I’m currently traveling to one of my favorite places in the world – San Francisco. I’m going to hang out with one of my best friends, Sasha’s sister, and to meet our wedding coordinator at The Carneros Inn, our florist, our lighting designer and our cupcake creator! I cannot wait. I’m sitting in Orange County, daydreaming about being Lauren Conrad… pictures of the trip to be posted soon!

On Monday night, I expressed my growing stress to my best friend, McKenzie, and as I’m going to bed, my phone vibrates. I look and there’s an email from her. It’s honestly the most beautifully designed PDF I’ve ever opened. Along with a perfectly uplifting email message about the joys of being engaged, the dress selection is impeccable. I did screenshots of the PDF since they don’t display in WordPress. Isn’t she perfect? I want them all! Especially that beaded number by Parker. You can find these gorgeous dresses at the following links:

Ages ago (okay, maybe it was in August – time flies!), I saw the most creative ‘I’ve Moved’ card (if you could call it that). I fell in love – not only because I love maps, but also with the neon pink. What a creative idea! (thoughts continue below)
While browsing Oh So Beautiful Paper, I saw Cristina’s home warming party invitation, and I am officially obsessed. With all the work that’s taking place to The Manor, it’s going to be ages before our house is “pretty party ready.” However, Sasha and I already talk at great lengths about throwing fêtes for every little occasion. The idea of having a party while the house is still ‘Under Construction’ is great – it removes a lot of the stress of making sure everything looks gorgeous. This is most probably going to be replicated in the following months.
It’s January 8, 2013, and I still don’t have an agenda/planner yet. Cue me being all over the place with my calendar – I had to reschedule a reunion with friends twice because I forgot about a wedding I was supposed to attend and the “meet-my-younger-sister’s-boyfriend” dinner. Then there was Serbian Christmas celebrations – whoops, almost missed that too. I decided that it was time to get to work and make the big, belated decision: which planner do I go with? Thank goodness for McKenzie being paper-savvy and Oh So Beautiful Paper’s roundup here.
Last week, McKenzie ordered this Russell + Hazel planner, which is gorgeous. I saw it this morning for the first time and fell in love.
Other options:
1) While I was at the University of Texas, I rocked the momAgenda (like any cool college kid should).
2) McKenzie had a Cavallini planner last year – which was a gorgeously colored leather book, but I wanted to try something a little different.
3) Letter C is a kraft-paper-lover/organization freak’s haven. Check out their collection of calendars.
And then the analysis paralysis hits: there are so many good options. What do I choose? After reading this post on Oh So Beautiful Paper, I was sold. Laurel Denise it is! I went with the gold version of the planner below. I cannot wait for it to arrive.

I haven’t gotten on Style Me Pretty in ages, which is weird, as I used to scour it all of the time. When I did get on recently, I spotted this gorgeous soft-summer color palette-d, Southern wedding. I want to stare at these pictures all day long!
