okay, so there were definitely a bunch of undercover acquisitions around the wedding that i have not yet revealed and will get to, but first i must mention this new soap i just scored.  
PREFACE: I am one of those people that loves a yummy smelling soap that lingers after your shower, and i have been known to both gift and hoard it!

now, that's out, i found this while i was looking for "tops" the other day at Marshall's and accidentally purchased this, some white premium denim and a candle for my bathroom.
it smells so good, i can't wait to lather up in the morning. triple milled, soft delicious, NYC soap, holla!

and the box is pretty cool too, so i am using it as a catch all by my sink, hence the earrings i just dumped out of it lying next to it.


* also, we are in virginia this weekend for wedding celebration V2.0, if you follow me on instagram@
#annladson you can get a preview of what's to come next week, have a lovely weekend !

ever since the hb and i moved into our house we have spoken about a fan in the master bedroom, well, finally a few weeks ago, i found what i thought was a steal and ordered a westinghouse 3 blade all metal industrial fan. i love the lack of chains hanging down and the somewhat outdated wall control is sort endearing. it goes up to 5 but 3 is plenty as far as i am concerned, this thing WORKS!

so, i called the electrician twice and he still has not returned my call, so yesterday when i was supposed to be riding and the weather was not having it (what is with all this rain this time of year?) i decided to try and tackle installation on my own.

well, low and behold we have a winner!! it's awesome, and i cannot stop admiring it. did i mention the fan cost $60.00?? yes, deal!
