If I won the lottery today...

I would go on a shopping spree.

After taxes, donations to charities, putting MOST in savings, paying off debts, etc...

I wouldn't say that I am THAT stylish or have an incredible knowledge of fashion, but I do wear what I like! I have had my eye on a few pieces that I wish I could afford...so if anyone wants to donate to the Jordan's Closet Fund, please contact me below ;)

First, I have been searching for this designer ever since I saw this being worn on Gossip Girl. I had almost given up hope of finding it until I saw Emma Ryland from Dallas wearing one a few episodes back! Its from Van Cleef & Arpels, and I have never even heard of them until now!

Next, I just got an email from my dear friend Kate Spade announcing a new bag. Of course I am instantly in love. It also helps that its name is Catherine Street Pippa. Now, I don't think it is a coincidence that it is named after the two most elegant and classy British Royal and close-enough royal, do you??

Something that is MUCH more affordable and I might convince my better half to buy for my birthday (in July...SO far away!), are these Tory Burch Studs.

That's all for now! Enjoy the rest of your week!

"Let Them Eat Cake"

In the upcoming weeks, I wanted to share some details about our wedding! I know there are many ladies that are either planning their weddings or planning their "Pinterest Weddings" so these will be the posts for you!

Today I wanted to discuss one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process, CAKE. I am obsessed with cakes, watched all the cake-making/decorating shows on TLC or whatever the channel, wish I could be one of those talented bakers, etc. So, needless to say, my wedding cake was very important to me. The bakery we chose was called Delicious Cakes in Southlake. We went to a tasting and I was SOLD when they offered Red Velvet cake. Seriously. Obsessed, I tell ya.

For my cake, I wanted total elegance and sparkle and that's exactly what we got! 6 tiers, alternating between Princess (yellow cake) and Red Velvet with a cream cheese butter cream frosting. Incredible. I had a quilted pattern with gemstones, fondant bows with brooches, and a monogram "M" cake topper. I love my sparkle, what can I say! and as Tierra from The Bachelor would say "Don't let anyone take your sparkle away!"

David "chose" an incredible Kahlua Mocha cake topped with fudge icing with the Texas A&M seal on top. We couldn't have a wedding without throwing in some classy Aggie touches!

We had separate tables for the Bride and Grooms cake and for decorations, each table had a picture of the parents at their wedding cutting the cake. I had seen it at a wedding earlier in the year and LOVED that idea.


What does your ideal wedding cake look like?

My Valentine ♥

It was six years ago today that a sweet boy put a teddy bear and box of chocolates in the front seat of my Jeep Wrangler parked at Carroll Senior High School, WITHOUT a note! Thanks to my best friend's hints, (more like verifying my hopes), I called this sweet boy to say thank you and hung up with a date for the next Friday night.

Who knew that I would be married to this boy six years later? The Lord did, and I am so thankful for that!

 

As for our Valentine's Day plans, we just finished a romantic lunch of Chick-fil-a, and tonight will consist of us going to Home Depot for supplies to finish the overhaul of our living room. We go all out, obviously. :) Our real Valentine's celebration will be later on in the week, after we complete "renovations"!

Wedding Picture Preview!

I know y'all have been waiting patiently to see wedding pics and I figured this dreary Monday would be the perfect mood lifter! (at least it is for me!) This is just a preview of some of my favorite pictures from our big day! All of the following photos are taken by the wonderful Kris Ellen Smith. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding right now--or in the future! Enjoy!
