TBO Gets Married: Updates

{image}

68 days and counting until we say "I do!" Wedding plans are in full swing around here (my latest project above).  I will pop in where I can within the next few weeks, but I need stay focused on my wedding plans as we get closer and closer to May 31st. Next weekend I have trial runs for my hair and make-up and one of my final dress fittings. The first weekend in April we have Go Blog Social in Kansas City (can't wait to see all my girls again!) - you can still get a ticket here, followed up by my bachelorette party in Galena, IL with my bridal party and a few of my closest friends. Time is flying and I can't seem to slow it down! 

In the midst of all of this wedding planning, Emily and I are hard at work for StyleEsque, so stay tuned for updates for our new endeavor! As always you can find wedding updates here and my latest DIY projects for Divine Caroline here. I'm currently taking a mini-absence from Juice Magazine, but will return this summer after my honeymoon! 

I can't wait to bring you fresh content in the coming weeks, but thank you all for understanding if things are a bit quiet around here!

XOXO

WWDMAGIC Gift Haul

A few things about this video before you watch. It was once edited through its entirety before my computer deleted it, so this is the second run of it. It's a bit obvious I'm new to this 'vlogging' thing. I say the words 'amazing,' 'um,' & 'great' more than I should, I need some new words to add to my vocabulary when describing things. If you hear the pitter-patter in the background, that would be my Lola Bear making the rounds on our hard wood floors. But alas, that is not what this video is about.

It's about the amazing generosity we were shown at WWDMAGIC. Over 90 brands gifted product to all of us bloggers. We showed up and each of us had our own little corner of goodies to sort through. It like Christmas and your birthday, combined! So without further adieu, my gifting haul!

My Style: Blanket Cardigan

gifted Lush Cardigan | J.Crew V-Neck | J.Crew Jeans | Converse | gifted Urban Expressions Bag {similar}

Sometimes I struggle more with what I am going to wear on the airplane than what I actually end up packing. After sorting through all of the goodies while repacking for home, I knew that this sweater was going to be coming with me on the plane. It's big enough to keep me warm and cozy when they turn up the AC on the plane, but light enough to stash in my carry-on!

What's your airport attire? Do you have any go-to outfits, tell me below!

What's In My {Lo & Sons} Bag?

gifted Lo & Sons O.G. Bag

In the weeks leading up to WWDMAGIC, I knew I had to find a new carry-on/computer bag since mine was stolen back in September. I needed something durable, functional, and of course, stylish. That's where Lo & Sons comes in. L&S sent me the OG Bag, and let me tell you, it was love at first sight. As a chronic last minute packer, this bag made it easy packing late at night prior to catching my flight the next day. There was a pocket for everything and the addition of the adjustable strap was a life saver when my Mary Poppin's habit made the bag heavier as I stuffed it to its brim, even Lola wanted to come along to Vegas! See my bag in action!

Carry-on Essentials:

Magazines | gifted Fashion First Aid Kit | Laptop & iPad (chargers) | Kate Spade iPad Case | Lodis Business Card Case | GiGi NY Wallet | Revlon Lip Stain | Kleenex | Sugar Paper for Target Notebook | ban.do iPhone Case 

Of course, the one thing missing in these photos are my in-flight essentials, a package of Sour Patch Watermelon!
