Yes, I'm a Nerd, but...

Is this not the most adorable vintage schoolhouse? I would love to be married on these front steps with the crisp autumn air and changing trees!

The best part is that it is in a county park and the rental fee is nominal. Oh how I wish that I could plan an autumn wedding! I just don't think polka dots and white organza would fit very well...

I Love Autumn!

This reminds me of You've Got Mail. "Bouquets of sharpened pencils..." Such a perfect autumn image. (Image Source) Autumn also makes me want a Pumpkin Spice Latte.



Too bad this isn't on my new healthy eating, no sugar plan to get back in shape (more on that later). For now I'm off to the store for some more healthy (unfortunately non-pumpkin spice) snacks

Autumnal Inspiration

I know that it's only August, and in Las Vegas it's still a horrid 106 degrees! But something in me is programmed to start thinking about fall, and everything that comes with it, long before it actually arrives. Call it the school girl in me, but I get all nostalgic over sharpened pencils, plaid skirts, new book bags (or purses now that I'm no longer twelve), and most of all the refreshing, crisp morning air that just calls for a cup of carmel apple cider. So in honor of autumn and the fact that I would rather be anywhere cool and beautiful right now, I've made an Autumnal Inspiration Board. Even though it's not the wedding I'm planning, I love it! It's gorgeous, rich, and definitely reminds me of my childhood. What nostalgia!
