framed in nature

As the wedding grows closer and closer, I am obsessing more and more about the details of the big day.  Am I forgetting anything?  Do I still love my decisions?  What will the weather be like?  Is everything going to come together alright?  I am getting less sleep at night and my mind is constantly running through the things I need to get done still.  So, in my (very little) free time, I'm jumping through my fave wedding blogs to see if there's something I'm missing.  During my browsing, I came across this stunning photo shoot on Inspired by This. Isn't it beautiful??  I love the hanging framed desserts and I'm obsessed with the china!

ruffles

I'm very into ruffles lately.  So delicate, feminine, and timeless.  They can be found just about anywhere today from clothing to home decor to dessert!

the return to a normal life

I'm usually a firm believer in resolutions on a day to day basis - if you need to make a change, just do it!  Why wait for a new year?  However, this year is a bit different for me.  I've just finished up design school which means no more time consuming projects and I'm ready to reclaim my life!  Here are just a couple of things I finally have time to work toward in 2011.

Catch up on my reading.  I started reading The Time Traveler's Wife, not this past summer, but the one before that... and still haven't finished it!  It's time to get back on track.

Organize my life.  There are so many small projects I've been wanting to do around the apartment... paint my coffee table white, go through the 10' tall stack of magazines I haven't had time to look at, get new counter stools (that are actually comfortable), etc.  It's time to start moving on these!

Plan the wedding of my dreams (since it's now only 5 months away!).  I have most of the bigger pieces checked off my list, but it's time to work on the details.

Good luck with all of your resolutions!
