Girls Night Out

December 2, 2014

Last night my dear friend Brooke of BKwed hosted a girls night out with local wedding creatives at a new local venue The Nest in Avondale. The theme was a twist on a bridesmaid luncheon and I acted as one of the bridesmaids and it was a blast. I had my hair and makeup done by Brittany Sandretto and I swear I looked like another person. She is brilliant. HA. I will be sure to share more once the good photos are revealed. The ever fabulous Kelly of Spindle Photography captured the night and it was so fun being able to see another photographer at work. The calligraphy was done by new favorite person Sarah B Brown. Abby Little was there to paint the night away. Savoie Catering and Baking Bandits provided the decadent food. Ever have bacon wrapped string beans? They are amazing! Not sure how I have been missing out all these years. All the decor and flowers were done by Brooke and it looked impeccable as always. The night really was so fun and getting to connect with other Birmingham wedding creatives is always a treat.

So Merry

We had the most wonderful Thanksgiving break. We spent time with family and friends, ate good food, decorated for Christmas, and truly just relaxed. It was heavenly. Here are a couple of outtakes from this weekends Christmas card photo shoot that I rather liked. Plus later this week I will hosting my yearly MINTED giveaway so be sure to check back in!

Ellie's dress and KJ's button down are currently a steal's at 50% off. This skirt I found at Nordstrom Rack the other day, but can't seem to find a link. It's a pale lavender/blush color vegan leather, also known as fake leather. HA. The shoes are from J.Crew that I bought in New York after Christmas. They were a splurge for me, but the Mr insisted. The top is old J.Crew too. Of course I can not leave you all without alternatives though so...

GET THE LOOK:

Don't forget, most if not all items are part of CYBER MONDAY sales so be sure to use codes that can be found on any of the pages. Also my CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDES are having huge savings today at most shops so be sure to rack up on those savings!
