Oh, did I say I wasn’t going to write about the wedding for weeks? Well, ok. I lied. Slogging through the madness that is Google search results for wedding questions, I found eastsidebride pretty early in this crazy process, and was like “Great! I’ll just read this! It’s sane!” You have to understand that I am [...]

I’ve been drawn to spring things, pinks and blues, strange for me! all photos in moodboard mine except nest, ceiling, & screenshot from Bolshoi Ballet ‘67. Click to enlarge! Recent finds: Royal Staffordshire teapot, pink milk glass cake stand, gold and pink dish, green creamer, embossed glass goblet/vase. and 25 of these glasses, for very very little. [...]

So I’ve decided to make my own dress, but have come across so many amazing options online as well. The handful of wedding magazines I’ve flipped through, I’m shocked at how similar all the dresses are. There’s a world of possibilities, ladies! Shake it up! I do have some limitations: I’m definitely not a strapless girl, [...]

We’ve been spending every weekend in the courtyard garden, sprawled out on quilts in the patches of sun that last from early morning to late afternoon. There’s a routine, lazy mornings making coffee, walking in a loop around the neighborhood procuring breakfast, stopping at the used book shop, poking around one of the many nurseries [...]

I worked from home today, and while cleaning up my desk area, noticed a card for the weekly fabric sale at Erica Tanov, which is just down the street. I’d been wanting to go for months and months but am never on home on Thursday. So today at lunch, I ran over! Eeeek! This is was [...]

Oooohhhhhh, niblets, I need guidance. This wedding stuff is over my head. According to some wedding checklist, I am 100% behind and totally fail at being a bride-to-be! Oops! Should I be reading blogs? Should I not? I need a girly girly helper planner to come sit and drink tea and help me pick out fonts [...]

When I first started college, I studied fashion and costume, & for me clothing is costume, a way to set the scene. For our resort trip I packed all classic-preppy looks: cute cardigans, seersucker, navy & white, espadrilles, nautical looks. By Day 4 it started to really wear on me. It was cute, for sure, [...]

I’m so excited that my blog it forward / what inspires you day is my mama’s 60th birthday. She’s been a constant inspiration (even though I am more like my father) & I think she’s the prettiest mama ever! Mod eye makeup! I’d watch her put on makeup when I was little, the pot of eyeliner [...]

I’ve never ever had a fancytown vacation, so when we were given the chance to stay here for 2 nights free last weekend, I was completely excited. It’s cheesy as hell (black swans! glowing fountains!) but the chance for some warm sunny days (and seeing family) was too good to pass up. So at 3am [...]

It’s called a moodboard because you make them when you’re bored!! I needed some zone-out zen time before tackling the weekend chores and this was a nice exercise. It’s also super helpful because I kept asking for suggestions and getting good ones, so at the end we were both 100% on the same page about [...]
