So I'm moving my site over to Squarespace, and eventually making that my site once I get my domain name all set up, but for now, go<b> <a href="http://sometimesalmostalways.squarespace.com/" target="_blank">here</a> </b>to the all-new <a href="http://sometimesalmostalways.squarespace.com/" target="_blank"><b>Sometimes Almost Always</b></a>! Leave some feedback and let me know what you think (what you like, don't like, what is or isn't working). I'd like your feedback! Oh, and update your blogroll readers (whichever you use) with the new link :) There's a follow link in the navigation bar!<br />
<br />
Thanks so so much. I hope you all like it!<br />

So, a lot of the aspects of my wedding were do-it-yourself projects with the help of my amazing friends. The first thing was the succulent book planters. We got the DIY instructions from Green Wedding Shoes, and afterwards they even featured our wedding on the site: <a href="http://greenweddingshoes.com/california-handmade-wedding-melissa-johnny/">California Handmade Wedding: Melissa + Johnny</a>!<br />
<br />
I got the old hardcover books from thrift stores and the moss, craft supplies, and succulents from Home Depot and Michael's. Check out the <a href="http://greenweddingshoes.com/diy-book-planter-with-succulents/">succulent planter DIY here.</a> The place settings were all DIY too. I-- against the rules-- helped set up all the way until I had to get ready an hour before the ceremony.<br />

The daisies were strung together by me and my friend Cindy two nights before. We made three or four long strings of them and hung them from the tree in front of my ceremony. You can see a picture of us under them in the post two below this one!</div>

We also made our own little buttons to give out as party favors, along with little bags of tea from Teavana that we assembled ourselves, and put them in little kraft boxes topped with a j + m stamp, or with painted cardboard butterflies that we glued on. The glasses for the reception were mason jars, also little takeaways so our guests had little chalk name tags on their glasses for iced tea at home! My mother- and sisters-in-law helped with that.</div>

It was so much fun planning and creating and everything. I'm such a perfectionist I wouldn't have had it any other way. If you guys want to know more about how I made things, or if you want me to make something for your wedding, or any other questions, just let me know!</div>

As a continuation of my wedding posts, I give you my wedding photo booth pictures! The backdrop was a tapestry that I hung up on foam core and then I put up empty/not-empty picture frames. One of my many DIYs for the wedding last March. For props, I had paper peacock parasols, animal masks from my friends at Sundries and Plunder on Etsy, some slingshots, giant flowers, vintage hats, chalkboard signs, an old broken guitar, and anything my guests could get their hands on (props from all over the wedding reception).<br />

Here are the ones of me throwing a bunch of hydrangeas from the ceremony up into the air. The rest are compiled into the video below, featuring one of the best Beach Boys songs ever "You're So Good to Me". Enjoy!</div>

Hey all. So here it is, the long-awaited dress + crown post. This is what I wore to my wedding, thanks to the lovely and talented Josie of <a href="http://www.francesbaker.com.au/">Frances Baker</a> and Lauren of <a href="http://bloomingleopold.blogspot.com/">Blooming Leopold</a>. The dress is the Virgins dress-- hand-tailored to me by Josie-- found <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/FrancesBakerShop">here</a>, inspired by the prom dresses from The Virgin Suicides. And the flower crown was custom-made for me by Lauren. It all came out beautifully and I couldn't have asked for better. Thanks, ladies!<br />
<br />
The wedding took place at <a href="http://heritagesquare.org/">Heritage Square Museum</a> in Los Angeles (in Highland Park). It's actually a museum of old historic LA homes that have been restored and turned into its own little neighborhood. You have to go and check it out for yourselves. They have guided tours with docents all decked out in period garb.<br />

As a surprise gift to my husband, I sang two songs at the reception: "Sea of Love" by Cat Power and "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. (Johnny's adorable nieces supplied the background vocals on "Home".) Another of my talented friends (and my housemate), Nick, played guitar for me. His band, Swiss Alps, is amazing!</div>

I hope you all got a chance to witness the partial eclipse yesterday. It was eery and strange. The pictures are unedited and you can see how different the light was. Lovely! You can also see how much of the sun was covered by the crescent shapes the shadows of leaves made. Also, we poked a hole in a piece of paper and held it up against a tree trunk and you can see the crescent shape there too. Science!

The dressing rooms at Madewell are actually white, but this is a lyric from Ooh La La by Faces. Listen to it as you peruse the blog post. Or, just listen to it. 'S good. I went to another event there-- my second-- this time for a blogger event hosted by Tammy of <a href="http://bayparkdream.blogspot.com/">Lemons, Avocados, and the Bay</a>. Super fun, with a sweet little discount of 25% off of purchases of 125$ or more, as well as sweet treats from <a href="http://www.frostedcupcakery.com/">Frosted</a> in Long Beach. It's the first time I'd ever heard of it, and let me tell you it is simply delicious. They had red velvet/cream cheese and royal white/salted caramel buttercream hi-top cupcakes which are really cupcake sandwiches with frosting middles. Salted caramel anything is my weakness. One of them, at least. I have many. (I still have a backlog of posts to create from weeks and weeks ago. Including wedding posts and crafting and DIY goodness!)<br />

Anyway, I gathered my old American Apparel coworkers and drove out to South Coast Plaza for the event at the Madewell where my little baby sister works. All of the pictures were taken by my coworker Kaity of<a href="http://www.kaitydeerly.com/"> Kaity Deerly</a>. Check out her blog. It's dreamy.<br />

