Steppin' Out Saturday 6.25.11

It's party day! I cannot believe today we are celebrating our sweet girl's 1st birthday with all our loved ones. A birthday post will fo sho be posted asap. Until then, it's time for..

I gotta admit, I love these posts. Look forward to them every week! This week is in "I Do" date night style.

Yesterday my good friend from high school & fellow Momma blogger, Lindsey, married her high school sweetheart. 10 years & 3 beautiful children later, they made it official! My Momma had both girls spend the night at her house (Brookie absolutely adores sleepovers) and it worked out great. We got a lil date night & plus we'll have time this morning to set up for the party. Win/Win.

I tried something new with my hair tonight. Those who know me (and I'm sure you've all noticed in pictures here yourself) my hair is either up in a ponytail/sloppy bun or just laying down. I've got a beastly thick mane, so curling irons really do me no justice. Big barrel curls just fall from the weight of my hair. So I decided to try & pull a Tori Spelling/Taylor Swift move and go for a messy side bun.  

Easy.Peasy.Lemon.Sqa-weezy.

 I just teased the bejebus out of the mane (it helped alot that it was day old hair with hairspray), gathered it in a side pony, used an elastic band to make a bun, then pulled & bobby pinned wherever. Add in a lil side bangage & a lil oomph pouf on the side, and presto! It got a lil bird nesty by the end of the night, but it's definately my new go to hairstyle. Ya dig?

Congratulations to Nick & Lindsey on such a gorgeous day!

Now off to celebrate the last amazing 361 days. Let's Party, Emmy Kay!

How 'bout a vote for wedded bliss & awesome par-tays?
