Anne's Art Cards Giveaway

The College Prepster is hosting a giveaway of Anne's Art Cards on her blog.

Check it out here to enter!

I love this card and think it would be so cute as a graduation announcement... should I ever figure out where I'm going post-grad!!


Happy Tuesday. xoxo, E

Fall, hurry up!

I'm so excited for Fall's arrival on Wednesday, and I'm hoping OKC checks its calendar and changes to more appropriate weather.

I'm looking forward to being a bit chilly when I walk outside... rather than instantly sweating.

I want my fall wardrobe to look something like this...

Tights, and skirts, and heels. Oh my!


Killer outerwear.


Cords and Sweaters. Yes Please.



so long bright colors, hello warm Fall tones!!

Oh hey there Mrs. Reynolds!

I posted here about Jake and Claire's wedding in Arkansas. I bumped into her in the business school on Friday and was like "Well, hey there Mrs. Reynolds!" It's funny, I have a hard time calling my friends that have gotten hitched by their new married names. I have to make a real effort. (My EB girl Jess is in my phone as "Jessica Maiden Name - Married Name" - She isn't hyphenating, but in my phone she is! hehe)

Anyway, back to Claire... Today her AH-mazing photographer Aaron Snow posted wedding pictures on his blog. I am absolutely stunned by his talent and wanted to share with you all!

Jake and Claire's pups - clearly we've got a photo diva on our hands!







These little ones were precious!!! I loved the flower girl's tutu and the sweet flowers in her hand.




This picture made me laugh-out-loud today. The expression on the horse's face is priceless!


Congrats to the happy couple!


Okay, these have nothing to do with Claire's wedding, but they are of Aaron's son. Is he too cute or what?!




Wait for it...




I almost died. LOL!!!

Okay, time to stop blogging and get back to schoolwork! xoxo, E

Saturday in Stillwater

It was a hot, hot, HOT day in Stillwater yesterday. And the Cowboys were on fire as well!

I was decked out in my orange and black for the game. Yes, I am one of those people that take pictures of myself in a mirror to asses my outfit =)


I love the stadium. There was so much orange yesterday. It's a bit overwhelming!


I really love the marching band at half-time. M makes fun of me because of how excited I get. My high school didn't have a marching band, so I'm still amazed by the talent and precision it takes!


As I said, the Cowboys killed Tulsa. The final score was 65-28.

Every time OSU scores: a canon is fired (and yes, I jump every time)...

The male cheerleaders run the OSU flags on the field...


And Bullet comes out for a victory lap... definitely my favorite part. Poor Bullet though last night... He sure did get his workout!


What a wonderful Saturday in Stillwater!

xoxo, E

Go Pokes!!

Off to Stillwater for the OSU football game!!

Happy Saturday! xoxo, E

Jacob & Claire

It was a beautiful weekend in Arkansas celebrating Claire and Jacob.

M and I stopped in Henryetta for a restroom and Diet Dr Pepper stop. There was a quaint little bbq place and these guys were outside. I think they are absolutely adorable! Can't you just see them on the cover of Architectural Digest?! hehe


Following the outdoor wedding, we moved on to the reception. What a fun time with friends!


Jacob had a groom's cake in the shape of a Tabasco bottle.




This was my favorite. The large picture of Jake and Claire is made up of small versions of their engagement photos. Such a neat idea!!


Back to reality and school... Congrats to the couple! xoxo, E

Dearly beloved...

It's wedding day for Claire and Jacob!!

M and I are off to Fort Smith to see this beautiful couple say "I Do."

Happy Saturday! xoxo, E

Thank you to all those who serve for our freedom and peace to those who have perished in its name!

I love blogger friends (in case I hadn't mentioned that)

Thanks to Julie at Brown Eyed Belle for

award!

The rules are:
tell seven things about yourself & tag seven blogs

1. I drop the "L" bomb farrrrr too often. I always say, "Oh, I love him/her!" or "Love you!" to people that I pass on campus. This is something I'm working on... saying it when I mean it.

2. I love being from the south, but I'm dying to move to the northeast after I graduate in December!

3. If I had been a boy, my name was going to be Harrison Foard Newton. Pretty sure Papas was 110% sure I was going to be a girl... why else would he agree to that?! LOL. Momma justifies it by saying that Foard is a family name and the spelling is different (but we really know the truth - the woman has got it bad for Indiana Jones!)


4. I constantly talk about how much I hate Oklahoma and how stupid the weather is (which it is), but I have actually really grown to love it. Shhh, don't tell anyone though.

5. I am obsessed with shopping. I used to just think that I enjoyed it, but now I know that it is actually a problem. So much so that I almost bought "Confessions of a Shopaholic" movie because I wanted to see just how similar I was to Becky Bloomwood (love the books). Don't worry, I resisted the temptation.





6. I have always been incredibly studious, but I just can't seem to make myself truly care about school this semester. I much prefer hanging out with my friends.

7. I am a sucker for the "J Crew" boy. There's something so classic and all-American about the preppy style!


I tag the following lovely ladies:
1. The College Prepster
2. Miss Gina at Hiya Luv
3. My EB girl, Jess
4. Meg's at Megan's Pointe
5. Summer at Summer Harms
6. Melissa at The View from Five Foot Two
7. Gigi (my newest follower!) at Guilty Bliss

Weekend in Dallas

Well, I had a wonderful weekend with Mommacita in Dallas. And a big THANK YOU to Papas for flying out with her for lunch on Saturday then turning around and flying straight home.

(quick explanation: we fly for free on US Airways and are put to the top of the standby list if flying with Papas (the employee). Saturday's flight from CLT to DFW was full and Momma wouldn't have gotten on by herself. So like a trooper, Papas gave up his Saturday to fly halfway across the country and back to simply have lunch with us, hehe)

After Papas left, Mommacita and I hit the outlets!


After doing some MAJOR damage at JCrew, we stopped by the rooms' (can she still be called that even though we no longer live together?) favorite fro-yo place in Dallas. Mmmmm it was yummy.


We were both exhausted and crashed early... and slept in on Sunday. We ran back by the J.Crew outlet to pick up a few more things then hit NorthPark = Heaven!

My credit card got a workout this weekend but I'm so excited for my purchases =)

And of course... I've got a new item for my wishlist:
Love these bags from Michael Kors! And pretty affordable too!

That night we went to my favorite Dallas mob hangout... I mean restaurant... Campisi's

The atmosphere is legit sketchy. The front door is a red leather, padded door with no window. You walk into the main dining room and it is so dark with a well-lit picture of a godfather-esque gentleman hanging on the wall. LOL. Loves it!




The pizza is oh-so-yummy!


p.s. the sign outside says:

It's a cover-up... I'm telling you.

Okay, so when's the next road trip to the Big D? I'm ready to go back now!
