All you need is wine

Inspired today to look up images on google about weddings at vineyards. 

Already got my bookmarks for you girl!

I should have put the patent down!

Just saw this in an LA Time Article and I must say, I am a little annoyed!

 I TOTALLY had this idea. Oh well...at least someone else brought this into fruition! 

How cool to give these cute things out at your wedding for those women that 

have feet that are giving up after a few hours in heels?

 Or even a special thing to hand out to your bridesmaids to keep

 their tootsies feeling brand spanking new!

A vending machine for saving soles

When it comes to vending machines, Silver Lake’s Cha Cha Lounge trumps all. Owner Kevin Willis stocks his bar’s vending machine with unexpected and ever-changing goodies. Items include Rubik’s Cubes, local ‘zines, Japanese snacks, T-shirts, pregnancy tests and — ahem — adult protection to prevent the need of said pregnancy tests.

Matt Horan might just give Willis a run for his money, though. In September, the 27-year-old from Bristol, England, plans to unveil Rollasole at eight nightlife destinations around town. The concept is a vending machine that dispenses flats to ladies whose feet can’t take another moment in their sky-high, toe-pinching heels.

 

Rollasoles, which come rolled up in a shoebox, are available in a variety of shimmery colors including silver, black and pink and cost $8 to $10. The purchase also comes with a bag to carry your heels home in.

The idea came to Horan after many nights carrying his girlfriend home from the clubs. It wasn’t easy finding a UK vending machine supplier to work with, however, so Horan revamped recycled cigarette machines. He introduced his product at six Luminar venues around England in May 2008 — and his business took off running. In about a year, he’s sold 60,000 pairs, expanded his distribution to Ibiza, and gotten in on the wedding market. Next up, he says, “We will be testing the concept on the U.S. market on a small scale in New York and L.A.” Participating venues will be finalized next month.

In the meantime, perhaps Willis will consider stocking Cha Cha’s vending machine with Rollasole flats.

Itty Bity Teeny Weeny Mini Fries and Burgers?

The dinner has been served. The cake has been cut. The alcohol has been flowing and the dancing is coming to an end. What now? Well a new craze that has been showing up is a late night snack for guests as the party winds down, which gives you and your guest one last hurrah before the day ends! From mini grilled cheese sandwiches to mini cotton candies, the world is your oyster if you make em small:)

Mini Strawberry Milk Shakes to end the night!

Yippe Ki OH! Mini Sirloin Burgers

Root beer floats and carmel corn? YUMMY!

Cookies and milk are the perfect way to end the night.

Fries in cones help soak up the alcohol at the end of the night:)

So ADORABLE!

How do you eat your oreo?

Serve your coffee with these cute little doughnuts on the side!

Perfectly spun cotton candy sweet sticks. Great addition to a candy bar as well.

I'm Smitten...

When TD and I got engaged, my best friend Kristy had a little BBQ to celebrate with our friends when we came back from Ojai. It was a blast and really sweet of her to do. Needless to say, Julia (one of my other besties) and Kristy decided that no impromptu party was complete without fake mustaches.

 See the pictures to note how much fun ensued from these little patches of fake hair:

The Ladies enjoying the mustaches

Julia and Daigs (Best Man) strike a pose!

Which brings me to this AMAZING idea that I found on Brooklyn Bride. There is a company by the name of Smitten Sticks that provides these fun and unique accoutrements for your photos! Check out the pictures below and visit their site! What great things to add to a photo booth option at the reception!

Ninety-nine red balloons..Floating in the summer sky

Something I am seeing more and more of is the use of balloons in engagement pictures, ceremonies, etc. and I am not going to lie...I think it's peachy keen. 

There truly is something so magical about balloons. 

Take a peek. 

Get lifted. 

Feel inspired.

You Have My Heart

I saw this on Green Wedding Shoes and seriously just about melted. Those of you who know me, know I have this strange obsession with writing personalized notes. I love it. I think that it is truly a lost part of our society ever since emails, texts, and such came in to play. TD and I don't even do Christmas presents anymore...we just write each other cards (which I think I enjoy a lot more than he does).  So of course, a cute and creative card is always a great purchase in my book and this one hits the top of the list! Adorable! Love this.
