Big News!

Hey Following Friends! 

I have some Big News! 

You know how I do Wedding Wednesday every week?

Well, now I am going to be planning my own wedding!

I got engaged this weekend :)

Engaged to this wonderful, wonderful person.
He makes me so incredibly happy and
I am so incredibly excited to be spending the rest of our forevers together.

He took me to Ledges State Park, where we went on a walk and had a picnic  at this lovely spot.

aaaaand this is my ring :)

Thank you to all of my wonderful friends who helped Tristan
and to everyone who  has been so supportive of  us :)

Fall & Winter J. Crew Wish List.

The fact that I love J. Crew is no secret, but the truth is that my budget probably doesn't love J. Crew as much as the rest of me does. So, in a sad, sad attempt to rid myself of the urge to shop, I've compiled a wish list! 

(I think I realize that this methodology makes little to no sense...)

Without further ado, here it is, my current, J.Crew Wish List. 

J.Crew j crew / Dress / J.Crew j crew sweater / J.Crew tailored shirt / J.Crew j crew sweater / J.Crew j crew / Coat / J.Crew j crew / J.Crew high heels / J.Crew j crew

Wedding Wednesday.

Happy Wednesday Y'all!

Avett Brothers print as a reminder.  

an engagement photo with KITES? perfection. 

these photos are just so beautiful and graceful. 

ok, so I know it's a little bit unusual, but I Love these bridesmaids dresses.
flutter sleeves/wings = always a good choice.

Happy Election Day!

I know everyone is just about at their wit's end with campaign ads, door knocking, phone calls, and political social media but...we are almost at the end! 

Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to hear our President speak at his last campaign rally ever. (THANK YOU IOWA).

It just reminded me of how thankful I am and how lucky we all are to live in a nation that provides us with an opportunity to speak our minds and cast our votes--and not just in Presidential elections, but also local elections. 

Whatever you do, don't let anything petty or trivial get in the way of You exercising Your right to vote. Remember that if you are lined up to vote at the time the poll closes, they must allow you to vote, so no excuses! 

we must also remember to not lose sight  of where we have been  not all too  long ago,
and where we are going.(FORWARD).

Here are just a few photos from last night's event in the 

East Village, Downtown Des Moines, IA!

Just my main man. Bruce. Bruce Springsteen. 

Patriotism.  

MICHELLE. 

The POTUS, Barack Obama. 

just 20,000 Iowans doing their thing.
