Vegas Wedding



So about a few months ago, for my Birthday, I treated myself to a spa day. I hadn't had a facial in years, and the one I booked came with a paraffin wax hand dip. I wanted to be completely prepared and not fumbling with jewelry so I removed it before going in. Unfortunately, after my treatment I didn't make sure it was still in the zippered pouch of my purse before I left. Later that night I went to put my rings back on, only to find that they were missing! Immediately I called my salon (because it's a little far and dark roads are not my friend at night), they looked but no one had turned them in. Needless to say they were gone for good.


Fast-forward from my countless searching, sadness and feelings that my husband must think I am super careless and will never trust me with nice things again. We decided to replace them and not just put the new rings on but make it a special occasion! We booked our favorite vacation spot...Vegas!! We had always joked that it would have been fun to get married in Vegas, so this was our chance! We made reservations at The Little Neon Chapel for our anniversary date, June 30. I started looking at Pinterest ideas (bc that's what almost every girl does when scheming a plan) and I came across this:

The inspo for it ALL:


The real deal (is by designer Alex Mearing, but here is a close version:

As it got closer I realized she got married in November so it was a little cooler. We were renewing our vows in June which is hotter than SH*# out there! I found the perfect dress on Amazon and you can order exact measurements if you are in between sizes (at no extra cost). With a slight alteration from my mom, who really should have been a seamstress, I was set! Here is how it all turned out! If you are thinking to book your wedding, renewal, commitment ceremony The Little Neon Chapel is awesome! They respond quickly to emails and are super friendly, they take photos, they are right downtown so no need to worry about transportation like some of the others. I honestly can't say enough good things about them! I hope you enjoyed my Blog about our renewal!

LV Monogram IWatch Band

I promised myself I wouldn't get sucked into the world of IWatches but oops. Currently my wrist is in a brace, nothing major just a sprained wrist but I am missing having my watch!! Since I began wearing it all day everyday I decided I needed a fashionable band! I went to my "go-to" for online shopping and found the LV Monogram IWatch Band for under $30! I carry Louis Vuitton a lot so I was concerned that buying a dupe band the colors might be slightly off. I found one in the reverse monogram and absolutely LoVe it!! Hopefully my wrist heals soon so I can wear it again! Here is the link from Amazon! Enjoy!               CLICK LINK HERE

THE sweater dress to XO this holiday season

I LOVE this dress so much! I can't wait to find something to wear it to again (actually I might just hang out in it at home, lol). It is super comfy and flattering! I wore it to Mike's holiday work party last weekend, paired with gray OTK boots, a gray fur snood and my green Kate Spade bag. (the bag I wore is very similar, I could not find the exact one but the linked bag is on sale!) Also, the snood I wore was from LOFT a few years back and unfortunately no longer available but I did link one similar from Express (and it's on sale)! Perfect holiday look! Scroll down to get the links to my outfit and see the discount code for this dress!       Use Code: "Heather35" on xomandysue.com for 35% off!!           

Madison, Indiana

   We had a wonderful weekend in Madison, Indiana this past weekend. We started out Saturday morning, taking back roads all through Indiana along the river. We went through Lawrenceburg, Rising Sun, Florence (Indiana not Kentucky, where Belterra Casino is), we crossed the bridge to see the Locks in Warsaw, KY, then onto Ghent. We found a wonderful family owned distillery ("Neeley Family Distillery") . It's near Kentucky Speedway, 11 generations of Distillers! From there we crossed back into Indiana and onto our final destination in Madison. The thing I love about road trips with my husband is all the things we see along the way! We never set out to drive somewhere and don't stop at least twice to see something random. We knew there were some good wineries along the way (Ridge Winery, Lanthier Winery and Thomas Family Winery) and we wanted to check out Rising Star Casino and Belterra Casino. Those we had planned, but the distillery was a fun find and being an engi
