Happy Friday - It's time for your Fill in the Blank!

Here we go again lovelies! Courtesy of Lauren at The Little Things We Do! 

1.   If I could get away somewhere for the weekend I would go  to Paris, because the French open is going on, and it is one of my absolute favorites - and I would bring   Michael.  We have not been to France together yet, and I can't wait to show him around where I grew up, and all of my favorite places!

2.  Something I often rant about is   people who are ungrateful, who judge, who act like they are better than you - and don't even realize it.  It really gets to me how some people can make you feel so small without even knowing it.  I know - I am probably wrong for letting them get to me in the first place - but still!  Oh an another thing I can talk about for hours: technology, and how it is turning kids into technology obsessed/driven people who can't think for themselves anymore, and don't realize how much they are missing out!  I loved growing up in the 90's - can you tell!?

3.  One item I need to have in my fridge at all time is  hmmm this one varies - but definitely some type of cheese; hummus or coffee creamer.

4.  My "life-saving" product is  the Living Proof hair care line from Sephora.  It has helped my hair become a lot more frizz free - and straight.  Believe me, we need it down here in the South!

5.  A friend is someone who  loves you no matter what?  Who listens to you, laughs with you, cries with you, acts stupid with you, supports you, tells you the truth (even when you don't want to hear it), and who, no matter what, NEVER judges you.

6.  If I could write my own blank it would be: If you could be honest with someone, about anything, what would you say, and who would you say it to?

7.  My favorite kind of art is  I am not sure that I have a favorite kind of art.  I don't think I am that knowledgeable to make such a statement - but if I had to pick, I would say photography. I can't really go into details of what type and all, because frankly, I just don't know enough about it. 

I hope you all have a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend!!!

Pssst

Guess what!? I have a new design! Thank you Lauren at Blue Lux for such a cute design!! I love it!!!

In other really cool news, my older brother and his wife welcomed their new baby on Monday.  He is the most precious little boy, and I love him so much already.  I just want to spend all my time with this little guy!






Sara - the very proud big sister :)

I mean, how adorable is my little nephew? His name is Jacob Aiden, and I believe we will call him Jake - for now at least.

Baby fever?  You bet - and it is slowly but surely sneaking up on me.  Between Michael's new nephew Davis, and now Jake, I can honestly say that I can't wait to have one of my own.

I know - I have to focus on the wedding right now.  But being 27 going on 28, I can't help but thinking that it should be soon than later.  I feel as a woman, this is completely normal thoughts, and a part of me always wonders "what if it doesn't happen right away" - you know?

Ahhh for now, I will enjoy this little guy, and get some practice until my time comes! 

M & J

Here they are!!! Our loooooong awaited engagement pictures! I say long, because it took us forever to actually schedule, and take these. 

I want to say that we were nervous - but the real reason is I felt like I needed to lost weight - so there, you have it! 

These are a few of my favorites.  As you can tell, I went a little photo-edit crazy - I couldn't help it - too much fun! 

What do you think?!  I told you before - I do not think of myself as the most photogenic person, but I am very pleased with these.  High five to our photographer for putting up with me :) 

They're Back!

That's right - Fill in the Bank Fridays are back!  Ahh it has been a while, and I have missed it! 

 

As always, these are courtesy of Lauren at The Little Things We Do 

 

 

1.   People always tell me I look like  hmm should I be offended that no one ever tells me that I look like anyone in particular?!  A long time ago in high school, some people used to say I looked like Jessica Alba (hmmm I wish!?)

2.  Friends don't let friends wear clothes that make them look fat, cut their hair too short because they know you will regret it, feel like they are lonely, feel like they are not good enough.

3.  A sunny day is perfect for  a nice walk in the park with M bug, or a fun day at the pool with Summer drinks, and good friends.

4.  My favorite accessory is my engagement ring?  OK...aside from that, my two gold bracelets that I never take off.  They were from my grandmother, and every girl in my family wears them.

5.  If I could afford it I would  take a month off to go visit my family in France, and backpack around Europe with Michael.

6.  The cure for boredom is  the internet?! I don't think I can get bored readings blogs.  However, it is always nice to find an outdoor patio and relax with some drinks.  (hmm drinks, again - I swear I am not an alcoholic)
 

7.  I am currently "in like" with  the fact that our wedding is only five months away, which means that 1) I will be married to my best friend; 2) We are going back to Mexico for our Honeymoon! 

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND LOVELIES!!!!!!!

Zadig et Voltaire

Have you ever heard of the French brand Zadig et Voltaire?

The brand became popular a few years before I moved to the United States (wow - 11 years ago already), and I remember back then thinking that I would never be able to afford such a brand. 

Well guess what?  Eleven years later, and I still can't afford it!  Hah OK - let me re-phrase that: technically, I could afford it, but I just haven't let myself pull the trigger yet.  

The only Z&V item I have ever owned was a t-shirt my cousin gave me.  Mind you, it was used - so, I'm pretty sure she simply didn't like it anymore.  I felt so special. 

For some reason, I am on their mailing list, so when I get emails titled BLOW OUT SALE, of course, I rush to the site, only to find out that even their "sales" are still expensive - what a shame!

In due time ladies - I will shop there, and get WHATEVER I want.  

That's why I became an Accountant, OK?  No, not necessarily to have a good retirement, provide for my family, or even have a good career.  I did it for the clothes, the shoes and the purses - there, I said it!  Ok, maybe this isn't entirely true - but maybe...just a little :) 

Oh well.  I am still going to share with you a few things I am drooling over today.  

 

 Those are just a few things - seriously - check out their website. 

It is a little different than your every day clothes - but I love how unique some of the pieces are. 

Oh and if you ever go to Paris, you will know what I mean.  They have stores ALL over the city.  

Yet again, another reason why I love Paris: the fashion.  Ahhh, I miss my home.
