(Or not so punk, since there are keyboards in this shot. We didn’t have them for very long, though.) Our wedding photographer Jeremy is also known for his music photography. He emailed me this gem from the archive the other day – it made me feel old! This was a decade ago! A decade! We played [...]

Asheville edition of ‘the ones you know’, part 2! I’m not super happy that this city stole 2 of my favorite ladies on earth, but I’m glad they’re thriving there. Anna is one of the most grounded, wonderful, magical people I know. When I first met her years and years ago, I actually had to [...]

Happy first day of Spring! It’s been a crazy weekend here, weather-wise. Friday night actually covered our yard with hail-snow, and last night the wind shook the house and did something to the heater (the wind drafts through it) so our back room smells like heating gas. Not good! We’ve mostly been hibernating, still. This [...]

I was planning on a double power “the ones you know” Asheville based post about 2 of my favorite ladies on this planet, Anna & Karie, but there’s just too much goodness for a single post! So I’ll start with Karie – I met Karie in SF & within minutes of meeting I was curled [...]

Shattery and fragile feeling from the state of the world, I imagine most people are feeling the same.  Today we’re walking around the house refreshing our earthquake kit and making lists of survival things we still need to get. I have rarely had a good earthquake kit ready to go in the 15 years I’ve [...]

Back from NYC – a work trip, but I tacked on 2 extra days. I also got mindblowingly sick – either a stomach flu or food poisoning (I’m betting on flu) & was stuck in the hotel for an entire day. I had an amazing (albeit exhausted) time after that – walking around the West [...]

Yesterday on Cute and Delicious – a day in the married life photo post. Today on A Practical Wedding – a letter to my wedding & on 100 Layer Cake (!!!!!!!) with some pretty, never before seen wedding shots. P.S. Hello Bay Area spring!!

So, I haven’t yet found my striped blazer, but I’ve been having fairly stellar thrift luck. I’d knock on wood but I’m ok with my recent luck being the bulk of it, please refer to the whole LESS STUFF thing. I basically fail at paring back when it comes to clothes – especially since so [...]

For the longest time I’ve waxed poetic over hotel rooms, and bemoaned the fact that many hotel rooms are doing it wrong. “I want to own a hotel!” I thought; I’d make it all white walls and flowing curtains, crisp white sheets and huge pillows, a pit stop of nothingness to clear your head and [...]

I was all set to post our mini vacation photos tonight without any text when this afternoon I clicked a link to a blog I don’t really read. It was just a casual look at a room, but so filled with expensive things and so seemingly blasé about it that I realized that my being [...]

Yeah, so the thirty five post got me thinking. Here we are, on this internet, and yeah, it can be homogenous. But we like tea parties. We like rosy glows. We like old things with history, we like new shiny golden things. Our hearts resonate & vibrate to these things, we are not always just ‘being [...]

Vivian got me hooked on Into The Gloss, though I usually avoid the “view into people’s closets” genre because it’ll just make me jealous, makeup seems really accessible. And I like my face most of the time, even when I can’t fit into my clothes. (I’m also a total sucker when people post what’s in [...]
