Big Chill 2013

Sometimes I like to make really cryptic titles that make no sense. It's like a revolt against the journalist in me. I do this with photo albums on FB mostly. I try to make it all funny or fancy, like the one time I made a fall album called [Fall]ing Together, and somehow that's when Iman and I started dating.

Crazy. Crazy, I tell you!

Anyway, this post isn't really about the cold. It's sort of to make fun of California but mostly to give you weekly post recap, with some photos!

Monday: We had another fun 5 Little Grins! I must confess..mine were mostly wedding related

Tuesday: I can't get enough of music and shared a couple of my favorite songs inspiring positivity.

Wednesday: I skipped Wedding Wednesday this week since I talked so much about wedding things on Monday. Instead, I linked up for Christmas is in the Air and shared my holiday movies.

Thursday: I used to be so outrageous until I became an adult.

Friday: Check out my awesome Warrior Princess sponsors and don't miss out on your change for 60% off ad space!

Yep, it got "cold" in Cali...

Tea Drinkers Unite! 

I was beyond excited to get this t-shirt. There's only a week left to purchase her next t-shirt, too. 

Another pic of the bridesmaids and I :)

I had too many mimosas at Sunday Football

Flashback to my pink hair days 

*cute moment alert* I found the wording I used to ask Iman to Winter Formal in 2007 :)

Hope you all had an awesome week! I'm not sure what I'm doing today, but that just might be the wonderful break I needed.

Christmas is in the Air: Holiday Movies

I got a lot done for the wedding this past week. But I decided to take a little break (since I can't really show you too much of what I finished) and link up with Life with a Side of Coffee and Southern Beauty Guide!  I'm not that big into Holiday movies...my favorite holiday movies are actually watched year round. But, here is a tribute to the love that I love in holiday movies. 

Love Actually

Seriously, I am so in love with this movie. If I'm having a panic attack and you put this movie on, I calm down in just a few minutes. 
The Holiday 

The amount of cute in this movie just astounds me.

What are your favorite Holiday movies? Don't forget to link up!

Wedding Wednesday: Unique Purchases

Obviously, when you plan your wedding you want it to be uniquely you - how else would it be your wedding?

Lucky for me, Iman and I are into a lot of the same things - things that take our wedding from traditional to ours. For example, our invitations will most likely have moustaches on them, our table numbers will most likely not be numbers, but types of moustaches and the place cards will definitely be moustaches (Iman's idea!)

But in addition to that, there are a bunch of cute quirky things that we are purchasing to make it more us. Here are my top favorite ideas! Oh, I cannot wait to start getting them!!

Look Megan! I finally have an image for my coke bottle centerpieces!! Muffin Tin Mom posted this in August, but I just found it now searching Google. So happy I finally have an image of what I want it to look like...but fancier of course.

Iman might have found this idea, actually. I am going to start out with saying that we are hcore Converse people and I haven't had a pair of Converse since high school. I am not too keen on wearing heels for the whole wedding (they usually come off, and lately I can only wear them for an hour max). I might be a midget next to him in flats when we're dancing but hey, these are SO cute. Converse allows you to custom design your shoes at the original price. Instead of the pink though, we will obviously be doing red. We might also put "Hubby" and "Wifey" instead of the full words, I'm not sure yet.

Glasses!! Everyone thinks it is weird that I am going to get glasses for our wedding. But let me break it down for you. 

First, they're free from Coastal because I haven't bought a pair before. I will just have to pay for my lenses (Which are covered this year). 

Second, I can't get a new pair of frames before the wedding on our insurance and my frames are purple but my colors are red, gray and yellow. 

Third, and probably most importantly, no one will be able to see my eyeballs in pictures if I do not. 

Yeah, I have transition lenses. I've had transition lenses for the past 10 years and am terrified that my eyeballs won't be able to handle real light, but hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. 

What things are you doing at your wedding that make it unique?

As always linking up with Kristyn and Mary for Wedding Wednesday! But also, Bex for Wedding Planning Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!!
