Wedding Wednesday!!!

Hello all! It's Wednesday and you know what that means.... wedding talk. I wish I could say that I had made progress since my last installment of WW, sadly, this just isn't the case. I might actually be even more confused! There are just so many beautiful weddings that inspire me... I could get lost in the countless wedding blogs and sites. That being said, I am convinced that I need the help of a professional (NO, not a shrink!). I have recently been looking at Las Vegas wedding planners and am really excited about the two agencies that I will choose from. First is Green Orchid Events, I get a really good feeling about this company. They always email me promptly and with detailed information The pictures of previous weddings they have coordinated look amazing. Check out the link to see them, I wasn't able to copy them here. Next is the Las Vegas Wedding Concierge, which likewise has some to die for photos of past galas! I am going to get more information from both and hopefully make my choice so I can meet with one of them in June!! In the meantime, here are some photos of wedding inspiration that I was able to post....

So I know I said I wasn't a flower person... but how can you not loves these? Carnations are so versatile and another huge perk is they are cheap!!! 


More ways to display them at your event.


I love the white ones with the black ribbon! So modern. Hopefully you enjoyed todays installment of WW (wedding wednesday).

Style Saturday

"You have a much better life if you wear impressive clothes" Vivienne Westwood

In keeping with my tradition of themed post, I thought I would deem Saturdays as style days. I am not sure if I agree entirely with the above quote but I do know that fashion has always been a big part of who I am, I love getting dressed and putting things together that reflect my mood. I have been doing a lot of online shopping to get ready for summer and just to update my wardrobe. Its difficult because my husband has put me on budget (a strict one!) because of the wedding. My favorite stores are pretty expensive so I am trying to find a balance of high and low priced items without giving up the WOW factor. Internet shopping is a great way to price compare and find styles you like and then find cheaper alternatives. There are so many styles that I am really loving right now like bohemian inspired fashion, and super high wedges. However in Korea we cannot have cars so my clothes have to be fashionable and functional.

I really love jeggings (jeans+leggings) because they are comfy and cute. I just bought two pair (on sale) from Lindsay Lohan's line 6126. I got the ones shown below and some blue and white ones. Super excited to get them and try them, I hope they fit.
More often then not you will find me in heels, but since I have to walk everywhere I have been looking for cute flats and there are some really hot choices right now.
I love the splashes of bright colors on these. I think they would be super cute with a bright romper or jean shorts. They are affordable too! By Chinese Laundry
These are a flat version of the crazy popular caged shoe trend. I love them. Also by Chinese Laundry.

I have always loved handbags and just snagged a HOT one from Deux Lux. I love their bags because there is no brand name print all over them and they have amazing detailing work. Here is the one I got...
Happy Shopping!

Jonna & the Pussycats...

So, I have been very blessed to have met some of the most amazing people in the short time I have been here in Korea. I usually have a hard time making girl friends because lets face it, women are crazy...lol... but I instantly hit it off with the two girls in my office, Ashley (the blonde) and Carla (red blonde hair in the red top). Ashley is hilarious, she is outspoken and loud and we have so much in common. Carla is the sweetest person ever, she is one of those people that never has a bad thing to say and I love her. We drive the boys in our shop nuts and they gave us the nickname "Jonna and the Pussycats"...haha... me and Ashley are gonna get shirts made.

I'M BACK!!!

Oh man, it has been so long since my last post! So much has happened....we had a huge inspection so I was working ridiculous hours and coming straight home and sleeping...but that is all over now so I will have lots of time to post. A quick rundown of what has ben going on with me and the family: Carter is finally back home with Lance after being in Washington with my mom and Nebraska with Lance's mom. He is so huge and grown up now (see pictures). Every time I webcam with him I am just blown away...


Lance says that Carter gets really excited when its time to webcam. I am so grateful that we have the ability to webcam, I would go nuts without it. Carter kisses the screen and waves bye-bye and I almost feel like I am there with him... I will be going home in June and cannot wait to cover my little pumpkin pie in kisses.
