What a wonderful summer it has been and there is still a month left :)

beautiful bridesmaids (part 1)

Generally speaking i think bridesmaid dresses are ugly -
so i am determined to find something that all of my wonderful bridesmaids will like.
I'm realistic enough to know that none of them will ever wear the dress again,
but i want them to at least feel beautiful on that day.
At the moment i am loving different styles (and colors!) of Vineyard dresses.
What do you think??

Wedding Shoes.

I adore ballet flats + when i saw these shoes at J.Crew (on super-sale!) I knew they were perfect for the big day!

Wedding Planning part 1 - Reception Hall

We set a date!
We will be married October 16th, 2010.
At first I wasn't thrilled about waiting that long, but we had our hearts set on having our reception at the Columbus Museum of Art and its under renovation until next September -
The cool part is we will be the first wedding in the new museum!

Etsy Wedding Blog.

The Etsy Wedding blog is full of wonderful wedding ideas

Coco before Chanel.

I can't even tell you how excited i am to see this movie!

We're getting married.

It's been 10 days since he proposed and it still doesn't seem real -

I get to marry the man of my dreams + my best friend.
I am one very lucky girl.

p.s. Happy Belated 4th of July

Wex Drive-In is back!

The Wexner Center's June feature is the horror classic The Wolf Man
and the action gets going especially early as GenWex presents a warm-up party (starting at 6:30 PM) where you can listen to the vintage R & B, soul, and new wave DJ trueskillz spins to get the evening started.

As always, you'll be able to sip beverages from the cash bar and nibble on free snacks of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams and Pam's Market Popcorn. Adding to variety is the RadDogs Hotdogs cart, where vegan wares will be available for purchase.

convenient handle that makes it much easier that toting around tupperware.

my beautiful motherThe peanut guy is back :)


The North Market was buzzing this weekend, and while there were still only a few stands outside, it felt like spring had finally arrived! We bought hummus + greek salad from Firdous, Flowers from Market Blooms + of course ice cream for Jonah from Jeni's.
I'm already looking forward to going again next weekend :)

Tiny Modernist

How adorable are these patterns to sew cross stitch iconic chairs. Since I cant afford the actual chairs, these little guys will have to do for a while.

The only problem is I've never stitched anything in my life ...
I may need to call in Danielle for back-up support!
