Yesterday was my sweet friend Claire’s bridal shower. We met at the restaurant we both worked at and quickly knew that we were basically destined to be soul sisters. She’s been in a long distance relationship with her now fiance, who lives in England, and whom she met in Africa when they were both on a mission trip. Did you follow all of that? She is one of the sweetest, most genuine, kindest, prettiest, cutest, most fun people I know, and I wish she lived closer so we could see each other more! She really is a kindred spirit.
Isn’t this cake amazing?! One of her friends works at a bakery, and we were all in awe at the masterpiece. It tasted as good as it looks, too. So cute, too, with the heart from California to England!
Oh and also. Apparently there was some sort of lace dress memo going around, and we all got it. ;)
In other news, it’s September. So, that’s weird. And also, just to remind everybody, it’s still Summer for another 21 days, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, okay?
What’d you do this weekend?
Have you ever been in a long distance relationship?
What’s your favourite kind of cake? I like fruit basket. This particular cake had a raspberry and whipped cream type filling, OMG, it was divine.

You two are so pretty! Love the picture of you guys. I’m so happy for your friend!! Not many long distance relationships work out in the end, I bet she’s thrilled :) I’ve been in a long distance relationship for 4 years, I get to see him twice a month, but it’s still hard. Any distance away from the one you love is going to be hard. But we look at it this way, we’ll be apart now, but eventually we get to spend forever together. That cake put me in awe!!! So cute! Just did some homework with the boyfriend, today we’ll get a workout in then go grocery shopping, then more homework haha. Have a great day :)
Aw thanks Chelsea girl! I love the way you look at your LDR- definitely makes it easier I’m sure! And you’re so right! The distance will all be worth it when you can spend forever together! :)

That cake is SUPER cute!

lace dresses are the BEST! I got a black one for college graduation and love that thing. I wish I had more opportunities to wear it!! your friend’s bridal shower is so cute- especially that cake! congrats to them for making (super!) long distance work!!
YAY lace dresses! They really are the prettiest!

Wow, that cake is so amazing! I love the lace dresses too! As for long distance relationships, the relationship I am in began with two years apart! Only about 2 hours, but it still would be weeks and months at a time that we were apart as he was busy in college! Definitely hard, but I can’t imagine being a whole country apart!
Sometimes just 2 hours apart can feel like 2,000 miles apart when you don’t see the person! I definitely get that! Glad you get to be together now :)

Love your gorgeous lace dresses and Claire’s love story. So sweet! This weekend included swimming in my in-laws pool, our 5 year anniversary pictures, and today we are headed to my parent’s for lunch with them and my two nephews. My nephews are 4 and 2. I am not really a big frosting person, so my favorite kind of cake would hands down be angel food with whipped cream and strawberries. Delish! The fruit basket cake does sound pretty incredible though.
Aw thanks Maria! Happy anniversary! That’s awesome! I looooove angel food with whipped cream and strawberries!! My mom would always make that for our birthdays! The best! :)

You and your friends look beautiful! And that CAKE?! Holy moles! AMAZING! Someone has got some major talent. :) I’m going to my best friend’s [from back home] wedding this weekend and she is the first of my group of five to get married, so we’re pretty excited to be reunited together and celebrate this occasion!
This past weekend I got to spend a few days with the boyfriend and just RELAX before the chaos of teaching begins tomorrow [or assisting…I still like to consider myself a teacher even though I’m not the lead this year..again.] But I am so excited to meet the crazies tomorrow and hopefully just have a blast of a day/week!
YAY for weddings! So much fun! I was the first in my group to get married, too! Such a big milestone :) Yay I hope you have the best first day ever tomorrow!! So exciting!

you look amazing!
