I finally found the VS eyeshadow I talked about last week in Undiscover! I've been using it on my eyes and then brushed it on the tops of my cheeks too.

Standard lunch in CA. You have to get extra spread though for your fries! For those of you who may not know, spread is like fry sauce (50/50 mayo + ketchup) with some relish. It's delish.

Groopdealz was featuring the infamous bubble necklaces. I like how they look, but they're so trendy I've avoided them, but for $10 I didn't want to pass them up. I was between yellow and blue and thought to buy both, but chose only one color. Then I picked one up for my sister too.

Proof I can bake from scratch! Hubs was really craving some banana nut bread and I made this all by myself without hazard. It was delicious too! The hubs' exact words were "amazing". Kudos to me!

I'm still in love with braids in your hair. I'm totally not over this trend and I hope it never goes away. I'm also wearing the VS shadow here on both my eyelids and cheeks.

This Savina gold polish is one of my favorites and an easy go-to for me. I topped my ring/thumb with the Sephora by OPI Gold glitter, but it wasn't really showing up like I thought it might so I put on some OPI Glitter to make it pop.

This weekend I met up with a good friend for lunch. It was so great to see her and spend hours catching up. I'm wearing Old Navy's quilted vest and I love it. I have a yellow one from college and have been wanting a black one for over a year. I haven't taken it off since it was delivered. It's so cozy!

I ordered our Christmas cards this week and they arrived so fast! I really love the service and quality at Shutterfly. We buy our cards there every year. This year's card is super cute and I'm forcing myself to wait until December to mail them out. Last year, I had them sent out before Thanksgiving! LOL.

Pomegranates are one of my season's favorite fruits! My mom used to get them for my sister and I every year and we always had one in our stockings. I couldn't wait to dive into this beauty. It tasted like childhood.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Shutterfly is having a blogger promotion again this year, check out last year's here, and I couldn't be happier! I've used Shutterfly for years now and everyone loved last year's Christmas cards I sent out, see those here. They were super cute and gave me a way to use our engagement photos and this year I plan on using some wedding photos for our cards. Gotta make use of pro photos right?

Have you used Shutterfly before? Their website is so user-friendly and they have a great selection of products. Right now, I'm actually working on some photo books for our honeymoon trip through Shutterfly. Their quality is really nice, the photos are crisp and clear with great color, the cardstock is thick, and their designs are adorable. 

This year, they have so many Christmas cards  and Holiday cards to choose from, I'm not sure which I'll use yet, but here are some of my favorites so far:

So Mod Snowflake Holiday Card

Modern Pinecone Holiday Card

Holiday Love Sketch Christmas Card

Shutterfly's 50 Free Holiday Cards Promotion

Guess what bloggers!!! Shutterfly is offering 50 FREE Holiday Cards if you blog about it! How amazing is that?? Check out the offer here if you're interested and they will fill you in on how to become involved.


Have you ever tried Shutterfly before? I use them all the time to print pictures and make cards. Their site is really easy to use and they always have great prices with quality work. I'll be using them for my Save the Dates for the wedding and for gift tags on the favors.


This year is a great opportunity to use pictures from our engagement photos (see here and here) for Christmas Cards, Gift Tags and I'm thinking about making some Personalized Gifts for our parents too as an extra gift. I can't wait to make use of all the pictures and I'm trying to get as much out of them as possible before they're replaced with wedding pictures. I'm thinking of using a few different designs to mix it up a bit and to use the most out of my favorite pictures. Getting Christmas cards with photos on them are my favorite and I keep them long after the holidays...in fact I have three Christmas cards on my fridge still from last season! I love seeing and having pictures of my family and friends and always keep them as a keepsake each year.


The Shutterfly 2010 Holiday collection is so cute and has tons of designs to choose from. Here's some of my favorites that I'm thinking of using:

For our Christmas Card, I just love the colors and the young fun look of this card:

These Gift Tags are SO cute!

I think our parents would love a Canvas Picture too:

That's it my dears! What do you think of the designs I've chosen? Have you used Shutterfly before? They have TONS of products and amazing designs.What's your favorite designs?
