For those that do not know me, let me just say I am just a little bit obsessed with Anthropologie. Just a little. So you can imagine my giddiness when I see my very own photos appearing on their blog! I'll start from the beginning...<br />
<br />
About a month ago a lovely and super fashion forward blogger, Jenny Bernheim of Margo & Me, approached me about photographing a fun collaboration with Anthropologie's bridal line, BHLDN. I was thrilled and immediately on board with the project!<br />
<br />
Jenny put together three separate bridal looks featuring pieces of BHDLN's Fall 2014 line. It was an absolute dream working with Jenny and photographing multiple gowns from one of my favorite bridal shops.<br />
<br />

Hi Five Foot Seven readers! I’m super excited to be posting here today and feel extremely honored that Jenna would ask! I’m Lauren, the momma behind <a href="http://laureneliise.blogspot.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">L & The Wild Ones</a>. A blog mostly about life; my love for fashion, coffee, food, and of course my family.</div>

So, about me, I’m a full time wife and mother and a part time RN. I love DIY projects and repurposing the old and unwanted. On a regular day here in our house you’ll find a lot of noise, mostly laughter, the smell of coffee and vanilla candles, and music turned up really loud. I usually go for Kings of Leon, but lately I’ve had Bridges by Broods on repeat.</div>

A little more about what you’ll most likely find on my blog:</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
1. This year I decided to challenge myself to not buy anything (except necessary items like underthings, socks, pantyhose…) for a year. You’re probably thinking that that is a little insane, and for some people it might be, but for me shopping can be a way to fill a void of some sort, and I’m really trying to focus on having less and using what I already have more! 2.<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"> </span></span>Outfit posts, which kind of ties in with my yearlong wardrobe challenge. I’m trying to wear what I have and I also figure out what I can get rid of and donate. 3.Food. You’ll find a lot of food. Particularly baked goods. I love pies, breads, cookies, cakes… you name it. I’ve got a bad sweet tooth, but I do try to make these tasty treats with a healthy twist, like substituting all-purpose flour with wheat flour.</div>

I'm Jordan Inman & the voice behind the blog Dragonfly Tales. My blog focuses on four of my very favorite things--beauty, faith, style & fitness. I could talk for hours on each of these topics, so I unleash my enthusiasm for them in my blog posts!<br />

{A little about myself}<br />
I was born in Louisiana & raised in Oklahoma. I enjoy visits to larger cities <i>(so far i've visited NYC, Boston, Kansas City, Charleston, Dallas, Myrtle Beach, Shreveport, Chicago, Cincinnati & Atlanta) </i>but love coming home to the clean Oklahoma air & neighborly kindness. <br />
I graduated from the University of Oklahoma in May of 2013 with a bachelors emphasis in Communication.<br />
I was brought up thrifting & learned the tricks of the trade (to dig) at a young age. <i>Good style does not have to be expensive!</i><br />

<br />
To relax, I enjoy watching beauty vlogs on Youtube, brainstorming blog post ideas or writing/playing music. I've been singing for most of my life! 2014 has been a year of healthier living. I've learned to cook clean this year & absolutely love it! I got engaged to the love of my life on December 27th of 2013 & we will be married October 4th of this year!<span style="color: #0000ee;"><u> </u></span>My fiance Josh & i love to go on unplanned roadtrips. Our favorite thing to do is end up in a little town with eccentric stores & good food.<br />

