it's tough being a ginger...

this little seal was abandoned by his family for being a ginger (albino).  

so sad...but so cute!

disclaimer. i should definitely not be posting the following. ok...moving on.

i have never been a fan of/excited about wedding dresses. however, the following dress is darling and i like it.

i could totally put up with it. i think i could even get excited about it. of course i would want one that hit either just below or above the calf. i love the sleeves and neckline. and it appears as if one could still move...even dance in it. anyway.

finger candy

i was home in texas last week and my mom had given me baby clothes she saved for my children. i told her it would probably jinx me if i took them with me so she agreed to hold on to them. and now i'm posting a bunch of pictures of rings. oh well.

here's the thing. if i have an opinion on something it's typically a pretty strong opinion. so i thought i'd share :)

i personally don't really like traditional wedding/engagement rings. i'm not really a diamond girl. but i am a jewelry girl, kind of hardcore in fact. so here are some rings that i think could possibly work as a wedding/engagement ring but don't fall into the typical category.

looking at the pics i've collected i don't really shy away from yellow gold. however i think most of the above rings could be just as appealing in a white gold setting. i don't really want a ring that sits high. with a faceted ring i appreciate a hammered band but with a polished stone i like a smooth band. so nothing to fancy, i'm a casual girl. the last one is of a diamond but it's small and very unassuming.

anyway. now that i've posted this i'm probably hosed on ever actually getting one but whatevs. my friend alex used to get the tiffany's catalogs just so we could pick out which engagement ring we'd choose. us girls can be so silly sometimes :)

oh the awkward things in life

this is how i constantly felt about les bisous in france. which side do you go to first?! and if you both go to the same side...way way awkward.
