Pretty Shoe Tuesday

Who's ever found a pair of shoes they loved so much, that they bought it in more than one color? (anyone else raising their hand?) The lovely fall jewel tones of these Badley Mischka Randall pumps make it to choose just one pair...

shopping at the Barn

I am in serious nesting mode right now, and can't stop thinking about furniture, decor, color ways, design... I am so ready to make our apt into a cozy home. There are several pieces from Pottery Barn that I'd really like to welcome through the front door :) but most will have to wait... at least for now.

Lately, I've been noticing how great the jewelry at Ann Taylor is. Lots of elegant and classic styles, but still decently affordable.

To make up for lost time, I couldn't feature just one pair of shoes today. So how about six? I've never worn a pair of Kate Spades, but I'm sure they're just as fun to wear as they are to look at.

married!

Greetings from the married side! Time has flown by and we're already back from our honeymoon (which was absolutely great--more on it later).

I'm excited to share the details of the wedding; all the projects and ideas, and pictures and stories. The wedding last Friday was absolutely amazing--the weather was beautiful, the event was pretty perfect, and so many of our guests have noted how great a time they had. I'm so happy that everything came together and we were able to celebrate with friends and family at a beautiful event. We had amazing vendors that each provided the perfect touch, and the best support from family and friends who helped make the day what it was. Every time I think about our wedding, I can't help but smile... and I love that!

Married life is, in a word... great! It's amazing when you get to spend all your time with your best friend. And now we have a house (apt) to make our home; we've got meals to cook, furniture to buy, walls to decorate, and memories to make!

Look out for more wedding posts to come :)

How is it Tuesday already? Time is just flying by! But not too fast to slow down for a moment to admire these Kate Spades in all their sheer striped perfection.

God Bless America

This year, we are braving the crowds to trek into the city and camp out on the Capitol lawn for the great A Capitol Fourth concert and fireworks. It promises to be a festive evening!

Have a happy 4th!!

birthday girl

Today is my birthday. And the first day of July. Which means I get married THIS MONTH! Today, we did a venue walkthrough with our coordinator, photographer, and caterer and I am so excited to visualize it all coming together! July promises to be a wonderful month :)
