My feet are tired, my closet is full and my credit card is tapped. Still - I love Black Friday :) A full day off from work and the official start of the holiday season. Oh, and sales up the waz...
Im headed home to Long Island where I plan to stuff myself silly with Thanksgiving treats. And I cant help but remember how, when I was little, I would fling myself into the fall leaves that we...
My idea of a night cap? Milk and cookies. Perhaps I was Santa in my former life? Here are some cookie buffet ideas - a sweet complement to the end of any evening (whether you ride in a sleigh o...

I typically just associate pine cones with holiday decorations. So if youre like me, youll realize how naive you really were. Pine cones are multi-functional, multi-faceted and thus, my love fo...
Im not going to lie - I had a bit of bloggers block. Maybe it was the rainy weather. I dont know. But I cured it by going for a run and then having some chocolate. Which made me think of cupcakes. Wh...
Anyone else remember playing cats cradle? Anyone? I used to play it all the time. I tried to do it again recently and apparently you need the dexterous hands of a 7 year old to play that game. &...
When I receive a card in the mail - with my name carefully printed on the envelope and the stamp often lopsided - I get really really excited. I feel like I did when I was six years old and couldnt w...
Growing up, I was a girly girl - I loved dresses and tutus and dolls. And pink. I really really loved pink. People sometimes have a hard time believing - what, with the fact that I ...
There are a lot of things that inspire me - a simple act of kindness; a song that makes my toes tingle; a great sentence in a book. Oh, and Aleah + Nick Valley of Valley & Co.&nb...
Combine the font from Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas with the artistry of Jackson Pollack along with a dash of the TV show True Blood and you get... THESE! Wild Ink Splatter wedding invitations fro...
Im a pretty relaxed bride. Probably too relaxed. Thankfully, I have a maid of honor who is efficient, organized and a decisive delegator. And I have a crew of bridesmaids who want to make sure it all...
I never really thought about the reply cards that came with the invitation. And its possible I never thought of them - actually, its highly likely that I never thought of them - because theyre all re...
One of my favorite movies EVER is When Harry Met Sally. And one of my favorite moments is when Harry and Sally carry the Christmas tree across the snow covered streets. Its just so... New York. It ma...
Dont forget to embrace your inner child this weekend. And if that means trick-or-treating (even if you are over the age of 15), so be it :){image and inspiration via The Lil Bird}
A menu that multi-tasks?! Print food selections onto stylized paper to save trees and wow guests:{image and inspiration via My 10K Wedding}
Handy eye coordination? Not-so-much. My bat would swing around but never land on the mark (whether it be a horse hanging from a ceiling or a baseball heading towards my body). But maybe some of ...
Sometimes I run across something just so cool, I get goosebumps. Like, the hair literally stands up my arms and waves in excitement. This planting wheel-style invite by BurnhouseSF on Etsy is one of ...
You know I love props (and if you didnt, now you do). And this Los Angeles engagement session has it all (and then some) - a gorgeous setting, a placid picnic and a vintage record player. Oh, and of ...
My fiance and I are different. I mean, were both super fun and cute :) but were definitely far from the same person. He is a math whiz who loves watching Morning Joe and reading the Economist. I stil...
I know Ive said this before - but I have to say it again. Im part of the most amazing blogger/twitter community on all of the web. From daily inspiration to ongoing encouragement, these gaggle of gir...

Someone once told me that when I turned 28, my weekends would be filled with weddings. When I was 25, this seemed foreign to me. Weekends were filled with FINDING guys, not watching my friends marry ...
On the first day of first grade, a teacher asked us to all go around and say our favorite color. Every girl said pink. Every boy said blue. Except for me and one other little one. We said green. Need...
Remember how you used to doodle your name next to the name of the guy you liked? I have notebooks filled with this stuff. But now that its legit - and you are actually marrying the man of your dreams...
Ive only been to Napa Valley once, but the beauty of it has never left me (even in my somewhat intoxicated state at the time :) Infuse your vineyard wedding, your wine tasting bridal shower or your d...
I know Ive mentioned my love of books so far (Im currently flying through Room by Emma Donoghue), but have I told you about my obsession with libraries? I seriously cant get enough of them. I make a ...
The fabulous Naomi from Enchanted Dream Weddings & Affairs inspired this post, based on her recent compilation of dazzling ways to dress up a table with everything fall flowers to fallen leaves. ...
Theres something about sharpening a pencil that brings back memories of elementary school. As a note, when I was in elementary school they were on the cusp of electric sharpeners but still had ...
