The Great Christmas Tree Hunt - 2010

Wow, it's been a while. As the Christmas trees start going up, Beth and I are start getting amped up for our annual Christmas Tree Hunt. Each year since we started working together, we've been searching for as many trees as we can find. Here are some pictures from our first year.

Jersey Girls

Long time, no see! I just went to New Jersey. It was a fabulous time filled with cute nautical outfits, crab cakes, beaches, boats, lighthouses, casinos, and far fewer tan juice-head guidos than MTV lead me to expect.

We started the trip off right with a quick sun soak in the backyard.

Night Circus

We wore cute rings.

Chevron Ring

Anchor Ring

 I made us some fabulous t-shirts by dip dying them and using the freezer paper method to apply the design.

Along with matching t-shirts, we all had matching friendship bracelets!

Madewell Friendship Bracelets

We took a boat ride and saw pretty things.

We had goodies waiting for us when we arrived!

We made raspberry summer brew.

 

We walked into the sunset together.

There were many patterns and nautical accents.

Colorblock Cardigan, Triangle Necklace

Nautical Bracelet, Costa Blanca Tank

Tribal Bracelet

We went to Long Beach Island and climbed a light house.

 

 

We wore cute kicks.

Keds

And no kicks.

 

 There were also a lot of J. Crew Patterns (lobsters, anchors, ect).

There were also long walks on the beach.

And skips on the beach.

And polka dots!

Cheap Necklaces

So, I know knock-offs are terrible for the fashion community, but I can't resist what Ebay has to offer. A $16 fringe necklace?! Yes, please! Not to mention bubble necklaces, bib necklaces, Anthropologie & J.Crew lookalikes, ect!

A Very Classy Easter

My Easter was interesting. As with most holidays over the past year, I joined Sister's Bakery for some sugar cookie decorating. I just celebrated my One Year Anniversary with Sister's, thank you very much.

Then we went to church of course... 7 am church! Cute outfit, huh?

(Don't know how well you can see those pockets, but they each hold a wine bottle perfectly!)

Then my husband decided to drag me on a 100+ mile joy ride with a bunch of hooligans while I was wearing my Easter best. Nothing more traditional than a Volvo Tokyo drifting around Missouri with a polka dot clad screaming wife!

Then we celebrated Easter/Mom's Birthday with a cheese tournament (complete with bracket...sort of), wine, and a macaron cake (more on my macaron obsession later).

Top Models: Part 2

That's right. More pictures from our "modeling" experience. It's been so cool seeing pics from so many different photographers. These photographers are located in Kansas City, St. Louis and San Antonio. Take a look! I'd definitely recommend all of them!

Top Models: Part 1

My husband and I were asked to model for photography workshop over the weekend. We pretty much love getting our picture taken, and I think we're relatively photogenic! What do you think? These shots are by Aimee Geis Photography. Check out her website!

 Handsome, right?!
