DIY Bride

As the ultimate DIY bride, I have decided to save an extra $1,000 and make my own wedding cake. Difficult, sure, big task to take on, definitely, a time waster on the wedding day, nah :) So, my best friend ever has stepped up to help with the challenge. Right now, Miss Kacie and I are focused on playing with fondant icing. This is a new experience for both of us but with Kacie's amazing skills, we have gotten off to a great start! We are looking into stars (of course) and icing the entire cake; I think that Kacie has this icing thing down, she's practically a pro!

Kacie definitely has mad fondant icing skills :) Thank you, Kacie!!

Countdown

11 MORE MONTHS UNTIL WEDDING TIME!!!

Architecture

I have an obsessive interest in architecture; anywhere I go, I'm looking a details and structures in ways that normal people don't. I want a home that is aesthetically pleasing and architecturally amazing. This is an old commercial building off Congress Avenue that an amazing architect transformed into a brilliant condo.

My Best Friend's Wedding

This weekend, my best friend got married. It's wonderful to have a friend that I care so deeply about that I still get emotional when I think about her big day. As I grow up and begin to figure out life, I learn who of my friends will always be around. I know that I am now building on friendships that will last a lifetime and am slowly letting go of those that were never that strong. Micki will always be one of my best friends. She was so beautiful and I hope to take some pointers for my wedding day...omigosh, I am officially next.

Mick, your wedding was amazing and I was so honored to be a part of it...

Flowers

I LOVE these centerpieces; they are simple yet stunning. They add to the modern, minimalist theme that I have for decorations. I don't want over the top centerpieces that keep you from seeing or talking to whoever is across from you. This is a great way to make a beautiful statement with flowers without spending a ton.

Christian Louboutin

I LOVE shoes...could these be the ones ;)

Austin Art Garage

The Austin Art Garage is my new favorite oasis. They only carry art from local artist which, I believe, only makes their selection better. Every piece is original and amazing. Clint and I bought our first big art purchase at the Garage. I had been staring at this artist's work for weeks and I finally was able to drag Clint in to look; he loved the paintings so we bought two from the artist Michael Drake. If you live in Austin or if you are ever driving through, check out the Art Garage; it is amazing.
