LCW Honeymoon Style: A Scarf

My dears - I completely forgot to wish you a happy September yesterday!  I think it is because I never got around to a second post, but whatever the reason is, I hope that your September is spectacular ;-)  And I must wish you a happy Labor Day weekend too!  Weeeee - I just love long holiday weekends.

It's funny how the last couple of days I have woke up to crisp mornings...I can already feel Fall in the air.  I think others would disagree, as the days are still hot, but that morning air with the cool breeze making the leaves rustle in the trees is definitely Fall in my book.  I would have to say the month of September is my second favorite month of the year.  July being my first.  But someway, somehow September is ALWAYS a good month.  I don't mind pulling on a sweatshirt to go on a evening stroll ;-)  Or snuggling up because I'm a tad cold.  Maybe that's it - September is the start of cuddling weather!  And I LOVE to cuddle.

Yet, Fall isn't here just yet. And while the days are still hot....I think this holiday weekend, I just might squeeze in a couple more days playing in the sun - slipping on a sundress, exploring a small beach town, all  while wearing a scarf in my hair.  Just like this...

I adore this look, don't you?  It has such a stylish ease to it.  Goodness, I wish I always could dress like this!

Oooh, and speaking of holiday's - wouldn't this look be perfect for your honeymoon.  You could wear it while exploring a small beach town...on the Amalfi coast!

You bet your buttons I am wearing a scarf in my hair this weekend - I must as this might be my last opportunity to do so this Summer...and I have just the perfect one too. 

Anyhoo, hoping you enjoy the last days of Summer my loves!  And do something fun...and a bit different.  Because as Aunt Millie always says:  "It takes all kinds of people to make up this world...it would be boring if we were all alike." Isn't that the truth!  ;-)

Stay safe this weekend.  Mwah, mwah!

P.S. - I plan on getting back on track, and caught up this weekend!  Plus I have some good things happening next week....Luna and Chloe Handcrafted on Etsy will be open for business on Thursday, as well as OTMVR will be in a shop - yippee!  I will have to show you my design and styling for that...which is one of the things I have been working on.  Also, I have another 'Inspiration to Creation' week coming up soon...however, I just might need your help in choosing which one to create...as I can't decide ;-)  So I'll see you back here on Sunday for some sweetness...and Monday for your Fall 'Flowers of the Week!'

Tuesday Thought: Honeymoon Fund

Hello my dears!  This week's Tuesday Thought is an easy solution to a sometimes difficult question:  How do we ask our guest to contribute to our honeymoon?   With more and more couples these days wanting to have their guests contribute to their honeymoon in lieu of gifts, I think this is a great way to do just that...

Simple and easy!  I love how it doesn't ask for contributions, and that there is a lid on the pot.  Even if I had brought a gift for the bride and groom, and then saw this at the reception, I would still contribute something.  I like to think of it this way...wouldn't your guests rather have you remember their gift as the helicopter ride that you took versus a Kitchen Aid mixer (even though I love mine)...it's memories they are giving you, instead of appliances or linens.  And memories are priceless aren't they? 

One of my thoughts that I love...is to send a note to your guests that contributed to your honeymoon fund with a picture from the honeymoon, and tell them that their contribution was the amazing helicopter ride you took (send a picture by the helicopter), or the snorkeling excursion (send a picture in your snorkel and mask), etc...  Just an extra little touch that your guests will love - promise!

Also, there are a couple of websites out there that you can sign up at that allow your guests to contribute to your honeymoon (aptly called honeymoon registry)...such as thebigday.com, honeyluna.com and honeymoonfund.com...so sign up at one of these if you feel more comfortable.

P.S. - Eeek, a couple more posts coming up today - Tuesday Shoesday and Flowerwild February...so stay tuned.  WOW, you guys are getting four posts today...I just have so much to share with you this week that I am trying to fit it all in ;-)

~ tuesday thought: honeymoon set ~

Since my brain is still recovering from vacay mode...and with 12 days of very little sleep...I am gonna cheat a little on today's thought!  But that doesn't mean my thought for today is any less special - I'd say it's just easy.  So here it is:  buy an already packed suitcase...

Like this amazing white suitcase by Lanvin that comes with a pareo, a tote and pom-pom embellished raffia flip flops! 

See easy.  Throw in some SPF and swimsuit and off you go!  Honestly, does it get any easier than that?
