Laura's Warm Weather Wish List

Now that warm weather is lurking around the corner and spring style is popping up in retail stores everywhere, I can't help but fantasize about new items to wear in 60+ degree weather. Crochet dresses, straw hats, fringe bags, and swimsuits are on my mind this season. You can bet I'll also be sporting some Flash Tattoos around the beach, too. They are super trendy and hot for festivals and I can't help but love the way they look on suntanned skin. 

Here are some of my warm weather favorites:

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10

Diamond Shape Style Challenge

Let's talk diamonds. 

Since Katelyn and I both vary in style and taste, we love comparing and contrasting our visions when it comes to anything fashion related. For example- our engagement rings. Both of our men (Alex and Steve) know our style pretty well, and were spot on when it came to picking out our perfect rings. The only real requirement I had for my someday engagement ring was that it had to be conflict free! Here's a little more about our favorite diamond shape styles:

 Laura's favorite:

Cushion Cut
First, let me say that I do not limit myself to this one style/cut of diamonds. My taste is mostly modern, with a touch of vintage character. Therefore, I love cushion cut and any rings with a halo. Check out my board to get a better glimpse at my style choices.

Featured engagement ring:

Platinum Felicity Diamond Ring


Katelyn's favorite:
Round Cut To be honest, I didn't even really know what kind of diamond cut I preferred (gasp) until my husband picked it out for me! I love diamonds that are timeless and classic--think Breakfast at Tiffany's. Here's my style board to showcase a perfect ensemble to accentuate this beautiful ring.

Featured engagement ring: 

 Platinum Comfort Fit Ring

Backyard Brooks

Laura recently moved into a new apartment. Earlier this week, Katelyn and Alex stopped over to visit and check out the new place. We decided to mosey around the trails that surround the complex to explore and take some photos. For the last few weeks I have been walking past this hidden, wooded paradise along the bike path and every time I passed it I thought to myself "that looks so beautiful, I want to go in there", so we finally did just that. It's this hidden gem with a small creek and flowing water that sounds peaceful and serene.
