Happy Belated Hump Day: Hogwarts Edition

I know. It’s not hump day. Yesterday was hump day. But cut me some slack, I couldn’t dare post about some hot piece on the day of my wedding anniversary. It would just be wrong. Anyways, I’m a strong supporter of better late than never, and these guys were worth the wait. Literally. We’ve watched the Potter kids grow up as they’ve played the roles of some of our most beloved literary characters: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. And now, in only a matter of hours, theaters will be throwing open their doors to welcome the throngs of dedicated fans that have been waiting anxiously to lay eyes on the first half of the last chapter of the series. My one tip for tonight’s viewers? Bring Kleenex. Lots of it. Accio picspam!

Three.

It’s hard to believe this was snapped 3 years ago.

Three years ago, I woke up feeling happy, excited and anxious. But mostly so incredibly lucky to have found someone I could call not only my lover, but also my best friend. Someone I could trust with all my deepest, darkest secrets. Someone that loved me for who I truly am, not who I’m supposed to be. Someone that understood me better than my own flesh and blood. Someone that made me realize that love is real, and sometimes it hurts and knocks us down, but it is the one thing in life worth living for.

Agustin Sanchez, thank you for coming into my life and for making me the happiest girl in the world.
Me and you, just us two. <3

DIY Holiday Wreaths

OK, so I know I like to say that I am a big, fat Grinch during the holidays, but I feel like something may change this year. Maybe it’s the fact that we have our own house to call home and I can actually put up lights, and really enjoy the festive decor. Or maybe I’m just changing (for the best?). Either way, I’ve wanted to take on a new crafty project (I itch for one if it’s been too long) and I think now is definitely the time! Modern, quirky holiday wreaths are my favorite way to dress up a home for the season, but unfortunately, they tend to go for big bucks and with the state of things, we definitely have to find alternatives. Cue DIY!

Weekend Highlights

I finally decided to hit up the local farmer’s market after making that post last week complaining about our lack of them in the area. The hubs and I woke up early and made our way to Pinecrest Gardens for their weekly festivities ready to find some really great stuff. I did find really great stuff, just not what I expected.

There were a lot of organic food items. I was expecting more produce. There were plants and trees. I was expecting more fresh flowers. You get it. However, now we know that we can wake up hungry and with cash in hand ready to chow down on some good breakfast or lunch items. Unfortunately, this time around we left empty handed.

The rest of our weekend was pretty low key. We had a good time with each other, enjoying our alone time (we don’t get a lot lately) eating, drinking, exploring and cuddling. It’ll probably be the last time until the new year that we have no set plans so I really tried to revel in it. Lots of events and fun (and sometimes stress) coming soon to a blog near you! 😉

Have a great week, everyone!

Lovable Friday!

1. Vivienne Westwood Shoes

I’ve decided that Vivienne Westwood is a vile and evil sorceress that is hell bent on destroying my bank account. I also place a little of the blame on Rock ‘n Roll Bride for introducing me to her absolutely adorable collection. The second I set eyes on them I became obsessed with having them, along with the heart shoes. I started scouring Ebay and Google in a frenzy, but unfortunately, they are still out of my price range. I’m hoping someone somewhere will take pity on me and purchase them for me. Gosh, this shoe fetish is just getting out of control.
