Postpone the wedding!

Ok, maybe not. (There's no way I could wait any longer to marry G.)
My prayers have been answered-just not in time for my wedding.
Anthropologie is introducing a wedding brand!!!!

From InStyle.com:
"Wedding bells are ringing for Anthropologie! The brand’s parent company, Urban Outfitters Inc., announced that it will launch a bridal collection featuring heirloom wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, accessories and gifts designed with Anthropologie’s distinctively ethereal, feminine feel. The still-unnamed bridal concept launches in Spring 2011 as a Web site, through which brides-to-be can schedule local fittings, before branching into stores. “We have found that many brides-to-be are inspired by our aesthetic,” Anthropologie co-president Wendy B. McDevitt said in a statement. “We will unveil a brand that addresses this very special moment in her life with a goal of exceeding her expectations.” Wedding gowns will retail from $750 to $5000, with occasion and bridesmaid dresses starting at $200."

Yay for the brides who get to shop Anthro for their weddings!

It IS easy being green!

So far, I have to say I have not been an indecisive bride. I chose the first venue I looked at, and have had a very clear image of the look and feel of our wedding from the get-go. The one thing I keep waffling on is my shoes. I ordered these super cute green ballet flats a while back because we are having an outdoor ceremony on grass and I didn't want my heels to sink in. But I am a high heels girl at heart. And don't you want to wear the most fabulous, perfect shoes on your wedding day? The answer is HELL YES. And now that I've found these, I can sport some stilettos without them becoming a grassy mess. 4" Green lovelies, come to mama!

Lobsters as Fashion Statement?

Um, I think not. Having said that, I adore Lady Gaga and think everything she does is fab. But this little concotion on her head reminds me of our westie Calvin's Halloween costume. I'm just sayin...

So obviously, this is not our westie, but its the same costume. So dang cute.

What the?

No, this is not some disgusting super-zoomed-in science-y diagram of mucus. Not even close. This is what I did at work on Friday. Confused? I don't blame you. Its actually a super-cool image made from a program called Mouse Path (or IOGraph). Just download it (here), and as long as you have it open, it will track the movement of your mouse to make a gorgeous Pollack-esque illustration. Not only is it beautiful, but it makes me look like I've been super productive all day. Love that.

Birthday Wishes, Printable Pretties & Endless Possibilities

Happy Friday! First off I would like to wish my super sweet almost-sister-in-law Nicole a Happy Birthday (well, sort of...she's a leap year baby, so I guess we just have to pretend this year!) We are headed to Austin today to spend the weekend with her and do a winery tour. Yay! Happy Birthday Nicole- Love you!! 
(Please don't kill me for putting this photo on my blog...) 

Do you heart Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, & Anna Griffin- with their perfect patterns and yards and yards of to-die-for fabric? Yeah, me too. Do I have boatloads of cash laying around to have my own fabric produced? No. Sad. Enter Inkbloom, a very cool website that has a library of designs you can download and a product called Loomtak that lets you print fabric & vinyl art on your inkjet printer. Print your own fabric! How cool is that?! The possibilities are endless. Of course, my thoughts turn to wedding applications (favor bags, custom napkins, wine labels...) but you could really use this for anything. Check out the project gallery here and get printing!