I was actually looking for The Body Shop for some body wash but we ended up walking into Skin Food because it was in the location that the Body Shop used to be in. I'd heard about Skin Food before but didn't know anything about it. Apparently, it's a skin and cosmetics store based out of Korea, and there are only four locations in the U.S. (all in Southern California). Check out their <a href="http://eng.theskinfood.com/">website</a>! You'll be mesmerized, I swear. Walking in the store is an experience in itself because it's displayed in a simple, cute, organic-looking way that makes you want to buy everything in the store. You shouldn't, though, because it's super expensive, but I did end up buying more that just body wash. (Also, I've never actually purchased an eyelash curler in my life.) The smaller packets of body wash and skin care products were free samples, though. They're really nice and helpful there, and you get a little stamp card to earn a free polish, too!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_9306.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 350px;" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_9306.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_9308.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 350px;" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_9308.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_9309.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 350px;" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_9309.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_9317.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 350px;" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_9317.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15125872629366835241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358775275379643478.post-31164722983800614402012-03-23T23:17:00.006-07:002012-03-23T23:42:08.097-07:00tlo<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_8780.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_8780.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I have so much to update you all on now that everything has died down. The wedding has come and gone and it was wonderful. Before that was a lot of planning and crafting and stressing AND a trip to Chicago for the AWP Writer's Conference which is held annually, but in different locations. The first year I went was in Denver, and last year was Washington D.C. I think my favorite, weirdly, was Denver-- mostly because of the people. I think my favorite locale was D.C., though. <br /><br />Anyway, the next few posts will cover:<br /><br />1. A visit to TLO (The Loved One in Pasadena)<br />2. My trip to Chicago for AWP<br />3. Wedding preparations<br />4. The wedding itself<br />5. Shop stuff!<br /><br />Lots in store, so keep your eyes peeled! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_8782.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/IMG_8782.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />WEEKS AND WEEKS AGO. . .<br /><a href="http://thelovedone.net/">The Loved One</a> in Pasadena is a vintage shop that also sells original lingerie. I ended up buying the white cropped cotton top right in the first photo, along with the <a href="http://thelovedone.bigcartel.com/product/fuego-set">Fuego Set</a> and a super cute green printed blouse. I'll post up outfit pictures some other time.

I just want to share a lovely wonderful <a href="http://shopruche.com/lookbook-enchantment.html">Enchantment</a> lookbook from Ruche, photographed by the amazing Elizabeth Messina. It's pretty beautiful. Those floral flats are on the way to me in the mail and I can't wait!<br /><br />Also, parts of it were shot at my wedding venue, Heritage Square Museum. If you look at the outdoor shots on the couch and the one with the church, that's where my wedding is going to be. AND I had rented that exact vintage couch for my lounge area, (from Found Vintage Rentals in Fullerton) at the reception. The color story is just like my wedding palette. It's perfect timing, because now I have inspiration for the photography on the day of the wedding. Great minds, and all that.<br /><br />Here are a few of the pictures from the lookbook. Click on the link above for the full catalog. It's well worth it!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://shopruche.com/media/catalog/category/09_8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 500px;" src="http://shopruche.com/media/catalog/category/09_8.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://shopruche.com/media/catalog/category/19_3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 500px;" src="http://shopruche.com/media/catalog/category/19_3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://shopruche.com/media/catalog/category/17_4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 500px;" src="http://shopruche.com/media/catalog/category/17_4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://shopruche.com/media/catalog/category/13_4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 500px;" src="http://shopruche.com/media/catalog/category/13_4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Lastly, my best friend Abby's greeting cards are sold on ShopRuche.com, so check them out please!

From the beginning we wanted bbq, then we flirted with the idea of a taco food truck, after which we leaned to the grilled cheese truck, and back to bbq. Needless to say, today we found our caterer, who consisted of this hip little husband and wife team. We went to heir house in LA where they served us up the goods. The baked mac 'n cheese was delish, and the asparagus spears were amazing as well. Ribs and pulled pork sandwiches, here I come. (p.s. "Out Getting Ribs" serves double duty as the title for this entry and a Zoo Kid song. I don't like his new moniker, so I won't use it. You should check him out; I've had my eye (ear?) on him for a while, since my music guru (my lovey, Johnny) told me about him about a year ago. He always knows the good music way ahead of the game).<br /><br />Also, this is not the outfit I wore to do the tasting. I'll post that tomorrow. This is me two days ago waiting at a donut shop for 4 hours for the locks on my car to be changed because I lost my keys the day before after thrifting for vintage plates to use during the wedding. Ugh. I did get some short story writing done, which is good because the preliminary deadline for my collection of short stories plus my thesis is the end of March, right around my wedding day...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15125872629366835241noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358775275379643478.post-84872318262678083992012-01-26T21:47:00.001-08:002012-01-26T22:52:45.592-08:00smorgasbord 2012<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/Photo0166-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 450px;" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/smellymelsays/Photo0166-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Hey guys! I just realized, it's been just a few days over two years since I started my blog. For a good part of it though, it was just for me. Now I'm glad to say I've made quite a few friends on blogger (and other blog sites), from Erin of Calivintage, Julia of La Belle Oiselle, Lauren of Blooming Leopold, Ashley of Milk Teeths, Kathleen of Flightless Darling, and many many more. Thanks all for reading! You're the best!<br /><br />Anyway, I know I've been super AWOL for the past few months, with a haphazard post here and there, but I'm planning on getting better. By the end of the week, check out some new merch in the shop, HoneyBee Vintage. Can't wait for you to see all the new precious things!<br /><br />Also, I've been getting lots and lots of wedding planning done. I found a wedding dress! Tomorrow morning I get to taste cakes! Yeah, yeah!<br /><br />Here's a few of the recent happenings in photos (all blurry camera phone shots, sorry). Have a great week, all!<br /><br />p.s. Blueberry donuts are heaven.
