For a Minute

Hi ya'll. I was gone there for a minute. Better to stay chipper on these blogs but some dreadful things came up. I am back and hope to give you some new stellar content!

Happy Wednesday!

Gosh golly, I have been so overwhelmed with finals. So glad they are almost over. This is my classmate and friend Blue (yes, he's like 11...no actually I think 19, he makes the absolutely best short horror films...check them here) right before our school's film festival. I was on the events committee, typical.

A Fine Frenzy and Ban.do

The Black Label was released by Ban.do, I know this is not new information on the wedding blog circuit. But, what is so cool to me (and I can't find mentioned anywhere!) is that the painfully gorgeous Alison Sodul of A Fine Frenzy is the model. This girl single-handedly assisted me in getting over a break-up in 2008. Her voice is haunting and addictive. 

Flowers in May

I ordered an amazing print from Flowers in May today, I cannot wait to get it. These invitations from the same designer are incredible. 

Found on Black Eiffel

It's a Beautiful Life.

Sorry I've been gone, I can explain...later. 

But a few things have been on my mind...

These laterns from India Rose are amazing! 

I love She and Him's new album: listen here (p.s. thanks NPR)

Can I justify wearing this dress to 2 weddings? Totally different crowds at each wedding so no one will know. But…FB pics....

I am obsessed with this nail color. I walked all the way to Saks to get it. I was nervous about going as I was not dressed very nicely (Sloppy jeans, cardigan and flip flops, day old hair...yuck). But I was beyond floored at how genuinely nice everyone was (and I am usually pretty good at spotting a fake).  

My brother is dating a genius and she got into medical school. Go Maggie!

A dear friend is back in the Bay Area from living far, far away. He is an amazing wedding cinematographer and getting married soon. I can't wait to introduce him to you! 

I am reading The Romantics by Galt Niederhoffer. It's generally about a wedding but the book is more emo, less light and fluffy i.love.it. I am excited to see the film version (the cast looks fantastic). It's kinda unique and cool that the author of the book is also the Director of the movie.

Confession: I used to, at all costs, avoid telling people that I am from Marin County. It's silly but usually when I tell people they would be  "ooooooooh...." with eye brows raised and then they'd stop talking to me. I am a fan of this FB page and that kinda sums it up. But lately I have re-fallen in love with my homeland just North of the GG Bridge (although still incredibly loyal to my true love, San Francisco). I would like to write a City Guide for Design Sponge (perhaps a certain someone would like to collabo with me on this? ;) ), my hands down favorite restaurants are all there and their are tons of great and unique shopping spots.
