Love is Blind

-
Over the weekend my mom's cousin and my second cousin, Tommy got married to his partner Ryan down in Rhode Island!  We drove down the day of the wedding all dolled up and ready to celebrate with everyone.

Words cannot express how happy I am for him and for Ryan that they are officially married! It's very exciting.  The ceremony was quick but very meaningful, funny and filled with tears of joy.  It was quite easy to see that Ryan and Tommy are very much in love and I was so happy to be apart of their big day.  Here are a mix of photos that I took and also my cousin Andrea's husband Sami took as well.

It was also great for the whole family to get together. Most of my mom's cousins live out of state or more than 30 minutes away so it's rare that we get to spend time together.  But last Friday was a great chance to celebrate and cut loose with some of my favourite people.

Tommy (far right) had his long time roommate be the officiate of the wedding. He was very humourous and spoke about how he and Tommy were technically already in a common law marriage because of the number of years they had lived together but he was willing to share Tommy as a husband with Ryan.

More photos are behind the cut!






I now pronounce you...HUSBANDS!

In my own opinion, love has no gender, creed or race.  We should all be able to love whomever we choose and whoever is right for us, no matter what.  Gay or straight we should have the right to spend the rest of our lives with them.  Hopefully one day gay marriages will be allowed all over the country and other parts of the world.  It's a steady climb to the top but there will always be bumps in the road.

Love who you love with all of your heart

Polka Dot Queen

As you might of seen in the last post, I really enjoy getting dressed up for special occasions!  This time is was no different.  Usually I end up going out and buying something new to wear to a wedding but in this case I already had a dress in my closet.  A few months ago a girl I worked with at Timberland came by my desk with a dress that she said was a gift from someone but it didn't find her exactly.  She's a little bit shorter than I am and the proportions were off for her.  That's the down side to being a petite girl! (I'm not even at 5'2!) So she was kind enough to bestow it upon me!  I've been waiting for the right occasion to come along and this was it! The polka dot dress from Forever21 has a cute little peplum and also a mesh top which adds character to the dress.  It also has the sweetest peter pan collar and a keyhole back.  The shoes are Carlos by Carlos Santana and I got them for a steal at Buffalo Exchange in Philly a few years back.

David Bowie: Fashion Icon, Rock Legend

David Bowie January 8th, 1947- January 10th, 2016 Although I'm writing this several months after his death, I still wanted to bring forward the importance of David Bowie and his contribution to music and fashion.  I do have to admit, I never was a huge  David Bowie fan,but there has been a number of songs and outfits that have inspired me over the years. In his life, Bowie produced 26 albums, did 14 world tours and appeared in 21 films and television shows. He accomplished so much during his time and his death was a huge loss in the world of rock and roll.  While all of these accomplishments are great, there have been some iconic outfits that have been worn by Bowie in the past years that made some of these moments famous and never forgotten. Life on Mars Some of Bowie's most famous suits were designed by Freddie Burretti , including the suit he wore in the music video "Life on Mars."  Not only did he design the blue suit, but a lot of othe

Dark Vibes

Hi Everyone! I'm back!....I think. Since I went on hiatus, I've moved twice, got a new(er) position at Destination Maternity and still have been interviewing my butt off hoping that a new job will soon come along. I was really feeling my outfit the other week, so I had my roommate snap a couple of photos when I got home from work.  It's really a shame that it gets dark so early these days.  Don't get me wrong, I love  fall but I don't love how short the days become. The scarf was a gift from an old roommate.  Her boyfriend's mother had given it to her but she didn't want it.  I'm not exactly sure why  but you can never have enough scarves if you ask me! I've always enjoyed black on black on black looks.  The only problem I ever have is my blacks will never match, ever! #gothgirlproblems I got the shoes over the summer from Forever 21. They were the last of their kind!  A lot of women that I work with are also
