For this week's Fab You Bliss Fashion post I thought, instead of designing an outfit for you, why not pull some of my favorite fashion inspirations from around the blogosphere? So here we go.
How FAB is this outfit above? From a "new" to me Fashion Blogger, Kendi Everyday, this outfit just makes me happy. I'm so in to color these days and now that I don't work in a stuffy office anymore where black is expected, I'd wear this outfit in a heartbeat.
What would a fashion post by me be without a mention of Sea of Shoes? Jane just has it going on, Click Here to Read More

A Cute Australian Couple and Their Wedding Photography Do-Over
I love the trend couples are embracing these days where if they didn't get the photography they wanted on their wedding day, they're choosing to re-shoot later on down the line. And that's exactly what happened with today's couple. Kellie and Chris were married five years ago but back then they couldn't afford a professional photographer. So after seeing Sweet Hope Photography's work, they decided a wedding image do-over was definitely in order. And just look at how fabulous they turned out. We have sun drenched images in a gorgeous field with two beautiful people, a horse, butterflies and to Click Here to Read More
A Fun Chipola Theatre Wedding with Pops of Color Everywhere!
Courtney summed up her wedding to Dylan in one word...Fun! And they definitely nailed it! Courtney used basic black as her primary color, then added in pops of color . . . everywhere! It was beautiful and festive and bright and completely Courtney. She chose to have the ceremony at the Chipola Theatre and it was the perfect location because it had special meaning to her as she spent 6 years in theater and then majored in it in college. Plus, the Chipola Theater is being retired as a new one is being built, so it is wonderful that Courtney and Dylan will always have the memories of their wedding Click Here to Read More
A Lovely Canadian Seaside Resort Wedding at The Algonquin Hotel
Nathania and Mark were married in a traditional ceremony at St. John The Baptist Chapel of Ease in New Brunswick Canada. And their elegant reception was held at The Algonquin Hotel, (formerly The Fairmont Algonquin). The couple chose a gorgeous royal blue to headline their colors which mixed in beautifully with white and various shades of blue to really pop everywhere. Combined with the elegant whites and golds adorning the stunning ballroom, this wedding was nothing less than spectacular. Oh...and I must mention the groomsmen's fabulous blue striped socks and the unique bridesmaids shoes. They're Click Here to Read More
Yummy Flank Steak & OH EM GEE…I’m Eating Brussels Sprouts?
This post is definitely a perfect Yin and Yang if there ever was one. I have some brilliantly fond memories of my mom making us this Flank Steak when we were little. Seriously it is amazing! So much so my mouth waters when I think about it. I swear, it is even right now as I write this. Yes, it's that good! It's so juicy and buttery and I can't wait for you to taste it.
Then there are Brussels Spouts, which until recently I wouldn't even go near with a ten-foot pole. My whole life I've been traumatized by these little shriveled up mini-cabbage-like things that I couldn't stand to eat. Whenever Click Here to Read More
A Pretty Wedding at The Grand Oaks Bluegrass and Gospel Hall in Meridian Mississippi
Eric and Deanna married in the presence of close friends and family at The Grand Oaks Bluegrass and Gospel Hall in Meridian Mississippi. The local music venue, owned by the bride’s family, was a blank canvass completely decorated in a unique rustic, floral and woodsy motif. Eric and Deanna’s wedding is the perfect example of how a little creativity can completely transform a simple hall into a dream wedding venue. Décor for the interior and exterior was uniquely reversed with tables, desks, lamps and chandeliers situated outside, while trees, flowers, sticks and twigs were creatively used Click Here to Read More

How To Get Your Work Published…at Least Here on Fab You Bliss
This post has been on my mind for a very long time. I've been thinking about writing it for a while, but for some reason I just never got around to it...until now. Why now? Well, at the time I started writing it a few weeks ago, I had just reviewed at least 20 real wedding and engagement submissions which I unfortunately had to decline to publish. I know, its terrible. There are so many amazing photographers out there and I want to publish them, but why am I not? The answer is because the submission guidelines which I provide on this blog under "Submissions" to help anyone looking to have their Click Here to Read More

A Romantic & Fun David Girard Vineyards Engagement Session
Don't you think there's just something about a vineyard that screams romance? I mean, when someone says, "Oh...we spent last weekend at such and such vineyard", your mind immediately conjures up romantic images...doesn't it? Well, it does for me...that's for sure. It must have something to do with the Italian culture or possibly France where romance is practically a genetic trait. But whatever it is romantic definitely describes today's engagement session of Sara and Dave shot at David Girard Vineyards by Jacqueline Photography. I love these first casual shots of Sara and Dave in the vineyard, Click Here to Read More
How To Take 2.5 Yards of Fabric & Get 3 Looks (Part 1) – How To Make An Infinity Scarf
Sometimes I can't stand it when I buy fabric for a project and there's so much left over, yet I have no idea what to do with it. So, like many of you I'm sure, I have quite a bit of extra fabric lying around I could probably start my own fabric supply store on the side. Obviously this is great for when I need a certain type of fabric and it just so happens that I have it in my left over supply. But most of the time that's not the case. So...today, (and for the next couple of days), I'm going to provide you with 3 DIY tutorials to use almost every piece of 2 and a 1/2 yards of fabric. Pretty great, Click Here to Read More
