frenchie friday: stuck on you

so i posted a pic of looloo covered in stickers yesterday on FB and it got more 'likes' than the announcement of the birth of my children, so i figured i'd share on the blog.

i didn't share this pic, however.  these are the pee stains i found on my beloved chaise lounge.  i think it's loo's quiet rebellion against being consistently 'decorated' by c & p.  womp womp.

but how can i stay mad at this bitch?  

hey looloo, i'm stuck on you, sister!

hungry hungry hippo

i want this.

put it on the birthday list.

wedding wednesday: what's black & white & fab all over?

met with the loverly miss L this morning at her TDF wedding locale.

became very inspired and excited and can't wait to see this event come to fruition.

here is a teeny tiny sneak peek at our inspiration. . . .

so by now you should know the answer to my riddle:  

what's black & white & fab all over?

L & J's wedding!

birthday for "the bob"

i have a friend, fairly new, but i know her well enough to know she is a very good egg that deserves a fabulous birthday.  

yesterday, i noticed she "liked" this quote on FB.  and knowing her, i know in my heart of hearts, she believes in this sentiment.

love.

BTW, eminem is the man.  8 mile is seriously one of my fave flicks.  Mekhi Phifer?! HOLLA.

he is totes invited to the bob and my gemini birthday bash.

also adding him to my 'wouldn't kick 'im outta bed for eating a cracker' board.
{you're welcome}

and, oh yes, that is correct, you heard it here first.  my birthday is fast approaching. . . 

and i might just put in a gift idea every day leading up until the 17th. . . randomly choosing from my 'yes, please' pinterest board.

actually, let's start with this fun monogram necklace from bauble bar since it needed to be ordered 3 weeks ago to arrive in time for the big day.  doh!

don't panic, i'll be accepting gifts until august 1st.

i digress, happiest of birthdays to the bob.  geminis rule!

frenchie friday: party hat

it's time to put our party hats on . . .

even tho the weather doesn't look like it's going to cooperate tomorrow, we will still wear our {figurative} party hats and celebrate the ash!

i hope the hat matches my sassy pants.

holla!

cannot wait.

have a glorious weekend!

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}
