A Pitner Perfect Wedding


Oh. Hey guys. Remember me? Yeah probably not. I know, I'm the worst. MIA for more than a year. Absolutely redic.

BUT WAIT! I had a good reason. No, a great reason. I got married! Yes, it's true. I got engaged and fell off the blogging circuit for a while. So sorry about that. But you know, I had some minor wedding planning details to deal with, so yeah, blogging had to go for a bit. Which is really unfortunate because I DIY-ed the heck out of my wedding. I mean the HECK out of it! So I missed a crazy amount of DIY posts I could have created and treated you guys to. Le sigh.

Anyhow, here's a post absolutely full of a ton of wedding pics in hopes that you guys forgive me. I will say that all the insane amount of planning actually is worth it. Me and J had the best wedding day ever. It felt very unique to us and our interests. We chose a random place in the middle of downtown Birmingham that is not a wedding venue at all. I literally stalked the owner because I had ran past this place and thought it was so fantasticly perfect. It turned out to be owned by a local artist who was extremely kind and generous to let us use his property for the day. Between the locale, the band and our guests, everything was absolutely everything I could have ever wanted it to be. (oh, and the groom too, of course :)

And just so you know, I'm super duper interested in blogging again, but since my life and interests have changed somewhat (just somewhat, I still love clothes and fashion, don't worry!) I am currently racking my brain for a new blog title and focus. So as soon as I get that all nailed down, I promise to let you guys know so you can start catching up with me again.

OK, hope you've got some coffee or a snack or something handy, because here are way too many pics for you to scroll through!

































ps. HUGE thanks to Laura Menconi and Amy Dobelstein for capturing these magical moments and also to our friends Ben and Emily of Carolina Story for giving us the best soundtrack to our wedding - EVER. period.

Ideal vs. steal: Metal belt



I've been obsessed with gold accessories (mostly jewelry) for a while now. But gold adornment on belts is something else entirely. It's just a tad new for me. I think it all started with a rad purchase I made at the Brooklyn Flea last fall—a black stretchy belt with gold Native American headdresses as the closure. Um yeah, awesome.

Anyhow, I had started noticing a lot more gold cuff type jewelry recently that I was drawn to and then the other day I saw a photo of girl in a black jumpsuit with a belt that looked like a gold cuff. I was smitten immediately; and thus the obsession began.

So I did some searching and found this beauty from INTERMIX, but I was certainly not smitten with its price tag. And that's when I found this pretty amazing and almost identical metal cap belt from Necessary Clothing for only $8.99. Too bad Christmas is over and I can't put it on my wish list! But at least at this price I can purchase it for myself.
