what i love this very thursday

sooo this week (as you most likely saw before) i have been playing on stumble upon A LOT. ive found many, many neat things. some of the things i've really been looking at this week are wedding DIY blogs and well just basically anything wedding.

no im not getting married. in fact, i dont even have a boyfriend. that doesnt stop me from looking at these blogs and websites though! no way! i love anything and everything to do with weddings. so much actually, that ive been contemplating becoming a wedding planner. ive been thinking about doing this for a few years and with all my interests and love for weddings, love, designing, love, fashion, love, music, love, and crafts...i just feel like its a career that would be a really good combination of everything im passionate about.

so this thursday i am dedicating it to "what i love this very thursday WEDDING edition :) "

1. these diy balls are so precious. how could would it be to make light fixtures out of these? or run white christmas lights through them for outdoor (or indoor as well) lighting? you can find the directions to make these, along with other ideas here.

2. one of THEE cutest weddings i have seen in a long time. an UP inspired wedding. i absolutely love this movie. its is so sweet. it makes me want an adventure book too :)

3. one of the more beautiful wedding i have seen. her dress is so beautiful. her husband looks so darling in his bow tie. everything from the food, to the outside decorations...when i get married i think ill draw a lot of inspiration from this wedding. the photo of her flowers does not even do it justice. i strongly recommend you click the link to see all their photos!

4. i have always adored the idea of having a photo booth at  a wedding reception. not only could you rent an actualy photobooth but you could use the idea in the above photo and have friends and family take pictures of your wedding, themselves, and you with different types of cameras. each of the cameras would use different film. itd be such a neat and eclectic way to capture your wedding.

4. the twigs & honey shop makes some of the most beautiful headbands i have seen. how lovely and delicate and beautiful are these statement head pieces. i love them.

5. how adoreable is this centerpiece? i think its brilliant. the steps to make them are here.

6. i have always adored the idea of having a photo booth at  a wedding reception. not only could you rent an actualy photobooth but you could use the idea in the above photo and have friends and family take pictures of your wedding, themselves, and you with different types of cameras. each of the cameras would use different film. itd be such a neat and eclectic way to capture your wedding.


IN CONCLUSION,
there are so many other ideas i love. im sure ill be posting more soon seeing as though i really would love to jumpstart my wedding planning career and ideas. one remaining thing i do love though: the idea of cupcakes at wedding. some people are cake people but if you havent noticed im definitely a cupcake person :)

things i love this thursday

here is a list of things i am in love with this thursday. i decided thursdays will be the day i share my favorite things with you. why? because things and thursday both start with the same two letters. its as simple as that. no need to complicate it.

1.2.

3.4.

5.6.

1. Anthropologie Sun Shades Dress

2. Burt's Bee's Acne Gel Cleanser

3. anthropologie "work-in-progress" dress

4. jeffrey campbell wedge

5. sharpies!

6. emmaline bride. SO CUTE! 

[now i'm not getting married or anything. not even close. but i adore this entire blog so completely.]

7. also if you haven't seen the website stumble upon...i highly recommend it. you are missing out on a lot in your life if you haven't seen this yet.i have found so many neat and exciting things on here! you wouldn't even believe it. FOR EXAMPLE...today i found out that coke products are now going to be packaged in rectangular bottles as a way to become more green and promote easier recycling. also by clicking on this site, i can easily rhyme one word with another. now yes, this may be completely pointless information.

8. all the seasons of the office. i haven't watched every season fully since after season three but the past three days since i have been pretty sick, i have been watching them. im currently almost through with disc 1 of season 4. love it. so funny :)

anyways. those are just eight things that i love this thursday. next week i will be back with some more.

the little tree ive been dying to show all of you :]

finally finally finally i got my tree up! im so excited because its so cute. i didn't know what theme i wanted for it, because i think all trees should have some sort of theme so its not a jumbled mixture...sometimes that can look cute though. one day all of a sudden though it hit me...MINNIE MOUSE! how could this not have occured to me before? so as soon as it did, i got to work on ideas, and went out and bought decorations.

for the cutest minnie mouse tree ever:

1. white lights

2. red ornaments.

3. white ornaments.

4. hearts.

5. dark pink ornaments.

6. white ribbon.

7. red and white polka dot bow tree topper.

now, i made my own tree topper. im sure online you can buy one but i thought it would be neat if i did my own. it took me a while to do because i had to cut out the shape and make sure it looked perfect. then i glued it all together. cut out the white circles *i had to do this multiple times to to achieve the perfect size dot* and then i glued those on. then i cut all the extra edges off. after this i drew on the lines where the creases would be in the bow. next i put black glitter on the edges, and lines. afterwards, red glitter was sprinkled all over (except for on the white...obviously!). for the white cirlces i took this white shimmer powder and dusted that on top. i didnt want it to be too over the top glittery. 

anyways i think my tree turned out beautiful. im really happy with it and i know that i can keep it for years to come and be able to add cute things to it too! 

as well as putting up my tree i also cute out about twenty or more snowflakes by hand. yes im talking the kind that you make in elementary school or also the kind that buddy the elf makes and hangs all over gimbel's in the movie ELF! id like to think that i am a little more skilled than i was in 2nd grade. i think they turned out really neat! i used clear fishing wire to hang them up. i strung a clear line of fishing wire from one wall to another and then i tied the snowflakes on (they were attached to clear fishing wire as well) so that they were all different heights. 

unfortunately because im only 5'3'' i couldn't reach very high on the walls to hang up the wire (and yes i have heard of a ladder but i dont have one!). so if you come over to my house and are taller than me please make sure to duck! we don't need anyone getting clotheslined. :)

also i added a picture of me in my minnie house sweatshirt last year. i got a minnie mouse long sleeve tee yesterday from my best friend brie! i can't wait to take a picture wearing it !!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

xoox.
