Fall Resolution...

I'm a big fan of New Year's Resolutions, but committing to resolutions just once a year is not enough for me. This year, I've decided that I will have a few "Fall Resolutions", one of them being to Blog more.  Blogging is something that is very new to me...writing has never been my "forte". So what better way to become better at something? Practice. So here goes...

As some of you may know, 2010 has been a very special year for me. On July 31, 2010, I married my wonderful husband! This day was not only special because I was marrying the man that I admire, respect and love, but also, being able to plan my own wedding was a dream come true.  I understand that it's not all about the wedding...it's about two lives coming together......I am all about that too, but I admit there was a part of me was totally all about the wedding! 

Throughout our 14 month engagement, I had the opportunity to work with many incredible wedding vendors and I want to profile each vendor who helped me and my husband have a day that was beyond perfect. Please follow along on my 10 Part Wedding Blog showcasing some of the different Toronto or Fredericton based vendor that I had the opportunity to work with.

Watch for my first post next week...featuring my FAB Photographer Julie Whitlock! 

Until then, here is a pic of me and my husband leaving the church after signing our lives away!  Ha. Just kidding!

Sweetly,

I LOVE candy...but I also love a few other things...can anyone say Louboutin?

I realize that I run a candy buffet business, and technically I was hoping to write each and every blog post about my love of candy (which I do LOVE), however, I’ve decided to switch it up a bit and occasionally throw in some other LOVES of mine.

I’m starting today!

Two words. Christian Louboutin. I LOVE his shoes.

Now…my fiancée and I just bought a house, we are in the midst of planning a wedding and we don’t have big fancy day jobs…so I’m not really in the best position to be buying tons and tons of $600+ pairs of shoes. Especially when there are other really fun things to spend our money on, such as...a new vacuum cleaner or property taxes or a new dishwasher. Needless to say, wearing a pair of these beautifully crafted, Ohh Soo elegant shoes on my wedding day was nothing but a pipe dream. Well peeps…that pipe dream came true on December 31, 2009. My lovely little sister (and trusted MOH) surprised me with my very own pair of white satin, peep toe, beautiful red soled Louboutins! (Love you Jacs!) The best wedding gift ever…sorry fiancée…not your size! LOL Now everytime I watch Oprah...and I see her wearing a pair of CLs, I say to my fiancee, "Oprah and I wear the same shoes...imagine that!".

So, I wanted to share a few Louboutins that I love…as well as pics of my very own! Maybe someday I will own another pair, but for right now, knowing that I have a pair in my closet is good enough for me!

Enjoy,

Marijke
