Awards, Round Two

I am pleased and rather flattered to announce that Two for Tea has just received our second blog award! Thanks to MinuteObsessions for awarding us with a Stylish Blogger Award!!!

Now for the "seven things" list...which I'm theme-ing to current obsessions:
1. I am currently obsessed with OneRepublic music...my playlists have OneRepublic every other song. I think my roommates might be a little tired of them.
2. My Amazon shopping cart currently contains 20 white ostrich plumes, 12 retro glass ice cream dishes, 100 yards of grey and black grosgrain ribbon, 36 floating tealight candles, and 2 antique wrought iron birdcages. I'm wedding shopping.
3. I just bought a SILKY SOFT boyfriend sweater with raw seaming/edging for $7 from H&M and I'm going to wear it the rest of the week because it's SILKY SOFT. Did I already say that?!
4. At the moment, I'm reading a fabulous mock vintage copy of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short stories. I adore him. I adore him.
5. I am currently reading Sidewalk Ready every single day...just because I think Kayley is amazingly adorable and inspiring.
6. My food of the week has been chicken noodle soup. Below-zero weather does that to ya, I guess.
7. And finally, Thomas Carlyle. I know, you probably have no idea who that is because I'm a total history FREAK. But seriously, he's fascinating. His philosophy of history rocked this world...he is the perfect representation of the religious climate in Victorian Britain...what an amazing writer...aaaaaand I think I should stop. Thanks for overlooking that.

P.s. I promised you amazing pics...and they will be up TOMORROW!!!

That Will Last Til the End

Just photos today, as I'm working madly on homework today! Wedding planning took over my Saturday so literature, science lab, New Testament history, and Thomas Carlyle in Victorian Britain have officially sacked my Sunday :(

I've picked out wedding music!!! The prelude will be "Claire de Lune" and the processional will be "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." The recessional will be Ella Fitzgerald's "Love Is Here To Stay." Since we're having a traditional church wedding, I have to pick one congregational hymn: either "Blest Be the Tie That Binds" or "O, the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus." Votes, please???


Also, if anybody has further suggestions for very soft romantic classical music for the prelude...let me know :)

Lullaby and Goodnight

1. First of all...there will be some good pictures on this blog within the next week. Just sayin. Keep your eyes open.
2. Secondly...took these pictures last night just about as I tumbled into bed :D
3. Third...I bought wedding dress fabric this weekend!!! Just one step closer!!!

There's nothing like layering pearls. I have ivory, pink, brown, white...big, medium, small, seed...long, short, in-between, double-stranded. Mixing and matching them just takes any outfit to a new level, ya know?

Also...it is 20 below today...and I FROZE walking around campus in tights!!! So you just might see a bundled up, layered look up here tomorrow...

If You Are What You Say You Are

Made a hit with the fiance with this outfit...he couldn't get over my necklace and the colours in the plaid. He's always complimentary and sweet (I'm a blessed girl), but once in a while I'll put something on that really strikes his fancy. It's funny though, because I never know what he's going to like or dislike...and he's quite opinionated! Sometimes I'll put on an outfit that I think he'll be wild for and get no reaction but the ordinary...and then the next day I'll just throw something average together and he'll LOVE it! There is no rhyme or reason.

Do you have a favourite date night outfit? Or an outfit your significant other really loves?

I Cheated Myself

Actually, I have cheated myself...of a great photo opp. with the Fiancee today. I should have grabbed him after class and had him take a few quick shots outside our chapel. But I forgot. Therefore, you shall have just a couple snapshots. Alas. My poor public, hehe :D

This is just a quick post sans Jessica...cause she got CAST IN A THEATRE SHOW at school!!! I feel like a proud Mama. Can't wait to go see her onstage again.

If You Need Somewhere to Fall...

So...I have totally fallen in love with these pants. That's where I have fallen...into the perfect pair of dress pants! They fit sublimely, I love the vintage silhouette, and they are the exact right length with my heels :)

Not to mention they are that perfect shade of grey that works with browns, navy, black, white, and even brighter or richer colours. You can wear them so many ways!

Aaaaaaand these purple shoes. Let me tell you. They were $6 at Payless a couple years ago, and I've gotten well worth the wear out of them. They just add the perfect pop of colour, you know? I suppose I should wear more colour as a general rule :)
