There is something so timeless and classic about men in tails and white bow ties, next to women in gowns, that feels so old world. I was lucky enough to be able to attend a wedding recently that brought all of those details into 2015. Being an event planner, I’m constantly fascinated with how others design and setup… Read More Vignettes of a white tie wedding.
I am a habitual over packer. I’m usually always that girl who has two of everything, “just incase” I may need it. I’m the coworker who has an extra pen and two bottles of water. Also am sometimes a habitual over-sharer- I just want everyone to always have all the details! I’m an information hoarder,… Read More Preparing for pool parties and Russian nightclubs: what to pack when you overpack.

I’ve never been a big soup eater (see previous post about only eating soup with buttered grilled cheese). I appreciate some substance to my meals; hearty, crunchy bites of food that can’t be sipped through a straw. If my body could stand it I would probably be happiest eating extra crunchy chips – any flavor… Read More I have the permanent crunchies
Sometimes I like football, sometimes I couldn’t possibly care less. The later is how I feel about tomorrow’s Super Bowl. BUT, what I do appreciate about this particular American Sunday holiday is the amount of dips I get to consume. I wish I could eat all the dips forever. If you’re wondering what you’re going… Read More Slacker Dip: for the dip-loving slacker in all of us.
How we spend our days, is of course, how we spend our lives. There’s something about that quote that makes me think I’m not sure where my January days have went.

What I’m liking right now, besides looking to the weekend: This quote. And that Mississippi cotton candy sunset over the pines. 2. This entire outfit. And the jewelry. And the beach. Found on gypsylovinlight.com. 3. A possible DIY: painting this on a canvas myself. Image via: http://www.flagsoforigin.com/ 4. Actually taking the dog on a walk this weekend that… Read More 5 things because it’s Friday
I’ve never been a whiskey sipping type of girl. I wish I was. Mix it with anything for me, please. I never truly put much thought into or appreciated the craft and process that whiskey goes through before it gets to the bar.
