Happy Friday, bloggies! It’s been a while since I blogged on a Friday and I have to say it feels good to be back. We finally got hit with a copious amount of snow last night so today I’ll be working form the comfort of my couch, fire cranked up and a working-from-home husband by my side. Tomorrow we are celebrating our dating anniversary (hey, any excuse for a celebration is a good one in my books) and the rest of the weekend will be spent away from work, tidying up this messy house of ours and maybe just maybe, checking out the local tubing slopes for some wintry fun.

Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! Tell me what you’re up to below xoxo

Just a side note: Hi Everyone! This is Rhi here. Today is rather bittersweet as it’s the sweet Lisa’s final day assisting with the Hey Gorg blog. Over the past four months I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know a bit about Lisa including her relationship with her kind boyfriend John, her goals and aspirations in the world of weddings and most of her, her enormous amount of passion for not only her work and relationships with others, but her unmistakable love and zest for life. I knew this day would come where I couldn’t keep her to myself anymore and so today marks her final Thursday post. I logged into my dashboard today to put her post live and my eyes instantly filled with happy tears. Lisa, you beat me to it; I tam thankful too. For you, and your hard work and the effort you put into all of your pretty posts and inspiration boards since you first started blogging for me this summer. How despite your school schedule,  you still managed to get posts done in time for me. But most of all, I am thankful for our friendship. I hope that I and the readers here have made you feel at home and that most of all, we will continue supporting and maintaining friendships with you long after your position here with me. We all adore you! xoxo

Happy Thanksgiving, you lovely Hey Gorgeous readers!

Today is my last post as Rhiannon’s blogging assistant, so I just wanted to let y’all know how much I’ve appreciated your sweet comments over the last few months. It was always so exciting and challenging to craft my posts during the week, and then be encouraged by your kind words and feedback. I also want to send Rhiannon a big virtual hug for giving me this opportunity–Rhi, you are fabulous and inspiring, and most of all, you are my dear friend. So, to all of you who have read my posts, left some love, and shared inspiration with me, and to Rhiannon for her friendship and support, I just want to say…

Happiest of holidays to you and yours! Come visit me on Something Pretty sometime. :)

Love,

Lisa

Happy Friday, beauties! Hope you all had such wonderful weeks. This week, for me was so wonderful in so many wonderful little ways. I had the week off from my gig at the floral salon which I surely missed, but the extra time really allowed me to get some work done, prepare for our big move (less than two weeks!) and even better, make some self-discoveries that I have to say, have been eye-opening and rather refreshing. Apb and I had a much needed date night on Wednesday and I think I fell in love with my sweet husband all over again, that’s how great it was to connect sans no phones at our fingertips. It’s also next to impossible to describe how beneficial it’s been for me to do this here and do this here too. I’ve been connecting with some people both personally and professionally lately that have really made me feel like everything is sort of where it needs to be.

And all seriousness aside, can I just take a minute to tell you how excited (ok I don’t have a word to accurately describe my true feelings but ‘excited’ will do) I am about this new home of ours?! I’ve been waking up everyday in similar fashion to a child on Christmas morning just thinking about all the parties, memories, and traditions we get to have, create and make in that snazzy house of ours. Can you all just move to Michigan please so I can have you over? Stay tuned for photos of everything finished, which I plan to post soon! In the meantime I am off to Traverse City to meet with some adorable clients. Who have hired this guy. Oh be still my happy heart. And do tell me, what are all of you fun loving people up to this weekend?

{Monday} Well this is actually a post from late last Friday night. But either way you should head over and check it out!
{Wednesday} Did you see the gorgeous bouquet from Shal and Arjun’s August wedding? I die every single time. Really.
{Thursday} Next week is the sweet Lisa’s last week with us here which makes me sad. But her post this week? So pretty.
{Prizes} We finally picked a winner from the Tasteful Tatters giveaway! Congratulations Halls in Love, please email me!
{Goals} I set mine for November and surprisingly, going public with them has held me accountable. What are your goals?

Lovely Links Around the Web

{Proud} Is what I feel when I think of this amazing chick and all the loveliness she’s made. Go be proud of her too, ok?
{Singing} That’s what my heart does with Miss Spade emails me. Well not Miss Spade herself but you get my point :)
{Excited} To get this little project underway. When you can’t afford what you want sometimes you need to get creative!
{Fringe} And I mean the kind that sit on your forehead. Still getting used to my new bangs, but seriously? I am in love.
{Drool} At least that’s what I did the minute I laid eyes on this stunning wedding. Clementines? Dahlias?  Just stop it.
{Brilliant} Anyone who thinks of this, is truly genuis in my books. Photo above from Melissa Schollaert Photography.

Happy Thursday! Lisa here!

I don’t know about y’all, but I feel stuck in the middle of fall and winter. I love fall and am definitely not ready for it to be over, but with all the holiday stuff coming out early, I keep finding myself dreaming about snowflakes, peppermint, and Christmas songs. Today’s inspiration board is my attempt at tying the two seasons together by using a fall concept and a winter color scheme–ivory, pearl, and gray.

 {Pearl neckline: Postcards and Pretties| Pearl cake: Sweetapolia| Silver ampersand: Etsy| Bridesmaids: 100 Layer Cake| White pumpkin and silver tray decor: Craftberry Bush| Threaded pearl ring: BHLDN| Ivory bow heels: Zappos| Bouquet: Style Me Pretty}

My favorite picture from this board is that BHLDN ring…I think it would make such a beautiful, unique wedding ring!

How are you transitioning between seasons? Are you holding onto fall till after Thanksgiving, or are you too excited about winter to wait? :)

Have a wonderful week!

Love,

Lisa
