champers debate

so i'm a busy bee with final touches for the ash's cocktail hour-shower this weekend.

cannot wait to share the deets {as i have some A-team members collaborating with me on this one.}

slight hiccup when j-nice {my mom/ co-hostess} decided to put the kibosh on my veuve rose order.

what. a.  

. . . delightful person she is.  forreals. 

mom, you may have a point that not everyone needs to sip 'the good stuff' but you took it a bit too far with your  'i don't know who you think you are . . .' comment.

i mean- yikes - it's not like i ordered 18 cases of pierre-jouet {which would have totes matched our color scheme} and BTW: the ash is only getting hitched once . . . 

anyhoot, we settled for chandon.  

and lots of it.

p.s. ashy, you and i are obvs drinking pink veuve.  i think we should even share with j-nice.  love both you, sissies.  xo

wedding wednesday: rain rain don't go away. . .?

about 8 years ago when i visited corinna raznikov's studio to talk about her potentially shooting our wedding, she first showed us a "rain wedding"album.

i fell so in love with the pics i was almost hoping it would rain! {we had glorious weather and i am grateful for that} but the point was her showing me how beautiful pics could be made me a lot less anxious about it raining on our wedding day.  i even had the band ready to play eddie rabbit's " i love a rainy night" as our first dance.  ha.

here are those pics she showed me so many years ago.

wedding was shot 6.10.2002 - almost a decade ago. . . 

enjoy these timeless shots from the emma willard school in albany, ny.

love.

{and forever grateful to corinna for our sunny wedding pics.  worship.  obvs}

tibi time

feeling fortunate that i stumbled upon the tibi sample sale this past weekend.

adorbs.

love this color.

i worship this printed dress.  have a vision of wearing this at ash's rehearsal.  the color combo i want is sold out. . . so not sure if she'll ever be mine but time will tell.

the good news is that this beauty shipped this morning.  the plan is to wear it to the ball.  i don't love it quite as much as last year's dress . . .

but it was on ridic sale so i couldn't resist.  

do you love-love or not so much?

frenchie friday: patriotic pooches

happy memorial day weekend!
enjoy, enjoy, enjoy but don't forget to remember.

i totes have baggage {obvs}

exhausted from celeb-stalking for the majority of the day.  {apparently stalking is a full-time job}
they were shooting in sugar on top's backyard so i shamelessly showed up on set at 8 am with george & loo in tow,  as well as C & P.  the crew loved the pups and adam sandler totes gave g & loo the nod.

anyhoot, now having some downtime {i.e. online shopping}

jonathan adler on OKL today.

puntastic. {and true}

calypso also having ridic sale.

need.  

these.

maybe the movie stars will notice me if i wear really high shoes.  

or get another frenchie. . . hmmmm. . . .

what, me? delusional?  obvs.

lulu & bunny

i. die.

over these 4 year old twinkies.  and their names. {OBVS}

 their convo skills remind me of two other lil munkies i know.

also love-ing their digs.

enjoy this charming interview via house beautiful

my cup runneth over. . .

with beer, tequila, and an extra shot of nostalgia.

my sister-in-law walked across the same platform to receive her degree from my alma mater a mere 13 years after i did.  {she didn't get to make a pit stop to smooch johnjohn but we can't all be so lucky}

it was so spesh to be back in c-town, on campus, and in a random off-campus apartment for late-night. {obvs}

the WAC is a legit unique experience tucked away in a gorgeous part of this country and i'm feeling grateful for having attended {and survived} and i'm also very proud of lil J - holla!
