The Belles of Saturday: Florida Gators vs. FAU Owls

Linking up with The Belles of Saturdayto share my Game-day posts from the first Florida Gator game of this season! 
If you aren't following The Belles of Saturdayyou MUST run, not walk over and checkout their page immediately!Honestly ladies, this is one idea I wish I would have thought of myself.I mean what's better than girls (and SECloving girls at that!)blogging about football every week?! Uhm, that's right. Nothing!
This linkup is a tad late but I know y'all will forgive me :)

Doing a little tailgating with some of myfamily before the game!

 This is my favorite part of the games! 

I think FL has by far one of the best most creative

bands with all the cool symbols they can make.

But I might be a tad biased :)

You might have to blow up this 

video to make it look better.

But [KP] took this

video of the Gators making their entrance

into the swamp!

 Trey Burton! 

 Work 'em Silly Gators! 

 My Uncle's seats never disappoint! 

 I love sitting by the band. Nothing gets your heart pumping

like hearing the fight song loud and clear!

  I love seeing the whole stadium doing the chomp! 

 It was the perfect night for football! We didn't sweat

at all and there was a nice breeze blowing. Before

the game is another story. 

 I love night games! The swamp looks

so pretty all lit up.

 Albert & Alberta :)

 Gators reentering the field after half-time! 

And look I even got [KP] to take a picture with me!
I hope you enjoyed my football link-up!Now if only the Gators would make me proud andbeat Auburn tonight!Gator Bait!

Bridal Talk Tuesday: Engagement video!

Linking up today with Elizabeth

from Life with Elizabeth.

This is the video that our Best Man's mom

recorded the day of our engagement! 

It is recorded off of a very large bridge that heads

to Sanibel Island which is why there is no sound.

But I'm sure you can tell what's happening :)

For those of you who missed my engagement

post here. 

This is what I turned around to look at:

And this is what was put on my finger:

Beverly suggested I add the last 

two photos for those of you who missed

the engagement post!

It took me a long time to upload this since

it's such a large file. 

I hope you enjoy!

Miscellany Monday

linking up for my first "Miscellany Monday"

with lowercase letters.

1. I am SO thankful for this girl! 

Beverly (I know she just announced her first name

on the bloggy so I can call her that on here now!)

from Preppy Wife Preppy Life

has been a serious lifesaver lately. She 

drove all the way to the other coast (boca)

with me on Saturday to go to a few dress shops.

And I did find two dresses I really love :)

Anyways- So glad to have her!

2. I am dying for this Lilly Pulitzer recipe

card holder pictured below. I told [KP]'s mom

that I really want this monogrammed

box filled with her recipes! 

3. Also, I'm still loving Pinterest. 

I have been finding so many great 

wedding ideas like the one pictured

below. 

It's fish bowls stacked on top of each

other with flowers in the bottom of the bowls.

LOVE! Totally fits with our nautical theme

and still looks cool.

4. My fiance' has been so sweet lately! 

I got these sweet pink roses the other day

just because :) And he used some of my 

stationary to write me a little note.

5. I really love this LP fabric

monogrammed camera strap.

My mom was telling me the other

day that my step-dad wants a new Nikon.

Which means that I'm hoping to have his old

D70 handed down to me. 

My Canon Rebel was a '07 HS grad

gift from my dad and though I love it 

and it was a great starter D-SLR

I would LOVE to use the D70. 

I've borrowed it from him a few times

and it's just hands down a nicer camera.

So of course I need this new LP strap for it!

6. So I've started doing full foils again to prepare

my hair for the wedding. It was all one color blonde

but both my stylist and I feel the high and lowlights

will add some differentiation when it's pulled up 

for the wedding. And yes, that's a PSL :)

Not sure if you can tell the difference.. but I sure

can! Much better and warmer.

7. My little daisy girl loves her dad. And I have

to admit she probably loves him way more than

she loves me. I mean of course I'll always be

her mom but she just loves snuggling with him

so much! 

