A Bling-y Surprise Engagement Bash



One of my really close friends, Amanda, got engaged in Hawaii while on family vacation in March. I know.. I'm just as disgusted as you are .. .and if you're not yet, wellll, her boyfriend hired a professional photographer to document the entire beach proposal. Bleh. Too perfect. 
Nobody was expecting it, since her and her man had only been dating for like ten years or something like that, and have already bought a house together. Since Amanda is basically the nicest person ever (unless you forget your clutch on the back of the toilet in a bar in Minneapolis and don't realize until you get back to the hotel), and she literally has a disease with saying 'yes' to every single invitation she gets, AND always brings gifts (as you can see, she brought puppy chow to her own party... she thought she was having a craft day), we decided the girl deserved a surprise engagement bash. And of course, there's gold, cupcakes with gold, babies, and champagne.
And in the planning of this party, I decided that Party City is where I want to live.

Sister-Talk

This morning started out like many week-day mornings... with a phone call from my sister (who lives in Chicago) while we were both on our drives in to work. Except this morning I learned a ton about a new product for waxing the cha-cha (which she admitted she was going to call me at 5:45 am to tell me about.. thanksbutnothanks), and why you shouldn't listen to the doctor when your water breaks and they tell you to go home cause you probably just peed your pants.


EEEEK. I love my sister and can't wait to spend the entire summer with her.

=and then there's that one time we pretended to be models=








Happy Friday!

The Hat Fad


Even though I only watched two minutes of the reporters talking at the beginning of the Kentucky Derby, I still wore this hat in honor of it. And maybe because I'm a little obsessed with it. I love this whole hat fad that's happening... I think I need a closet full of hats {don't tell my husband}. And sorrynotsorry about these pixelated iphone pictures. It happens, yo.
