link love

This blog is a great reference for brides. I especially loved the new post about resolutions for the newly engaged. I am contemplating my resolutions today. It has been so busy I haven't even had a chance to think about what I want from the next year...and it's a pretty big year ahead of me. So I am thinking a post of resolutions will be good for me too. More to come later.

grey likes weddings- and i like grey

I absolutely love this blog. I heard about it from Style Me Pretty and I have been following it ever since. She has to cutest style and so many great ideas on handmade gifts and favors for weddings. I like her ideas because you can use them for more then just your wedding! I am going to use a couple of them next Christmas season.

Just to give you a taste...

Thrift store sweater wine wraps



And last but not least this adorable coffee huggie for the caffeine addict {we all know at least one!}

So after my great disappointment with the J. Crew pearl earrings I have found some new babbles that are just as eye catching and promising. Only problem is I can't get the pictures for you guys BUT just believe me- go here and I promise the link will not disappoint you. Ann Taylor is a step above Forever 21 {sorry Forever 21 just doesn't say bride to me} but it's not so hard on the wallet as some chic stores can be. And there is always their outlet store Ann Taylor Loft or clearance sales. Right now Ann Taylor has the sweetest collection of necklaces and earrings that are perfect for simple elegance for wedding or honeymoon. Soft colors that are easy to imagine wearing with plenty of things you already own.
