DIARY // FIRST TREE
major hottie.
christmas has come to the liira’s!! wooooot. seriously, all i want to do is make a mug of hot chocolate and sit and stare at the christmas tree. we also have christmas music playing 24/7. and leftover cookies from the baking exchange i went to…oh did i mention they’re almost gone…5 dozen…yikes (i’ve given some to guests i’ve had over, don’t worry!!)
i can’t do christmas with a fake tree. i just can’t. so this year we borrowed a tree stand (thanks richmond family!), ventured to country grocer and picked up this beauty. i did want to go to a farm and chop down a tree BUT it was much cheaper this way and it seems like a great tree. and mmmmmmmm it smells like heaven.
tonight is our staff christmas party…SO STOKED. oh and today i picked up louboutins (pics coming tomorrow!) from the thrift store for $70 (thanks Rayael for finding the goods!!) yay, it’s a dang good monday.
hope you have a delightful day!

RUFFLED
eeeeeeeeee. i’m a little late on sharing this but you may have seen it on my facebook already. ruffled blog, who i would read daily as an engaged girl (ok and admittedly, before i was engaged too..haha) featured our wedding on their site on monday!
ruffled contacted our photographers, AMERIS over a month ago and asked to share the wedding. obvsy i was over the moon! they had me fill out an online form, which took me forever but i’m overjoyed they included a lot of my answers.

MONDAY QUOTE
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” -C.S. Lewis

COUCH DREAMS
we’re on the hunt for a couch. it’s going to be a long hunt. we’re not insanely desperate. we do have a couch. it’s just the most uncomfortable thing. ever. like seriously, uncomfortable. and a horrendous colour. but it was free, so i can’t really complain….. if money weren’t an issue, i wouldn’t mind one of these lovelies. how beautiful is that mustard one!
ps. watched hugo last night on netflix…SO SO SO SO GOOD.
