$1 make-up

My future sister-in-law tipped me off to the amazing sale happening right now at E.L.F. (eyes lips face) cosmetics.  Apparently Nordstroms has bought out the line and everything with the e.l.f. logo on it is up for grabs at the stellar price of $1 on their website!  $1 for brushes, eyeliner, blush, eyeshadows, mascara and [...]

Non-matching bridesmaids

Before I was engaged I loved this idea.  In fact, for the past six years since planning my sister’s wedding I knew I wanted my bridesmaids to wear something different.  Not different colors entirely, and not different models of the same color dress, but unique styles in the same color spectrum.

I love this.  I would [...]

Birthday shoutout

Today is my sister’s birthday.  In six days, I will be in Minnesota and will actually get to see her – in person! For the time being, I managed to unearth this (poorly stitched) photo series of her on the day of my college graduation.  It was the first test for the “panorama” feature on [...]

Happy father’s day!

Ties

I’m sure many brides-to-be do their planning a bit more systematically than me.  I do not have a one-track mind.  I follow tangents.  And so, my wedding planning and inspiration gathering has led me to ponder more-or-less every single detail of the wedding.  One example: ties.  I don’t know what the men in the wedding [...]

The first purchase

My first official purchase for our wedding was a vintage, free-standing, old-school chalkboard.

I scored it for $30 off of Craigslist.  Luckily, my awesome sister and helpful parents were willing to make it happen, seeing as I’m seven thousand odd miles away and unable to pick up, haul, or store said chalkboard.  I’m so excited to [...]

Another serving of yellow inspiration

I now present to you the last two of my top six Snippet & Ink yellow inspiration boards.  In case you’ve been living under a rock and ignoring all of my links, I recommend you go there to see lots more pretty things and a huge variety of inspiration boards.  Really.  They’re not all yellow.

More inspiration boards

Both of these boards incorporate outdoor elements.  I love the thought of our ceremony being in the yard.
