Tuesday Shoesday

I'm back for Tuesday shoesday after not posting last week. I didn't know that NaNoWriMo was going to kick my butt that hard in the beginning. I'd like to say I have it under control now but I really don't feel like jinxing myself. Let's get to the shoes though, shall we?



bows and sparkle...yes.




love stars (and jimmy choo for that matter)




Couldn't you just see a bride starting out in the samba shoe and then dancing the night away in the western? I am in love. Knowing RP though he'll go to the links and start laughing at the price he sees. That's ok though. I laugh at the prices of things he wants too. :) I think we're going to work out just fine.

Thursday Purseday: Juicy Couture

I am currently going crazy trying to write a novel for national novel writing month but it's purse day. It's one of my favorite days of the week so I had to post some prettiness for the blog.




hello ruffled


ruffles and a bow?? Christmas!


ruffles...I love you



Now, I've never been a fan of Juicy Couture. It always symbolized "Juicy" written across someone's behind. Thanks...but no. Seeing these bags though just may have changed my opinion about Juicy now...

Street Signs

It's been a while since I posted something about my actual wedding. I'd say I would love to get back into that but November is National Novel Writing Month and I have signed up to write 50,000 words by the end of the month so...let's just say I'm going to try my hardest.

Richard and I knew our "theme" early on. I guess it's not really a theme but a lot of our little details are going to be related to one thing and that is Chicago. It's where I grew up and always wanted to get back to once my parents moved me out to the suburbs. It's where I came back to and fell in love. His parents and grandparents are always telling us that they are amazed at how much we do in the city while we really don't notice it but I suppose looking back it's true.


here we are skating on Wrigley Field...at 8am.


Museum of Science and Industry...which I thought was boring prior to this moment.


at the Lincoln Park Zoo visiting the beavers.



So that gives you a little taste of our Chicago lives. Now this idea I came up with before I was even dating Richard. (Don't deny you thought of wedding ideas too when you had no intentions of marrying any time soon. It's ok. We all do it.) I didn't like the regular numbers for tables. I mean, it's not something that bothers me at other weddings, I just didn't want it for mine. I wanted street names instead of numbers for the tables.

table names that look like street signs...thank you etsy!


We used streets that mean something to us in our relationship as well as the streets that my parents, his grandpa and my grandparents lived on. Jackson Blvd for instance...that's the street where we met. :)

Thursday Purseday

Do you remember once upon a time when I said "I hate that new line of Coach bags...it takes away from the classic vision that is Coach"?? Yeah, neither do I.

Just a few days ago though I fawned over this bag at work. Most women that come into my work carry Coach but this one caught my eye. Ladies, this is the only exception for me in the Poppy line of Coach.





I immediately thought of that song which made me think...wait, I don't like paramore so much. Then I remembered there's a Glee version. Oh Glee...you make things so much better. Anyway...


Here she is:


you are the only exception, doodle glam



It's fun, right? I don't think I'd feel like I was carrying around a purse meant for a 12 year old. Why can't all of the Poppy collection be this fun but aimed at the modern woman...not the tween?

I'm definitely falling more and more in love with Burberry. So classic.

I'm really digging these shoes. What do you think of the classic plaid?

Thursday Purseday: Color and the Unexpected

I really like color...and unexpected things, apparently. Which is why I think Gwen and Marc are the perfect candidates for this post.


hey Gwen...let's be friends


same bag, different price!


a little over the top but it's called jennifer :)




That Marc Jacobs bag is a bit much, I know but it's seriously one of the only times I've actually liked my name. What do you think of it?

Tuesday Shoesday: Flats

I'm a pretty short girl (5'4) so I used to live in heels. After a while, I needed to stop hurting my feet almost everyday so I was wearing my black chucks every.single.day. I just recently hopped on the flats train and these shoes could definitely added to my collection.


these are needed, not wanted



wanna stand out?


chic and fun!



I don't know about you, but I'm seriously trying to figure out a way to make all of these shoes mine. (Christmas is coming though...) :)
