As my wedding approaches, I keep finding more and more things I need to get done. ONE detail that will take some time, is finding the PERFECT vintage dress for the rehearsal dinner. I was browsing my mom's computer a few weeks ago and stumbled upon this FABULOUS photo of my nana. I know she is reading this and will probably kill me for posting this but I think she is the most stunning woman inside and out. I just HAD to show everyone how absolutely gorgeous and timeless she looks in this photo!! Besides my mom, and well.. every woman in my family, my nana is of course beautiful and not to mention extremely wise. I admire her greatly and am absolutely in love with this photo of her. Being said, this photo has inspired me to look for a "real" vintage dress! Although my nana no longer has this fabulous dress, I am on a mission to find the perfect one. I thought since my wedding theme is "vintage", I want to incorporate as much vintage as I can. SO... I have been keeping my eyes peeled for the perfect vintage rehearsal dinner dress. With everything that is online these days, you would think it wouldnt be so difficult right? well, every single dress I have fallen in love with... has been SOLD. The dresses I featured here next to my nana are a few darling pieces that caught my eye. I found the most amazing website that sells real "hardly worn" vintage dresses. From prom dresses, to wedding dresses, to cocktail dresses to vintage shoes... this website has it all! Posh Girl Vintage is my new favorite site. Anyone have any suggestions about places to look?! If so, leave me a comment as to where to look! On a side note, I thought I would talk about my new renovated office and share with you where I work day and night. After working at home for quite some time, I figured it was time to really create a comfortable office. I went to different antique stores looking for things to help me decorate within a reasonable budget and I found some perfect pieces! Definitely check out Ikea for desks. They have a lot of good options and they are quite inexpensive. I added a small tv next to my computer so I could watch some daily news and maybe some entertainment gossip to keep me going through out the day. :) And props... I needed a little something special to spice up the room that really reflects me. Vintage cameras!! You guessed it :) Every photographer needs a well organized place to work. Besides things being in place, its important to have a place you want to go to every day.... Im not quite finished with this project but its coming along!
I really enjoy the color green. I find it really relaxing and easy to be around.
Gotta love props!
Two things everyone needs in every office. A good solid hard drive and a vase of fresh flowers. You might not agree with me and some may think flowers are a waste of money but I challenge you to try it. Buy some fresh flowers and set them next to you while you work. I PROMISE, they just make you feel better! Be sure to check out the My Book. Its super important you have your entire computer backed up at all time!
I try not to look at the clock very much but it looks nice right? :)
AND the blackberries. Its sad that I never really leave my computer. It goes along with me all day but its a vital role for my business. I have just learned to be selfish with my time and turn it off when I need to! No teasing for not having the i phone. AT&T is horrible in my area and I like the blackberry ... ok?