Hey, five foot seven readers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My name is Megan and I'm behind the blog <i><a href="http://www.drawerfullofprettywishes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">pretty wishes</a></i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My blog is a little bit lifestyle, a little bit crafty, and a whole lot fashion!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm going to tell you a few things about myself...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to blog about clothes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Affordable</i> clothes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides the occasional designer handbag or designer shoe, you will find most of my clothing on clearance racks at stores like Forever21 and TJ Maxx or even thrift stores.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try not to ever buy things at full price. I just don't see the point. Everything ALWAYS goes on sale, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of my favorite outfits...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also love to post DIYs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I definitely do not consider myself artistic- I cannot draw a picture to save my life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But give me some crafting supplies and I love to come up with pretty things to make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to post projects that are cheap and easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hate finding something adorable on pinterest and realizing that I have to break my wallet just to buy the supplies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or even worse, finding out that I have to have superior sewing skills!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of my DIYs...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also enjoy posting about just plain old me and the life I'm living.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some things that you might learn about me are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am almost finished with beauty school!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The thought of New York City makes me weak at the knees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am obsessed with Gossip Girl and I just keep watching the whole series over and over again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love books about high school romance- and I am almost in my mid twenties!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And on that note- I have a baby face, most people think that I am under 18- I'm FINALLY getting to the age where I can actually appreciate that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to eat healthy but I live for junk food- regular coke makes me genuinely happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can not wait to be a stay at home mom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so dang emotional- I cry at everything!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I am in a bad mood, all that I have to do is look at my pinterest boards and I instantly feel giddy and inspired.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I truly wish that I could be a photographer and take amazing photos like Jenna, but dslr cameras confuse me so much!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you'd like to stop by my blog sometime, I would love to have you :) </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks so much for guest posting, Megan! Isn't she great, you guys? Head over to her blog right now to see more! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I’ve always wanted to open my own business, and studied
entrepreneurship in college. I played around with the idea of becoming a Stella
& Dot stylist and in January a friend took me on as one of her team members
– and I’ve fallen in love! Stella & Dot is such a supportive and
inspirational company and it’s so fun to have control over my own little branch
of their business. I also love getting to see a bit of “behind the curtains” of
what it takes to start – and run – your own business.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Since Jenna works with so many brides (and brides-to-be!) I
thought I’d share with y’all some of the top bridal styles for these coming
seasons. I gave my bridesmaids Stella & Dot earrings to go with their
dresses and there are so many other great ideas of how to spoil those ladies
who will work so hard to make your big day even better.</div>

But when life gets busy sometimes blogging gets put on the back burner.<br />
<br />
So since my last post SO much has changed. Mark & I are no longer Utah residents, we are officially back in the great state of CALIFORNIA! We are living on the westside and loving the change of pace that LA has to offer. (Although can I say that I do actually miss a few things about Utah - Park City, Salt Lake, the slower lifestyle, and Cafe Rio...) Our apartment is still not fully unpacked and we <i>just</i> moved our bed from the living room into the bedroom. Ha, don't ask. ;)<br />
<br />
As for my photography business, things have been a bit slower due to changing states, but they are definitely looking up!! I am working as a marketing assistant during the week and building up my business in my free time and on the weekends. I am so excited for the changes to come for <a href="http://www.jennabechtholt.com/">Jenna Bechtholt Photography</a> in 2014! Lots of exciting stuff in progress, you guys...so stay tuned!<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I thought I would share a few of my recent projects with you guys! I hope you are having a wonderful & blessed holiday season. This is by far my favorite time of the year but it always seems to just zip by! So, make sure to take some time to watch those classic holiday films, eat a few too many sweets, put all of those pinterest DIY decoration projects into action, and spend lots of time with good friends and your family.:) CHEERS!<br />

A few weeks ago I went over to visit my sister in Colorado to do a few wedding chores. ;) First, we stopped by the lovely little farm where Kyle & Alicia will be married and I got a little tour. Next, I got to take some fun engagement pictures of the lovely couple. (See more <a href="http://www.jennabechtholt.com/alicia-kyle-boulder-co-engagements-2/">here</a>) Then my mom, the bride-to-be and I went on a all day trip in search of the perfect wedding dress. Don't worry, none of the dresses pictured below was the winning dress. But doesn't she look beautiful?!</div>

the second half of our trip to SF was full of food, exploring and bay to breakers! bay to breakers is a race that goes through the streets of San Fran and behind all of the actual runners is a massive crowd of wild individuals dressed up (others are dressed down...) having a good time. after hearing about the craziness of this event for the past few years we decided we had to see if for ourselves. </div>

Last weekend Mark & I flew out to San Fran to meet up with my family to celebrate my brother's graduation from law school! While we were there we were the ultimate tourists & I was totally fine with that. We began our trip with a visit to Alcatraz on Friday morning.<br />

From housing some of America's most wanted felons to being occupied by Native American for over a year, this tiny island has quite a bit of history lurking on it. Not to mention, the grounds of Alcatraz are just beautiful. There were tons of flowers, greenery and wild birds covering the island. <br />
<br />
We spent the evening at our little loft where we ate tons of pizza, salad and just hung out as a family...with the most amazing massage chair ever. I will be shocked if my parents don't purchase one after how much we all used it. ;)<br />
<br />
The next morning we all woke up bright and early & headed off to University of San Francisco to watch Marcus graduate from law school!<br />

mark & i are so sad to see some of our best friends move out of provo. maryclaire, nate, mark and myself were all friends before we ever got married, so needless to say these two have been our favorite little married couple to hang out with for the past 9 months. i don't think there was a single week that we didn't see the cooks at least once, and sometimes it was more like 3 or 4 nights a week. from cooking fun meals together and watching episodes of madmen to sports games galore and trips to color me mine, this couple has made this past year so much fun for us. but as much as we will miss living 5 minutes away, we are thrilled for them to move back to arizona and start a whole new chapter of their lives.<br />
<br />
i always <i>joke</i> about never wanting to visit arizona again (i can't do that kind of heat), but if it means i get to see these two i guess i can make a trip out there once or twice. ;) (uhoh, what did i just promise?????) <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
we love you guys!!!!! and miss you already!</div>

