30 Beautiful Years!

^ Them today! (on May 7th)

^ My Mom & Dad's wedding day 30 years ago! 

May 7th of this year was my Mom & Dads' 30th wedding anniversary!!...pretty big stuff, especially in the eyes of someone (myself) who has been married for 2 little months & has only been alive for almost 26 years! ...crazy. 

Chris & I spent the day with my parents with a bit of reminiscing, looking thru their old wedding album, and oogling over their super cute little wedding shrine covered in flowers that they set up every year on their anniversary. It's truly amazing and gives the universe hope that you can meet later in life (as my parents did, in their 30's) and be happily married for 30+ years! They are still so cute and unbelievably happy even when life is cruel with aging you, they spend every day together and are still best friends. I hope in 30 years from now Chris & I are half as in love and happy as they are, it's truly an inspiration and such a rare, beautiful thing. 

In honor of their celebrations, we went over to my parents house (5 min from our house in Mystic, CT) and shared a bottle of 20+ years aged magnum bottle of Veuve Clicquot with them & then had an amazing dinner out at one of our favorite restaurants, S&P Oyster in downtown Mystic. <3 

Such a lovely evening with such amazing parents! 

Whatta Weekend!

H&M turquoise earrings

Tiffany's engraved initials SMR heart necklace & a buddha I got in Taiwan for some extra good luck!

Embracing my strawberry blonde roots...until further notice.

Sam Edelman Booties...yes i wear these A LOT! I think it's time i get them in a few other colors. They are my favorite go to shoes these days.

Snake ring (gift from Chris!) and my vintage diamond band (from my Mom!) that I pretty much wear every day! The gold peace sign ring is from a vintage sale I found in Brooklyn a few years ago. I like to change up the ring I wear on top of my diamond band, but this is usually my staple right hand ring jewels!

The calm before the storm!

As you all know, today (Tuesday) is the day after Hurricane Sandy. We got super lucky here in Boston with being able to keep our power, but our home town of Mystic, CT isn't doing so well! There are tons of tree's down, ripped from the ground with roots and all that crushed cars, houses, took off roofs, and a severe amount of flooding all over the place! NOT GOOD.

This past weekend was great though! We had an awesome time with friends catching up and reuniting; we also celebrated Halloween a bit early which was hysterical and so much fun.

Friday Night Champagne Date!

OOTN: UO kimono, The Webter white dress, Sam Edelman Petty booties, vintage Carlos Falchi bag, MAYA LUNE & Tiffany's jewelry.

Mini champagne, old fashionds & beer @ AZU & The Oyster Club in Mystic, CT to celebrate being awesome. :-)

Smoking is bad for yewww. (our fireplace mantle)

Our new apartment colors!

Our bedroom is either going to be "Newport Blue" or White because we have a lot of grey and blue furniture.

The living room is kind of connected to the kitchen, so you walk thru the kitchen to enter the living room so were doing the kitchen a "Cancun Sand" yellow and the living room a "Stable Hay" color which is more wheatie looking than the kitchens' yellow.

The office is going to be a "Sagey/Restful" green which will look awesome with this new modern greenish-yellow chair  we want to get from IKEA! (if it's comfy!)

&&& our bathroom will be our famous favorite "Mint Hint" which we paint something of some-sort everywhere we live! Like our current kitchen, bathroom & the Mystic shop are all currently a mint color as well! Love Love Love! <3

Very excited for TUESDAY when we are moving in to the new apartment and can start painting!! YAY!

...and WHY was it the best weekend EVER?!...CHRIS AND I ARE ENGAGED!!! YaaYyYYY!. It was literally the most unbelievable few days of my life. This past Friday my good family friends Caitlin & Courtney (and their Mom!) all were coming down to visit us in Mystic for the weekend, so that morning Chris and I decided to go to our favorite beach in RI, Watch Hill for a few hours before they arrived later that day. Unbenounced to me, Chris had a bottle of Veuve Cliequot in his bag and as I was marinating in the sun, he asked me to marry him. It was PERFECT, romantic and such a surprise, and just absolutely amazing. It was a very emotional and memorable day, i wouldn't have changed a thing! <3

Basically this whole weekend has been like 2 weeks worth of activities, celebrating, eating and drinking all packed in to 3 days! haha
