If you're a long time reader, you'll know that I am a monogram-aholic. If you are new you'll soon discover I always wear a monogram at least somewhere in my outfit. My outlook on monograms is, if it isn't monogramed is it really yours? Since getting married I have been slowly transitioning all of my pieces to my new monogram. However, I had this dilemma when I started ordering ...
Happy Wednesday! I am starting a new series where every Wednesday I will be sharing wedding planning tips and advice.

My first blog post was published on January 20th, 2015 and since then I have grown so much as a blogger and as a person. I've been thinking about my time as a blogger and what my upcoming goals are for The Thrifty Pineapple, so I thought I would share my experience as a blogger...so far.

I shower every night before bed to rinse off all ...
A few weeks ago I was getting a blowout at Dry Bar and the stylist was also engaged, so we bonded immediately. I was telling her about my bridal portraits and she had no idea what I was talking about. I assumed this was something everyone did and knew about. So, what are bridal portraits? Bridal portraits are a southern tradition where brides get all done up, hair, make up, ...
I went on a work trip to Denver, CO earlier this month and while my co-workers forgot to tell me they were all leaving on Friday morning I was stuck there until Saturday afternoon. At first, I was pretty bummed because I just wanted to go home and be with my hubby, but there was nothing I could do so I decided to make the most of it. My first stop on my free day was Patterns ...
One thing I never invest a lot of money in is white jeans! I have bought so many pairs of white jeans in the past, because of stains. For me, it's just easier to go buy a brand new pair of $30 white jeans from Old Navy than stress about stain removal or having to be extra careful when wearing them. I would be kicking myself if I bought an expensive pair of white jeans and ...