GUYS, this is my favorite little snack. i'm sure we all remember classic PB&J sandwiches from back in elementary school, & well...they are back!! sort of.<br />
<br />
i remember reading in some health magazine that women who eat peanut butter as a part of their diet actually weigh less...when i told my mom this she kind of gave me that 'are you crazy' look, but i think 1 tablespoon of peanut butter won't hurt ya & it may even mean you are skinnier than you thought? ;)<br />
<br />
but honestly a rice cake with a thin layer of PB & some homemade raspberry jam? perfection. {especially when you use your mother in law's amazing raspberry jam!} this is one of my favorite mid-morning snacks or a quick breakfast when i am running out the door. & ya i could use a piece of whole wheat toast, but sometimes i would rather keep things lighter and save myself an extra 100 calories. >> rice cakes are only 35 calories! depending on how much PB&J you like, this snack can be as little as 150 calories & will fill up an empty tummy quite nicely.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
what are your favorite snack foods????</div>

<b>>></b> once i began actually cooking for fun {& enjoying it} i began to understand & appreciate herb gardens. my mom & dad both had awesome gardens {& still do} full of herbs, veggies & flowers. i was never interested in weeding with them in the hot sun, but now i'm starting to get it. i would LOVE to have my own little garden where i could grab a handful of basil for free instead of paying $3 for like 4 leaves. isn't funny how we all, at some point, start to notice little bits of our parents in us?? ;) <b>>></b> mark & i are heading out to san francisco in a few weeks to celebrate my brother's graduation from law school! we couldn't be happier for him & we are really looking forward to spending a long weekend with family in one of the coolest cities in the country. great food, wonderful company, a unique setting, wild people...let's just say i will most definitely be bringing my camera. <b>>></b> OKAY! i have some exciting news. it isn't <i>quite</i> official yet, the contract is in the process of being signed, but i have booked my first wedding! i am beyond excited to finally put my skills to the ultimate test & photograph a wedding on my own. wish me luck! <b>>></b> lastly, mark & i have been pretty obsessed with these flank steak street tacos i have been whipping up lately. grilled steak, fresh guac, homemade salsa with a bit of a kick to it, lime juice, a pinch of shredded cheese all wrapped up inside of a warm tortilla! there is probably nothing i would rather eat every day. fresh, simple & tasty. <br />

this weekend mark's dad came down from washington to spend the
weekend with us. i wish i had taken more pictures, but sometimes it is
just more fun to be in the moment & not trying to capture everything
on film!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
just to give you a taste of some of the things we did this weekend >> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mark got a much needed, brand new suit - which happens to look AMAZING on him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i resisted buying anything from anthro</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had an appetizer, main course & dessert while dining out - this never happens!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
i will still be sharing recipes but i will try to make healthier options & give you guys some yummy ideas that won't impact your waste-line quite as much.<br />
<br />
so in honor of my new state of mind here is my new {or should i say repurchased} juicer! mark & i bought a juicer when we were first married & loved making fruit//veggie juices. unfortunately i fried the motor by forcing a huge carrot into the poor little guy which it could not handle. opps.<br />

<br />
this is honestly such a great way to get some extra fruits & veggies into your bod. i love it & am happy to start up again!<br />
<br />
if you guys have any good juice recipes please do share! i have a favorite go-to blend that i love & will share with you now... <br />
<br />
jenna's blend >><br />
yields 2 large glasses<br />
<br />
3 carrots<br />
1/2 of a large beet<br />
3 celery sticks<br />
2 apples<br />
6 leaves of kale<br />
2 cups of spinach<br />
1 orange, peeled <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
i like to wait until my juice is nice & cold so you can either make it ahead of time & let it chill in the fridge or add some ice cubes.<br />

