How do relationships and technology fit together?

Ok, so I blog and everyone reading this blogs as well so I'm not against technology at all, but I think it's really interesting to see the kind of culture we live in now where technology makes it so easy to share things that probably don't need to be displayed for the whole world to see.

I found this link somewhere (Weddingbee I think) STFU Marrieds and I don't necessarily like the point of the website degrading the gact that married people are affectionate towards each other, but some of the things on there are pretty ridiculous. And some things that don't need to be shared...



Just because you have the ability to share details of your relationship, is it really necessary? Some of the posting on there are kind of sweet and some are kind of ridiculous, but I kind of feel like if you are wanting your partner to be seeing these, wouldn't it be just as easy to write them a private note about how much you love them? Or is it about showing the world and all your friends just how in love you are? I guess I can't be quite a hypocrite, I have written on my F's wall just to tell him I love him, but not to the extent some of these people are.

Sorry for this little weird venty thing, I'm just pondering relationships with the invent of all this new technology...

Vintage and modern, this is my dilemma

I can't remember where I found this link, but I have been sitting, drooling, and coveting the jewelery on Doyle and Doyle. It is a vintage jewelry store where you can shop online, and I must confess... I. Love. Vintage. I don't wear it often, but I have always loved how it looked. Thanks to a friend I met up with yesterday, I am now aware of some amazing vintage stores close by that I will be hitting up for sure in my quest for wedding jems. But anywho. Check out these beauts!


Yum yum yum.

Browsing these has made me realize what my ultimate problem is... (ok a little dramatic haha). But, I love vintage and I also love modern, so my problem is how do I combine these in a way that doesn't look random and ridiculous? This is something I'm going to have to think about... but until I figure it out, I'm going to continue to lust after these incredibly expensive jewelry.

Why hello there

Sorry I've been absent, I had wonderful friends visiting from England and then it was my birthday and Easter, so I've been busy!

I've been hard at work on F's bday present (his birthday is Thursday... we're exactly 2 weeks apart, well, almost), but I don't think I'm going to have time to finish it! It was going to be a quilt made out of old tee-shirts of ours. So now I have to think of something else, but I usually plan way ahead so I'm out of my league here.

In other news, I have found the inspiration for the cufflinks for the guys thanks to Suffering Love. I think I'll make them because if I can find the cufflink backings, it will be so easy to do.

My F and his boys are geeks to the extreme, so these are perfect for them!

I am...

...the one holding the wine glass :)

It was good to volunteer my efforts for a good friend's wedding. I feel refreshed, recharged, and just a little more liberated.

wedding dresses on the cheap

Fiance and I just got back from a wonderful camping trip in the California Redwoods. To be honest, I haven't been doing too much wedding planning over the last week or so. However, I was doing a little research and found three dresses that range in price and are overall very inexpensive. I suppose with the wedding a little less than a year away I should be trying to find my dress, but it's so much more fun to shop for imaginary people instead. I just have faith that my dress will reveal itself when the time comes.


$50.00 from Target. I don't think this would flatter my body type, but I think that somebody with narrow hips and a smaller bust line could pull it off. The front of the dress didn't win me over, but the "V" in the back with the small bow is quite elegant.


$295 from J. Crew. Contrary to the style above, I think that this dress would look beautiful on somebody with curves. The dress shape is feminine and reminds me of a Neoclassical painting.


$118 at Nordstrom's. This would be very chic for a more relaxed afternoon wedding/garden party deal.

More free things!

I've been very busy as I have two lovely ladies visiting me from England, but I had to post these...

Free free free!! You download the zip file and they have a link for the font that you can download too. They are posted in navy today, but they are asking for people to leave comments for what colors they want to see and they are going to post this same set in different colors?

Who is doing this? Wedding Chicks!!