8. I posted on Re-lilly last week in a panic because

of course we were out shopping and [KP] sees a 

girl wearing this Lilly dress and says it's one of

the best ones he has seen and wonders why I don't

have it. I was thinking you have got.to.be.kidding.me.

This dress was on sale during the ESS but luckily 

the ladies of Re-lilly save the day again

and I found my dress at an LP corporate

store in Texas. On sale! I was a happy girl :)

9. Loving that it was cool enough (like 74 degrees-

don't judge! I'm a FL girl.) to wear my first murfee

of fall! [KP] was super embarrassed that I 

was already breaking out the scarves

and I had to explain to him that this scarf was more

for decoration than for keeping warm. He didn't

quite understand! haha.

10. Here's some pictures of Daisy's latest adventures.

Of course lounging on the couch with her dad 

is a daily must. And this crazy position warranted 

a funny picture.

She also got to go on a little shopping

trip last weekend! It was cool enough for

her to go even despite the fact that she is panting 

from walking. Lazy!

She also went with us to Joann's to pickup 

some wedding DIY things. And she loved

hanging out of the cart like this.

She was the main attraction in the store that

day.

Hope you enjoyed my Miscellany Monday!

And I finally got the engagement video to upload

on Youtube for Bridal Talk Tuesday tomorrow.

So stay tuned for that!

Boys from the South.

Have you guys heard Pistol Annie's yet?

They are amazing!

I LOVE Miranda Lambert so once I heard 

she was partnering with these two other girls 

to form a group I was excited.

I bought the album right when it came out and I've been

listening to it almost every day since.

By far my favorite song is Boys from the South. 

Listen here:

Maybe he's in Texas, maybe this town
Maybe Oklahoma plowin' up some ground
Southern Carolina, somewhere on the coast, 
Maybe Alabama drivin' thru Montgomery right now.
There's somethin' 'bout a boy from the South.

Maybe he's in Florida, somewhere in the pines, 
Maybe on the delta throwin' out a line, 
Maybe he's in Georgia, starin' at the stars, 
Maybe Tennessee pickin' on a guitar right now.
There's somethin' 'bout a boy from the south
[ Lyrics from: h
Yea, the first time I felt it I was only 16, 
And he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree.
Said "Goodnight darlin'," with a sweet southern drawl.
Man, I think I might just have to love them all –
My boys from the South.

Maybe in Kentucky, workin' in the mine.
Maybe down in Little Rock, just to pass the time.
Maybe he's somewhere in New Orleans, 
Livin' it up in the Big Easy right now.
There's somethin' 'bout a boy from the South.

Yea, the first time I felt it I was only 16, 
And he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree.
Said "Goodnight darlin'," with a sweet southern drawl.
Man, I think I might just have to love them all –
My boys from the South.

Maybe he's in Texas, maybe this town.
My boys from the South.

ohhh LOVE. I listen to this song on repeat.

Also, I think the Hunter's Wife will describe my life

when hunting season really gets going here in a few months.

He's got 17 coon dogs out in the pen
Ten 11 point bucks hangin' in his den
If he ain't a-huntin' he's a-watching a show
There's things about huntin' that he don't know

And if I was a bettin' woman
I'd lay my money down
I'd bet he spends more time in them woods
Than he spends in this house
I got myself a problem I can't figure no way out
It's like I'm married to a shotgun carryin',
Tobacco chewin', no good blue tick hound

Well, I'm sick of squirrel gravy and I'm sick of coon stew
Fence posts, shock collars, chicken wire, too
If he ain't a-huntin' he's out at the lake
Suckin' on a long neck, changin' his bait

And if I was a bettin' woman
I'd lay my money down
I'd bet he spends more time in them woods
Than he spends in this house
I got myself a problem I can't figure no way out
It's like I'm married to a shotgun carryin',
Tobacco chewin', no good blue tick hound

Go boys...