<br />
i don't know about you guys but i am always on the look out for ways to keep my skin looking youthful & healthy. i have combination skin but i am definitely more on the dry side, so finding products that deliver enough moisture without leaving too much oil on my face has been a struggle for me. i have lived in utah for 4 years now & ever since i have moved here it has felt like i just couldn't get on top of the break outs on my face. it has been driving me nuts! in high school i would get that random zit here or there but nothing extreme. i thought maybe it was hormones from birth control or my age that was causing these new acne patterns, but the more i have experimented with things the more i have realized it is the climate here that has really taken it's toll on my skin. <br />
<br />
i've tried different face washes, gotten facials, purchased a clearasonic, done face masks, bought different lotions & i'm even guilty of falling into the trap of expensive department store products. nothing really seemed to fix what was going on, though!<br />
<br />
a few months ago i started researching more natural products that help with dry skin and even acne. i decided to pick up a few products and try them out. why not, right? i have been beyond pleased with the results so far!<br />
<br />
COCONUT OIL >><br />
this oil is so versatile. you can use it for cooking, as a hair mask, body & face moisturizer, make up remover and a face cleanser. i know the term "oil" is scary when considering applying it to your face, but i'm telling you there is nothing to be nervous about! this product works on any skin type {most youtube tutorials on this product are women who have really oily skin} and helps deliver & lock in moisture. most lotions have a lot of water in them which make you feel like you are hydrating your face, but once the water is absorbed you are left with your skin feeling dry again. coconut oil also helps draw out dirt & dead skin from your pores and also plumps up your skin leaving your face with less fine lines & wrinkles. i'm telling you, coconut oil will help you keep or get back a youthful glow to your skin. sounding too good to be true??? do some research of your own & you'll find out for yourself!<br />
<br />
you can use coconut oil daily on your skin but right now i am using it as a face wash a few times a week if my face is feeling really dry....i am still experimenting with my routine! i also like to use it as a chap stick before bed!<br />
<br />
// if you want to try out this product make sure you get extra virgin, organic, raw coconut oil preferably in a glass jar! you can pick this up at local health food stores like whole foods. <br />
<br />
JOJOBA OIL >><br />
i honestly think this oil may be my miracle worker. jojoba oil isn't actually an oil, it is technically a wax ester from the jojoba tree. it is also the closest thing to human skin oil. so what i like to do is cleanse my face at night with my face wash or coconut oil and then put a dime size amount of face lotion in my hand with 4 or 5 drops of jojoba oil and spread it all over my face and neck. the jojoba oil will "trick" your skin into thinking it already has enough oil on it so it won't over produce the oil on your face. i think my skin may work extra hard to produce oil on my face to make up for my dryness, but applying lotion with some jojoba oil helps my skin not to freak out on me while still delivering enough moisture to my face. {i honestly probably don't need to use lotion with it, again i'm still experimenting}<br />
<br />
// if you want to try this product make sure you get organic jojoba oil. be sure not to use too much at a time because if you have tons of excess oil on your face it can more easily attract & trap bacteria which won't be helping your skin at all. so just remember, a little goes a long way! if you feel like you may have put too much on then lightly pat your face with a clean towel. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
ah i love these products!!!<br />
do you guys have any products that are a must for you???</div>

we started our easter off with church & a baby blessing for one of mark's friends which was then followed by brunch. then we headed back home & took a much needed nap after waking up early & then stuffing our faces with food. in the afternoon i baked off some fresh bread that MC had made & we headed up to our friend's cabin for dinner! </div>

after a trip to the new & beautiful traverse outlets, maryclaire, madi & i headed up to salt lake to pick up a few things at the city creek mall & visit our friend lauren at work. it was such a nice day out that we sat in the sun next to some fountains & chatted for a few minutes while she was on her break. it really was a treat to see lauren two days in one week! i miss my old roomie.<br />
<br />
to end our little outing we stopped by eva's bakery. it was the cutest little french bakery that i probably would have never noticed on my own. i tried an apple croissant & grabbed an almond one to take back for mark. i love finding new treasures like this in the city! getting to know the area you live in can really make a new place feel more like home.

as i have mentioned a few times, learning to sew is pretty high on my bucket list. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so when my friend ashley offered to teach me some basic about sewing, i jumped at the opportunity!</div>

ashley & her husband are southern california natives and have such a cute apartment with a beachy feel to it. ashley decided that she wanted to cover her brown & green decorative pillows to match a little better. she found a really straight forward tutorial for making pillow covers via pinterest & bought some simple star fish fabric from amazon. what a cheap & easy option for covering pillows!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
i am currently going through one of those rare times that i am actually interested in reading!! go me! but i am almost done with the novel i have been tackling for the past 3 years. okay, come on...i don't read <i>THAT</i> slow! i have read other books during that time but this particular book was rather hard to get through. obviously. but i was determined to finally finish it & move on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so for all your book worms out there, do you have any good novels that you just loved??? i'm not into sci fi or fantasy, sorry i only got through the first harry potter. i love girly books, mysteries, historical ones or basically anything with a good story that will catch my attention early on! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
help me out!! i would love to be introduced to new authors or books that i would probably never find on my own.</div>
