i feel as though i have been in a little bit of a blogging blur as a midsummertime haze is sort of taking over. you feel the same right?
don’t worry, i am snapping out of it, at least for today, to show off some beautiful things made by my friend paige.
paige is the owner and designer behind pink lemonade and she has the biggest heart. she contacted me after we announced that we were beginning the adoption process and wanted to help as much as she could. she suggested that we create a little collection and that 50% of the proceeds from all in that collection would go straight to our adoption fund.
her stepping out, supporting, helping and loving us has blessed us so much.
this is my necklace i already own from pink lemonade.
i am smitten with it, and wear it every day.
i needed some pictures of me wearing it and i had no photographer on hand. aka my husband was working late. so here’s whatcha get.
below is my favorite (that’s a lie) and only picture i took of myself modeling my pretty necklace where i didn’t hold the camera up to my face and take a self portrait. i set the timer and sat by our shed and cocked my head to side while pretending i was wearing a bra and that i could actually wear this dress in public without someone seeing my butt.
tmi?
all target dresses shrink upon washing and also i can really only wear this one with leggings under it and little cardi over it. strapless bras don’t do much for me. can i get an amen?
anyways, this pretty dress is the perfect dress to pretend i actually wore for a what i wore post, when i am really wearing my sister’s softball t-shirt from tenth grade and my husband’s soccer shorts.
hawt.
and also please enjoy the creepy look on my face that makes me look like the girl from the ring.
don’t worry i do not watch movies like that anymore. however, in high school i loved, loved, loved scary movies, even horror movies. do not ask me what was wrong with me. i would absolutely die if i watched one now. i made my husband come to the bathroom with me to pee for three days when we watched the next three days. you think i’m kidding? and just last night we watched source code and i envisioned jake gyllenhaal’s limbless body all morning. creeeeepy. those movies are really pushing it for me. i seriously just want to watch leap year and my best friends wedding every day. i like the suspense…but i hate the nightmares.
so …that was my movie tangent.
back to this pretty collection. it’s filled with peach, soft pink, cream and gray and it makes my heart skip a beat. there are two headbands, three necklaces, two clips/pins, and one pair of earrings.
thank you, thank you, thank you sweet friend!
You have really pretty eyes! and definitely loving that pretty necklace :))
what a darling collection! I'm dying over your "ring" comment! that movie totally creeped me out! and don't get me started on having my husband check the house when we came home from seeing a horror movie once! won't see them anymore. EVER.
went and bought some pretties!!
Um, you are so adorable! We are watching Source Code tonight and I didn't know it was scary! Ahh! Now I'm nervous! I also used to watch horror movies like crazy in high school and now cannot. Yikes! Anyway, I'm following now! 🙂 Popped over from WIWW 🙂

You crack me up, as usual. How sweet that Paige has offered to do this for you guys. I own several pieces from her(her prices are so affordable!) and get tons of compliments whenever I wear them.

i like your tangents.

You are so funny. I love how we would've never known those things about your dress, bra, etc…see how a picture can seem so perfect and sunshiney? haha!! You are beautiful regardless though. I love that pink lemonade collection. And I Love generous hearts like hers even more!!
Beautiful collection! I used to be able to watch scary/suspenseful movies, but in recent years they tend to stick with me for days and I hate the way that makes me feel!
You look gorgeous.
Don't ever say rude things about yourself again.
Or I will come kick your butt.
Got it?
Love ya.
hey sista i love this post. you look gorgeous! you are funny about the scary movies–i won't watch them and even if i see a preview, it gives me nightmares. i am used to those good ole feature films for families.
love the pink lemonade partnership. Praise Jesus! love u honey.
I do love these colors! And your honesty. 😉
LOL. The Ring scared the CRAP out of me when it came out! My boyfriend at the time made me watch it in the dark. I think he had some idea that I would want to snuggle because I'd be scared but I ended up just screaming my head off for half the movie. Super romantic.
That dress is so, so cute!
love the comment about the bra and the butt! hilarious!
They are seriously all so beautiful! I NEED A J.O.B. ha.
this is so fabulous. like you.
xo
