Friday Lovelies: Marchesa 2011 Fall RTW

My adoration for Marchesa just grew exponentially. Marchesa 2011 Fall line was filled with luxe tulle and delicate laces that will definitely command attention. In a perfect world, I would be walking down the aisle wearing one of their gowns.

Engagement Party

Several weekends ago, some of my fabulous bffs decided to throw me a surprise engagement party! I thought we were getting together for a girls day filled with laughter, girl talk, and Mimosa. Well our day was filled with that but I did not know that it included a basket full of goodies, engagement games, and even a special message from the beau. I don't really have any pictures from the engagement *cough* *cough* but here are some pics from previous engagement parties that I threw for 3 of my girls.



Surprise Engagement Party at Rise Sushi Lounge in Atlanta. This was me wearing my fro which I no longer wear b/c it's too much work. I may get back to that once life slows down a bit (which I highly life will).

Wedding Dress Collection: Anthropoligie

I am sure you all heard that Anthropologie was coming out with a bridal collection, BHLDN. Well Glamour Magazine, got their hands on the goods. What do you think? Honestly, not wowed by the entire line but I do see some faves.

These two are my faves.

Feel Good Friday

Man, I am seriously hating this weather. Not only is it really cold but it's been raining for the past several days. The type of rain that does not want to go away. Definitely in the mood to be at home in my pajamas watching a movie with the beau. Oh well. This inspiration piece made me smile.

Happy Friday!

Thank You

I can honestly say I have the best girlfriends ever. I am surrounded by awesome women. From my mother to my baby sister to my incredible group of besties. Good people are hard to come by and when you have great people in your corner, you should be thankful.

With that being said, I want to start mailing random Thank You notes. But you know me, it has to be done in style. Check out some awesome Thank You notes.

Oh no not again

Man, it is becoming really hard to stay up to date with this blog. I don't know where the time goes; oh yes I do...between the demands at work, planning another wedding, planning my wedding, and being a mother & fiance while trying to work on my business. One of my biggest qualms is being disciplined. I will get online determined to blog and then get caught doing something else until the wee hours of the night. And you know what that means; going to bed super late, then waking up late, then going to work late, then coming home late. Phew! After all of that a woman is tired.

In the beginning when I first started blogging, I posted monthly goals. I think I will get back to doing that. It's already February and I feel like I am losing that drive that I first had at the beginning of the year. So what better way than to hold myself accountable. I missed January but we can try to make this month count. What are some goals you have for this month?

Goals for February

1. Relationship with God - have morning devotions, buy a study bible, look into volunteering somewhere.
   
2. Work on changing bad habits - go to bed by 10 P.M. Wake up by 7 A.M. Be at work by 8:30 A.M.
3. Fitness - Loss 10 lbs. Start 10 day fruit & veggie detox (mostly). Work out at gym 3xs a week.
4. Business - Work on logo and design. Make business card and product package for O.
5. Wedding - Attend Romona Keveza & Lazaro Trunkshow at Bridals by Lori. Check out more venue options. Start marriage counseling! Attend marriage seminar.
6. Finance - File tax return and continue to maintain budget.
7. Shopping - Buy heels that are NOT black. Invest in more workout clothes.
   
8. Car Maintenance - change breaks, oil change , fix glass, get estimate for repairs.
