Pinterest Sunday

Time for my weekly Pinterest roundup! Every Sunday, I share with you a few of my favorite finds from the previous week.

This week, I took inspiration from my blog's name. I LOVE argyle (as I hope our wedding recaps have shown), so I searched Pinterest for argyle and found some awesome stuff!

First up, an amazing nursery.

How awesome are those walls? Can you believe we actually don't have argyle in our house? Right now, I have other plans for a future nursery, but this would be so perfect for us. Good thing I don't have to make any decisions right now!

Next, how about 2 of my obsessions in 1 item?

Argyle and an owl! This wreath doesn't seem to be on Etsy anymore, but I bet I could make it! This would be cute on our front door in the fall.

Finally something that just might inspire me to learn how to sew after all.

An argyle fleece throw! This would be great for our sofa and we could finally have some argyle in our house.

Wedding Wednesday: Anxious Bride Walking

It seemed not long after I arrived at the church, it was time for the wedding to start. I anxiously watched the clock and hoped that everything was going according to plan as I had no idea what was going on in the church above me. Soon, it was time for the girls and me to get ready to walk down the aisle.

Because we were in the basement of the church, getting to the front of the church unseen was a bit of a journey. There are 2 staircases out of the basement. One brings you directly into the church. Not a very dramatic entrance. The other, brings you into a reception hall directly behind the sanctuary. From there, we would have to exit the church in the back and walk around the church to the front. And I wanted to do all of this unseen!

Not sure why I look so terrified as we made our way to the stairs.

The trickiest part came when we came up the back staircase. This staircase also has an entrance to the sacristy, which is where M and his groomsmen were hanging out. I made one of the girls go ahead to ensure they were not in sight of the doorway.

After that, it was a walk around the church and to the front door. This is about the time I realized that yes, my shoes were not on tight enough and if I wasn't careful, I would lose them.

Concentrating on keeping my shoes on my feet and not tripping!

As you may have noticed in previous pictures, our church's front doors are solid. After entering these doors, you are in a small vestibule with clear doors to the actual church. Because of that, I could not actually enter the church until it was time for me to walk down the aisle. My dad stood in the vestibule and watched for when it was time for the girls to enter. Meanwhile, we posed for one last picture.

Hair Inspiration

Remember a couple weeks ago, when I showed you how my hair has been growing for the past few years? And how I want to donate it after I cut it on my birthday in January? Well, I went for my regular trim last week and my stylist measured my hair when we were done. Right now, it's at 8 inches which is the minimum for donation. Which means, by January it should be pretty long! Like, so long, I don't think I'll be able to last that long. So, I may be cutting my hair off sooner than January now.

Which means, I need to start figuring out what I want to do with my hair when I cut it off. Thanks to my Pinterest obsession, I've been pinning some cute hairstyles that I like and today I want to share them with you! These are all great inspiration for that post wedding chop or post donation chop!

When I saw that Kira Knightly had cut off her hair awhile back, I fell in love. This is a great simple, yet cute style. It looks like it would be very easy to wash and go, which is exactly what I want.

Here's a similar style, but with bangs (which I have) and it looks like more layers. My hair is thick, so layers tend to help it lay better.

I love Sandra Bullock and this style is super cute on her! This is great inspiration if I want to keep a little of the length and not get a bob.

Another cute bob with longer bangs and layers. I don't like my hair in my face, so not sure that longer bangs would work for me.

This is a cute style on Katie Holmes. It's not really a bob, not sure this would look so cute on me.

I love what Dianna Agron has done with her hair. This is a fun look, but I have a feeling I'm too lazy to actually style my hair like this.

This shag looks good on Kim Caldwell, but I don't think my hair would do as well with this one.

Even though I don't like Paris Hilton, I have to admit this is a cute hairstyle on her. I love the bangs, but I think this is a little too short for my first haircut. Maybe if I still want to go shorter after the post donation chop.

As you can see, I have a lot of inspiration, but I'm still undecided on what to do for sure. I trust my stylist, so I'll probably take these pictures to her and ask for her opinion. I'm leaning toward something like the first two pictures for the first haircut.

Have you done the post wedding chop or donated your hair? Where do you get hair inspiration?

Pinterest Sunday
