there's a wedding COMIN':)

we are LITERALLY only days away from getting MARRIED!!!!! I think we're both just so...I don't know...blown away by everything. Getting married...gifts...showers...more gifts...invites and friends and family and fun. And it's just been SO much fun. Seriously...beginning to end. Are there a few things that I would have changed...sure. BUT nothing at all that mattered. It was exactly what we wanted and I know everything to come will follow suit.

i'm just SO happy that we stuck with what felt right. That was kinda our motto through this whole process. Do what feels right for US and if it doesn't...change it. And it all came together. I seriously credit our naive attitudes for everything coming out just right. The whole time I'd just say "it'll work out. it'll be perfect. it has to be right. it WILL be right" and everything did and was. Right:)

my great hair debate.

okay...meet my face;)...

SO I was in a few, not so awesome, photos at a baby shower I attended yesterday. Arg. I don't really like to have my photo taken, except for the fact that I like to TRY and get a good one. Sometimes this just isn't possible. I'm not a photogenic person and so it is few and far between that you catch a good one. And that good one usually meant that I had my 2 glasses of wine limit and it was probably my birthday. That's the day I look the happiest;)

above are some pictures of me over the last year or so. I couldn't really find too many different looks. But there was a time where I had some side swept bangs and they're not looking horrendous. DO I dare try again!?

my inspiration has always been SJP. I adore her and wonder if I could learn a thing or 2 from her hair styles over the years. And I should point out that I have a similar sized nose and maybe that's what makes me seek her out in these times of - I hate my face and no one will convince me I'm pretty - neeeeeed;)

UP and all the way DOWN she's just gorgeous. Funny, intelligent...very much someone to look up to.

UP just had to add this one cause I'm crazy about that high messy bun. AND doesn't this outfit look great for Spain!? Thought so:)

UP/DOWN i'm loving the more defined part, further to one side.

that's really it for the hair thing. I think I'm just going to try to work with what I got. With the wedding looming only 4.75 months away...NOW is not the time to experiment! I have faith I will try some new things with what I've got and try I shall!!!!
