All Things Girlie… And I Do Mean ALL

Dress / Clutch

Happy Monday! Well, I hope yours is happy because this is literally a week I have been dreading for over a month now. Y’all know that I am brutally honest about most things in life… okay really everything… and I tend to share those in at least the opening of every blog post I write. ONE… because Mark always calls my blog “my therapy” and TWO… because you guys ALWAYS have the best advice! So let’s just say that this week is packed full of some not so fun “procedures”. For most of my life I have struggled with iron/anemia issues, most likely brought on at least initially by my refusal to eat meat since the age of 13. And over the last two years it has gotten pretty severe. So severe that they want me to do iron infusions. Ugh. As you may know from “My Weight Loss Story“, I am NOT a fan of taking or doing anything “unnatural”. At all. Ever. So seeing as though I refuse to do that PLUS my levels keep dropping even on a full dose of iron pills, they have scheduled me for several procedures to rule out blood loss from a number of ways. Oh and if you are a part of the 3.5% of men who read my blog, according to Google Analytics, and you have not already exited this blog post, I maybe suggest doing so now 😉

So tomorrow I am visiting the good ole’ female doctor to try one last way to “stop” my cycle and then Thursday I will be “prepping” for that wonderful thing most people get to do when they are like fifty. PLUS, I am also having an Upper GI that same day to test for Celiac Disease since my blood work came back as a possible positive for that disease. Whew! You sure didn’t know what you were getting yourself into when you clicked on my pretty new purple lace dress! Hehe no really though, so that is that and I am of course praying for positive results on all of that jazz. My REAL question for y’all though is in regards to my last resort option to “cure” my low iron and that is a hysterectomy. Literally my very last resort but would LOVE to know your thoughts or experiences with that at a young-ish age like me.

Enough with the heavy stuff, let’s chat dresses. Because I LOVE dresses and lace and all things fun and girlie. I purchased this dress for my recent Dallas Conference, along with like twenty other dresses, and never got a chance to wear it. It was one of my faves though and just had to still share it! I love that it is so feminine yet still modest in length and super comfortable too! I am really excited to start diving more and more into fashion since I love it so. Saturday I put Mark in charge of the camera and gave him a quick little “camera on manual mode” lesson and he did pretty dang good! I am even thinking about doing a quick little blog lesson on it too! Winnie followed us outside and wanted to take part so he got some cute ones with her as well.

As far as fit, this dress and the wedges are very true to size. My dress is a size small and my wedges are a 9 which is what I typically wear. I have had lots of questions about these wedges so I want to add that they are SUPER cozy! Okay comfortable is relative because they are super high but they are WAY more comfortable than most any heel I’ve worn that high. Have a fabulous day my friends! Oh and I am SUPER excited to share our crazy Summer plans on my next post so stay tuned!

So over the moon happy to share that yesterday THI So over the moon happy to share that yesterday THIS HAPPENED 💍 for the other half of AW ♥️ The last three years have been something CRAZY for Ab and I but getting to not only witness but to also play a part in one of the happiest days in each of our lives over these last twelve months has been nothing short of PURE MAGIC ✨ Looking back at all of the tears and uncertainty and heartache we’ve each experienced “together” it feels kind of unreal that each of our fairytales have officially come true… absolutely INCREDIBLE, genuine, steadfast men that we both get to call our FOREVER AFTERS 🥰 There is truly NO ONE more deserving of a fairytale than Abigail. She’s more positive adjectives than will fit on this post… basically every single one in the dictionary… and then some. And believe me when I say that if Jess wasn’t absolutely perfect for her, I would’ve thrown myself on the sidewalk for all she’s done for me. These two love birds are the ABSOLUTE CUTEST EVER and I could not possibly be more thrilled for them and the countdown to their big day…. ♥️♥️♥️

My first true outdoor design project is coming to My first true outdoor design project is coming to life ♥️ And I’m IN LOVE! When John and I made the decision to keep my home and make it OUR HOME for the long term, I decided I wanted to bring the European vibes y’all know I LOVE into our own backyard. It quite honestly wasn’t even as much about adding a pool as it was about the vibe I’d been dreaming up as a whole. Wanting to create an outdoor space that felt warm, inviting, whimsical and elegant. All of the things I try so hard to evoke with my style. A place we can keep our now family of six entertained or just a place John and I can sip coffee in the mornings or wine in the evenings as our kiddos are growing up way way too fast. Bringing what we love about the inside of our home to our fabulous backyard. Thank y’all for following the progress over on stories the last few weeks! It’s far-ish from done for me but you did say y’all wanted to see more pictures on my feed… 😉 Work done by @garrisonmessick and @connergrading ♥️
Y’all voted… MORE PICTURES IT’LL BE! And why Y’all voted… MORE PICTURES IT’LL BE! And why not a little design advice and room details with every post too! 💗 I’m often asked if someone wants to start implementing a more colorful, pattern filled style in their home, where do you even begin? I think the best place to start playing around and living it up is sometimes the smallest of spaces where it’s “okay” to play it up! Laundry rooms, powder rooms, mud rooms and of course kids rooms can be great place to start. I mean, who doesn’t love walking in the door from a busy, stressful day into a vibrant, fun mudroom?!? A few details… The trim color in here is a color I created for our kitchen six years ago now that I am still completely obsessed with. It is a 50-50 mix of Sherwin-Williams Uncertain Gray and Stardew. Both at full strength. It is the most perfect gray blue and it never gets old! Also, this wallpaper is available at shopaddisonswonderland.com and I also blogged a full detail tutorial on how we created this penny tile floor writing. Search “penny” on my blog under the Menu. Happy Weekend!
Okay I have to ask… PICTURES OR REELS? I’m so Okay I have to ask… PICTURES OR REELS? I’m so torn! I joined Instagram to share and be inspired by beautiful designs but I also love sharing the process and progress of it all on a Reel. HOWEVER, sometimes I’d love to just scroll and not have my phone blast a new song at every finger swipe. Anyone with me??? For today, sharing our newly completed living room ♥️ Feels so good to call it DONE! HAPPY WEEKEND!!! P.S. If you’ve been following along on stories we are doing lots in our newly landscapes backyard from filling it with furniture to filling pots to place around the pool. Hope you’ll follow along! Lots pictured here is on the @shop.LTK app under @addisonswonderland and about half including the pillows, lamps and lighting is from shopaddisonswonderland.com!

Goooooooood morning!!!! Ab here 🙋🏼‍♀️ Goooooooood morning!!!! Ab here 🙋🏼‍♀️ Although it is not Portugal, I am sharing the next best thing this morning, state side #ad  It's crazy when the vision you dreamt up over a year ago starts to turn into a reality😭😭😭 Y'all, I am over the MOON about these sofas.  I knew I wanted to go with leather in this space and the #SvenSofa from @article blew my expectations out of the water. This room is constantly used for game nights, late night hangs with the girls, and the occasional lazy Sunday nap AND it is SO dang cozy.  Who's coming over for dinner???  #ourarticle  Swipe to see where this room AKA the “Key Lime Pie Room” started… who else loves those office lights?!?
