Hello and welcome to your Thursday afternoon post. :) Thanks for your patience, mes amours… got lots of uncluttering done this morning in the “studio;” felt motivated so I took the opportunity.  Very glad I did.  Plus, I gotta say, it feels like my brain has so much extra empty space in it all of [...]

So, it’s Monday peeps!  How about that?!  I know it’s not the custom but I’m pretty pumped about this whole Monday thing.  Let’s forget for a moment the fact that tonight involves having to brace the bitter cold that is NYC’s current weather pattern, and let’s also put aside the fact that this weather is [...]

I’ve recently jumped headfirst back into a Fiona Apple kick (past two days) and it’s kind of awesome.  I used to listen to her ALL THE TIME (ohhh boy if cars had recording devices…), and there’s nothing better than taking a little break and returning to an artist over whom you once obsessed.

My sister and her family are in town for the holidays, and that means a lot of fort building and high tea.  Which is awesome, but has a way of making me feel extra guilty about working all day, with them staring at me, longing for a few extra hours of playtime.  They do that; [...]

We launch the new site on Monday.  Wait, I don’t know if you heard me – WE LAUNCH THE NEW SITE ON MONDAY.  And I don’t know if I’m more excited about the launch, or the fact that

Ok, so yesterday I was speaking with an avid wedding blog reader who said something very interesting that really hadn’t occurred to me in any kind of meaningful way.  I wanted to share it with you:

… mmmk so I know that it just turned fall and all, and winter’s a bit of a ways off, but sudden changes in temperature tend to make me think in extremes.  Besides, I just couldn’t bear to hold off on sharing this shimmering, metallic, handmade loveliness with you ASAP.

Like I said recently on zee Twittaire, the brand new site is freaking close as heck.  The launch truly is fast approaching, and my excitement organ is going to burst soon (my excitement organ is next to my appendix, so a life-threatening, ricochet double explosion is possible).

So!  Tomorrow I’ll be bringing you

Isn’t it amazing, how one look at something, or one whiff, can transport you back to a previous time or event in your life?  There was a time, waaaay waaaay back when I was a wee babe, and I got into an accident.

Hmm.  My titles are getting too long. Ok, so, as many of you know, I recently purchased a hella expensive, hella worth it MacBook Pro.  Yup, all 17″ of it – worth it.  Except for one thing.

I came down to get some coffee, but before I could open the door, my three-year-old nephew swung it out in my direction.  He looked me dead in the eye, held out a closed fist, and then opened it to release a single doggy bone puzzle piece… which fell at my feet.  No words were [...]

I’m really excited today because I get to share with you guys what I think is a seriously fab idea for your wedding centerpieces. But I’d also like to tell a story today about computer love and how opposites attract, so let’s begin with story time, and then jump right back into today’s feature.  Ok, [...]

Happy Monday!  Hope everyone had a marvelous weekend!  The boy and I spent some time at Renegade Craft Fair on Sunday and aside from the gale-force winds and intermittent murderous rain droplets, it was a pretty fun experience.  More on that a bit later in the week.  And by the way, no I didn’t drag [...]

Many of us want our weddings to have some kind of fairytale-ness to them.  Some want a lot, others want a little, but I think it’s safe to say that we want to set the scene properly for a dreamy escape into our new lives of loving one another forever.  And in my opinion, that [...]

↑ Dripping Dew Necklace ↑ Gold Dust Chemise But first, a story… Over the weekend, the boy and I went into town and had some breakfast, because eating’s important.  As we were walking back, we saw on our right this adorable little dessert table set up on the sidewalk.  It was a tiny little bake [...]

People.  I just about died when I saw this e-session by Kim Le that Abby recently posted over on Style Me Pretty.  It’s major.  It’s what e-sessions are meant to look like.  For serious. One of my simple pleasures in life is the way a group of photos can completely make my day.  I never [...]

While perusing Martha Stewart Weddings today (I know, what else is new), I stumbled upon some seriously stunning flower power and kinda became obsessed.  You kn0w how it is.  So, after gathering up my absolute favorites, I thought I’d bring them back here for you guys to see. Flowers: pink cabbage roses (gathered from Martha’s [...]

When I saw this on Hostess with the Mostess, I started trembling. It is kind of the most awesome thing I’ve seen, and I’ve seen tons of things.  Not to mention – and I’m a little unsure of whether or not I should admit this, but – I’ve never even seen the show Gossip Girl. Oh, [...]
