Baby's Breath (Go Big or Go Home)

A good friend of mine from grad school got married last month. The bride and groom are a gorgeous couple (inside and out) and a their wedding was one for the books. Connor Studios took wonderful photos of their wedding and they can be found HERE.

When guests entered the reception area, everyone was collectively blown away by the scene. The bride chose baby's breath as her primary flower. This wasn't baby's breath the filler flower this was baby's breath the WOW flower. I'm still thinking about what it must have looked like when the baby's breath was being taken out off delivery truck (cue swooning lady). 

If you want to make an impact with baby's breath, you need to go big or go home.  Don't use it as your secondary flower, use it as your only flower, and use it en masse. 

If you see a  Subaru overflowing with baby's breath sometime next month, that would be me.

Happy Friday (September 19, 2014)

I haven't done a Friday links post in ages. 

I just heard about the November Project.  Has anyone participated?  #justshowup

The Washington Post's Fall Festival Guide.

Have you checked out Baked and Wired's green parking spot?  Well, there are others.

This Wiener Race looks adorable.

DC Veg fest is tomorrow at the Yards Park.

I'm loving this pineapple themed birthday party.

My fall shopping list includes these flats, this skirt, and this jacket.

Baby Boos (Baby Halloween Fashions)

1. Monster Romper 2. Cat Set 3. Ghost Socks 4. Orange Elf Suit 5. Gap PJ's 6. Booties 

 

Last week I had a post on Halloween fashions. I realized after I selected the items that there wasn't much on there for bitty babies.  

 

It's funny how quickly I've forgotten about my daughter's early days.  Less than a year ago she was in that cuddly, pj's are appropriate all day phase. She seemed so tiny at the time that I wondered if we should even go through the hassle of dressing her up for Halloween.  

 

Here are some picks for you parents want to be festive but might not want to deal with selecting a costume.  They also make great gifts for any Fall baby. 

 

P.S. I really wish I had known about these elf suits last year.  

Fab-boo-lous (Halloween Fashion)

1. Masked Sweatshirt 2. Camo Pants 3. Bat Hoodie

It's never too early to start thinking about Halloween, especially if you are a kid.  Here are some non-costumey Halloween picks for your little ones. 

Shoe Loves (Birks and Socks)

The 90's are back.  I'm not complaining about it, I loved the 90's (with all my heart).  I did make a number of fashion choices that I'm not in a rush to revisit: dark lipstick, matte foundation, shirts under dresses, and of course the boyfriend jeans. 

This summer I got caught up in the 90's revival and bought myself a pair of Birkenstocks.  Now that fall is here, I'm ready to wear my Birkenstocks as long as the weather allows.  Fortunately, my daughter is still too young to be embarrassed by me.

How would you wear Birkenstocks on colder days?  Hat tip to my friend K.B. for the inspiration.

This is my favorite look by far.
