homemade crackers

November 30, 2011

I started making homemade crackers a few years ago, and let me tell you – if you want something to bring to a potluck that will both impress people and take very little time or effort*? This is your dish. I started with this recipe from Mark Bittman, and it’s pretty delicious as is, but [...]

it’s time

November 27, 2011

If there is one thing I’ve learned by working in the wedding industry, and by attending the vast number of weddings that I attend, it’s that there is nothing political about love. And there is nothing political when two people decide that they want to stand in front of their community and declare their love [...]

thank yous

November 27, 2011

I like to make birthday resolutions every year*, and I generally like to keep them simple. This year my resolution is to send more thank you notes – it’s something I’ve been intermittently good at throughout my life, and it’s time to be consistently good at it. Because the only thing better than getting something [...]

On Birthdays and New York

November 27, 2011

Two weeks ago I took a super quick trip to New York, in celebration of my birthday and for my first non-working-vacation in several years (I actually travel fairly frequently, I just always work at least part time while I’m doing it.) This birthday was feeling kind of angsty* for me, so I decided to [...]

Schone dresses

November 26, 2011

I am digging this dress by Schone. A little expensive for bridesmaids, but I think it could make an awesome less traditional wedding dress for a casual outdoor wedding (it’s also available in many other colors.) Or, alternatively, it might be the perfect piece to buy just so that you can live in it all [...]

seafoam

November 23, 2011

I’d really like someone (apparently a size 4 someone, as it’s a sample) to wear this dress to their wedding: Cassandra gown from Leanimal, $1285 I’m definitely having a non-white wedding dress moment these days, and sea foam green seems like a sort of particularly lovely option, no? Also “The skirt is draped so perfectly [...]

Ruchi & Dave

November 16, 2011

I have a lot of recent weddings to blog (I’m still waiting on pro-photos for most of them) but wanted to put up these images from Ruchi & Dave’s amazing Hindu-Jewish wedding this past Saturday so that you all had something to look at other than my manicure while I was on vacation. Ruchi and [...]

vacation!

November 15, 2011

I’m heading to New York tomorrow night to see friends and celebrate my birthday (four different friends are flying in from different parts of the country for the party on Saturday, and my many New York based friends have been helping pull things together like champions. I am so lucky to have the friends I [...]

Ashes & Fire

November 14, 2011

I first saw Ryan Adams play live in 2002 at the Warfield. To this day, it remains one of the best (if not the best) live shows I’ve ever seen (and I have been to a lot of good shows.) I was 18 and watching Adams, who was in his late 20s at the time, [...]

November!

November 7, 2011

How is it November already? Somethings that have been going on/catching my eye I love Caitlin Wilson Textiles new collection (pictured above), and just need to decide which of the pillows to buy for the sofa in my new office. This OBB post on having an “unplugged” wedding isn’t new, but it’s worth drawing attention [...]
