more beautiful in person. The shade of orange in the dress is my favourite shade of orange. It's nice and bright and vivid, without being neon. I wasn't sure if I had shoes that would match the dress, other than black flats or flip flops. But, I was happy to discover there is yellow in the dress, too! So, the dress perfectly matches my yellow B.A.I.T. Footwear wedges.
This dress is actually easier to zip than my other Jenny dresses. There is a little bit more room in the waist. I love that it comes with a matching orange belt, and I also love that the straps and bottom of the dress are orange. My new Luxulite oranges necklace arrived too, and just looks so great paired with this dress! I couldn't resist also pairing my Luxulite oranges brooch with this outfit.
I will share pictures and write more about the wedding and honeymoon soon!

Hello there! I know I just posted pictures of me wearing my new ice cream print dress that my mom made me, but, here are some more! Ha. I just had to pair the dress with my new Keds sprinkles print sneakers! I'm obsessed with these sneaks. They are so perfect for me! They were on sale for $35, with free shipping. They have free shipping on all orders! I've actually never had a pair of Keds. (That I can remember.)
When I found them online they only had one size left! A size 10. I'm a size 9...so I was praying they wouldn't be toooo big on me. They are big, but I bought these inserts to put in the back of the shoes, and it does help a bit. They are still a little big, but it's fine. :)
The first few pictures are from my trip to visit a possible reception site for our wedding! I went with my mom and Bob yesterday. We visited a place called Perona Farms. It's really beautiful there! T
hey have two options for receptions. One is inside an old barn, the other is the typical ballroom option. The barn reception is more expensive. They recently renovated the inside of the barn. It's so nice/rustic in there!There are plenty of areas on their property to take beautiful pictures. They have an apple orchard and a lake with fountains in it, as well as a bridge over the lake.
I had been to Perona Farms once for a wedding and reception, a few years ago. I didn't really remember what it looked like or how was the food was. Bob says he remembers that their food is really good. (He used to go there when he was a lot younger with his family for brunch.)
Today, I'm going to another reception site with Bob and my mom. It's actually two minutes from our apartment. Later on I'm heading up to my parent's house to celebrate my grandmother's 86th bday! Having dinner there, and my mom's amazing triple layer chocolate cake with chocolate icing. It is the BEST!
