Hologram skirts and deserted diners just work, ya know?
10 Places I'd Like to Travel, Pt 2
I have the travel bug.
…who am I kidding - I always have the travel bug! And as much as I hate flying, it never seems to hold me back because experiencing new places and meeting strangers is what I live for.
I feel so bad for Tyler because he never hears the end of it. My go-to lines: "I need a vacation" or "I need to get away" are frequently used in The Weir House.
While I don't see parting ways with work or my computer in the near future, I dream through images on Pinterest of places I want to see one day, and I love to share them with you!
Dream on!

I love Pinterest because it introduces me to all types of people, designers, and styles that I otherwise would not find because let's face it...we can all be a bit bias sometimes.
Have you ever seen more beautiful jewelry in your life?!! ...Oh, how I love quirky people. The coolest part about these pieces are that some of them are "themed" complete with smiley faces and popsicle baubles stuffed between rhinestones.
So. Good.
As I was scrolling on Pinterest the other day, my eyes were met with a fierce bolt of color. I gazed upon pins and pins of gorgeous Swarovski crystals intertwined in mesh cases and worn as necklaces and bracelets. The idea was so far fetched that I came to the conclusion that it was pure GENIUS.
Enter Pepper Cotton.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can wipe the drool from your chin because these cost a pretty penny!! One bracelet can retail for $275.00! However, I truly believe you can't pay a price for unique and can't wait to get my hands on one of these. Better start saving!

I love incorporating film and digital images. More importantly, I adore film all by its little lonesome self! If I didn't have a job that heavily relied on me touching my SLR every single day…I would permanently switch to film. I swear!
It's difficult to make the switch, though, because my SLR is always by my side every day for work making it extremely convenient. Blah.
This weekend was a lovely one! I had my brother and his girlfriend come stay with us in Florida. Although it was short lived (our house was a halfway stop for their Disney trip) it was great to have family over. Now if only my parents would come down!!!
Tyler and I have been looking at houses recently. We've found a bunch that we like, we just need to get a few more things squared away before we make any initial moves! Still exciting though.
We went to our towns farmers market for the first time and loved it. I found a tent offering authentic Greek food and we bought some homemade baklava. HOMEMADE! Did you hear me? It was delightful and the people behind the booth were very kind (...and SO greek!!!!) We've been wanting to plan a Santorini trip for fall 2015 so this just made me really want to jump all in and get this thing planned! Any of you been to Santorini? Tips for this gal?
One of Tyler's friends had a birthday this weekend and we joined him and a few other co-workers on the beach for drinks!! They were all the loveliest people and I look forward to getting to know them more.
Hope you guys enjoy today's outfit post. I have a few more up my sleeve!

Hump Day
Happy Hump Day, my peeps!
This past week my husband and I launched wearwillow.com and have been working out the kinks, photographing inventory and so much other stuff that goes into managing an online website!!! We've been SO busy that Saturday night was declared "no technology night" and we played board games (Taboo!) Boy, did we have fun! I highly recommend doing that if you're needing to unplug!
Check out the site and let us know what you think! Everything is under $100 and perfect for the girl on a budget! We add new inventory throughout the week and you can stay up-to-date on new additions by following @willowboutique on instagram!
Thanks for the love guys. I love you all!
Herbal Steam Facial
Stress.
I get it so easily and carry most of it in my shoulders. Because of this, I have a headache all day long! I saw Free People's botanical facial steam and ordered it hoping it would help me relax.
Not only is it beautiful and full of organic flowers, it has a delicious smell. Directions say to pour hot water into a bowl, put a small scoop of the blend into the hot water and put a towel over your head to create a "tent" for the steam to hover. Breathe it in for 5-15 minutes and you're sure to feel relaxed and stress free!
Hooray for herbs!
Barn Wedding
My sweetest friend got married this weekend, and I'm still beaming from experiencing the most beautiful day with her! The wedding took place at Providence Hill Farm in Jackson, MS (my hometown). Tyler and I drove back in time for the rehearsal dinner and all of the bridesmaids (myself included) spent the night in the bridal suite the night before the wedding day so that we could take it easy while everyone got ready. We were so spoiled! The brides parents took care of everything for us, from limo's to providing hair and makeup, breakfast and lunch...I felt completely pampered!! This weekend was a total vacation!
I know it's cliche when you hear people say that the bride and groom are "perfect for one another" but this couple is truly the definition of perfect. Watching them interact the whole weekend completely warmed my soul. Their love for life and for one another is so transparent and I look forward to seeing the beautiful life they create together!
Below are some snapshots of my experience as a bridesmaid at her wedding! The fact that I even had time to take pictures at all baffles me! Ha! There were so many more pictures of the GORGEOUS evening I wanted to get but didn't have the equipment nor the time. Boo hoo!
So eat your heart out, this one is a STUNNER.