He may as well be invisible in his Realtree overalls
I can barely see him through the treestand
Seated underwear and turkey calls
The Lord help me with this problem I can't figure no way out
It's like I'm married to a shotgun carryin',
Cobacco chewin', no good blue tick hound

I love the combination of their voices together in all of the songs.

And I like how they each lead in different songs.

Fabulous album and obviously I would recommend it.

Just wanted to share with y'all some of what

I've been listening to lately.

Bridal Talk Tuesday: Bridesmaids Dresses

Linking up with Elizabeth this week over

at Life with Elizabeth for Bridal Talk Tuesday!

Well I had a few Bridal Talk glitches today.

I had planned on sharing our engagement 

video with you this week but apparently 

my file is too large for almost all hosting

sites and I finally downsized, got it 

on youtube and it has said "The video is 

currently processing, please check back in a few 

minutes" for the last HOUR. 

So I promise that this video will at some point

make an appearance on Bridal Talk Tuesday,

just not this Tuesday.

Anyways-

This week I am going to share some of 

my top bridesmaid dress choices. 

Some of my maids and I are making a trip over

to Aventura next month to visit the Jcrew store 

(and also to attend EIGHT Bridal Dress Consult appointments)

in the Aventura mall to meet with a bridal specialist. 

I have been admiring the dresses on the Jcrew site

ever since we got engaged and I really

hope I love some of them as much 

in person as I do online. 

I also hope a certain style sticks out to me

and that my girls will give some input

with this because honestly I love all of 

these right now.

 Selma dress in Dark Pacific in Silk Taffeta

found here.

 Blakely dress in Dark Pacific in Silk Taffeta

found here.

 Mika dress in Dark Pacific in Silk Taffeta

found here.

 Bow monde dress in Dark Pacific in

Silk Taffeta found here.

 Arabella dress in Newport Navy in 

Silk Chiffon found here.

 Mollie dress in Dark Navy in Cotton

Taffeta found here.

Gabby dress in Dark Navy in Cotton

Taffeta found here.

I know these are kinda hard to see and

aere much better in person and in daylight for that

matter but I wanted to try to give you a better example 

of the colors.

 These are the swatches that the fabulous consultant 

from Jcrew sent me. So far I'm super impressed

with their customer service.

I like all of the colors and I think it is going to be 

really hard to choose between them. Hopefully

my amazing bridesmaids will help with this. 

I also need to take them into Jos A. Bank to try and match

them up with the men's jackets before we head 

over for our appointment next month.

What do you guys think of these dresses 

and the swatches?

Which one is your favorite?

I hope you enjoyed my link up 

this week!

Summer Lake June Trip

I am SO behind on some of my Summer blog posts

and I forgot to post about the trip we took

to my aunt and uncle's lake house on Lake June

right after I got back from Alaska.

Since [KP] didn't get to go to Alaska

we wanted to get away and spend some

time together being engaged after I got back.

We also took my aunt and uncle's frenchie, Chloe Pearl

with us to hangout with Daisy.

 She is such a snuggly baby.

 This is what they did for most of the trip!

 I LOVE the way she sleeps. So cute.

 We did a lot of laying on the dock all weekend! 

 Daisy and I laying on the tube.

 Chloe Pearl loves giving kisses!

 And [KP] loves puppy kisses.

 love these ears!

 Beautiful lake sunsets!

 Daisy HATES swimming. But I like to test her

skills every now and then to make sure

she doesn't forget how to swim to the steps.

I love Chloe Pearl and [KP] and I have decided that 

we definitely want a french bulldog at some point. 

They are the best dogs!

Just wanted to blog about this little lake trip before 

we were completely surrounded by Fall. 

I will be updating on my Graduation and other

summer events coming up also!

Check back for Bridal Talk Tuesday tomorrow!

xoxo,

Little Miss Southern Love
