Summer Shades

Summer is right around the corner. Are you ready?! I'm pretty close. I would like a new bathing suit, maybe something super bright and tropical for my honeymoon in Maui. But, what I've really been eyeing lately are sunglasses. I've had my trusty Forever 21 shades (in black and tortoise) for years now. I can't believe they've lasted me. The best $5.80 I've ever spent! I'm not one to splurge on designer pairs because what if I lose them? Or they get scratched in my bags? Shelling out a lot of money has never interested me, but lately I really am re-thinking my stance. There are so many gorgeous options and at all different price points.

I saw The Great Gatsby Friday night. I knew I would love it. It's one of my all-time favorite novels. I distinctly remember reading it in high school, and while most of my classmates looked bored to tears during our discussions about the book, I was completely enthralled by the characters. That whole 1920's period just fascinates me. The movie was breathtaking in its beauty. The costumes were gorgeous, and I want to wear every single dress Daisy (played by Carey Mulligan) wore. Leo looked like an old Hollywood star, very handsome. That man gets better with age. I definitely recommend it! I'm not sure the boyfriends or hubands will quite appreciate it, but many of you will.

Skirt - Express

Bag - Michael Kors

Last Saturday, my fiance and I decided to tackle our wedding cake. We went to a little bakery aptly named Sweet Layers. Just up the street from our place, it was honestly some of the best cake we have ever tried! Buttery, decadent, and probably way too many calories! But, we have our perfect cake all set to go for September (if you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw it). Everything is really starting to come together, and I can literally feel the stress slowly lifting away. I think now's the time when I'm finally going to enjoy the rest of the wedding process, and although I know I'm going to be a nervous wreck as the date gets closer, I'm soaking in all of the happy, carefree moments when I can.
