#EasyCturns30 - the details

Well, hello there, strangers. Sorry for my absence, but y'all, life is full right now to say the least. For the last 6+ months I have been planning a surprise 30th birthday party for my sweet hubs. The big shindig went down Friday night, and I think C and I are both still recovering. More professional pics to come, but for now here are some iPhone pics I took prior to going to retrieve the birthday boy.

Naturally I went with a navy and white theme. Who would have thought?

But, you should also notice the camo centerpieces featuring cattails and duck calls.

Sadly, this lighting is pretty awful, but the party featured a bourbon bar (one of C's favorite things). I provided a variety of brands for mixing and sipping. That adorable silver bowl is filled with cigars and camo lighters. :)

Custom cups for said bourbon.

Cocktail table centerpieces. More cattails, wheat, burlap, and camo ash trays for the cigars.

Dessert table (minus the cake and cupcakes).

There's my (I mean his?) adorable bourbon-themed cake!

The birthday boy!

More to come soon.

xoxo

Wedding Wednesday : Alex's Portraits

I know, I know, I know. Worst blogger of the year award goes to me. Sorry for my radio silence, but y'all, life if very full right now. So, I have been a little MIA while trying to keep up with areas of my life that do not include blogging -- like being a bridesmaid in a beautiful "white wedding" over the weekend. To hold you over until I can wrap my head around a full recap, please check out Alex's Bridal Portraits here.

Dana Cubbage shot Alex's engagement session and her bridals here in Charleston, and she did an AMAZING job. I had the privilege to accompany Al to her makeup session on the day of her portraits, help her shimmy into her dress, button all of the buttons, rig her belt to fit her, and assist Dana during the session.

This was the portrait Al chose to display at the reception, which made me feel extra special because... in case you were wondering who Alex is staring at with those loving eyes... .its me! hiding just past the hydrangeas... where I ran after fluffing her veil to perfection (if I do say so myself....). Now go check out the rest of these gorgeous shots!

Five on Friday

Happy Friday people. Thank goodness next week is a short one; leaving town sometime Thursday afternoon for Alex's wedding! In the meantime, here are five things I'm thinking about/want to tell you about/you probably don't want to hear about/but I'm going to tell you anyways. WOO.

1. I have finally established my bridesmaids' luncheon attire for next Friday. I know you were all stressed about it. And I know Paige especially was worried that I was going to choose the seersucker dress. To her delight, I have decided to go with the original Lilly ensemble.

Why you ask? Well, that brings me to item number 2.

2. Because these bad boys popped up on RueLaLa for a mere $99 buckaroos. SO I bought them, and they should be on my doorstep by Monday afternoon. #PTL.

3. In other news, I finally got a haircut. It is pretty important to note that I had not had a haircut since FEBRUARY and things were really getting out of hand. I chopped approximately 3-4 inches off and NONE of my coworkers noticed? What is wrong with these people? Here, you can enjoy the car selfie I sent my mother post cut. You're welcome.

I will have you know that is THE selfie I make.

The only one I know how to make.

Sorry about it.

4. While getting my hair cut by the FABULOUS Melissa at Gibson Hair and Makeup, I learned about her newest beauty secret, Tarte's BB tinted treatment 12-hour primer. I know how much my girl Paige is obsessed with everything Tarte and I know how obsessed I am with everything about BB creams so I am dying to get my hands on this stuff. Hopefully I can pop by Ulta this weekend.

5. Somehow I don't think I have a five. So for today, I will leave you with just these four gems and cross my fingers that it is enough to keep you coming back for more. Have an awesome weekend!

Wine About It.

Thank heavens for little sisters because they introduce you to the greatness of all things like Matt Bellassai.

More importantly, they introduce you to Matt's series "Whine About It".

Today's series topic : "THE WORST THINGS ABOUT BEING AN ADULT", to which you must direct your immediate attention. You can thank me (and Sally) later. Enjoy!
