love the fool

"I must learn to love the fool in me--the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool." -- Theodore I. Rubin, MD

this crazy thing called life...


It's already May of 2011 and I've been engaged for over 6 months, am 4 months away from marrying the love of my life, am busier than I've ever been at work, and am half way through my yoga teacher training.  whew.  What started as an enjoyable workout has turned into this wild life adventure that I could have never expected.  Physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually I am awakening to my true self. I know I sound totally cheesy but it is as if the clouds are slowly clearing.  My desires, my 'passion', my dreams are surfacing and becoming tangible. love it. live it.

YUM!

After maxing out on eating out, I've been on a home cooking kick for a few weeks but this Mother Dough in L.A is calling my name!
Bringing me back to my brief stint as an Italian girl...imported Italian buffalo mozzarella and neopolitan pizza pies. Mother Dough 4648 Hollywood Blvd.

DIY Inspiration

My DIY skills are a little dusty but I am getting so excited by all of the projects for wedding decor. Here are a few that I have my heart set on:

These string chandeliers are fabulously simple and dreamy!

I am imagining these match jars looking adorable next to the sparklers for the end of the night!

Framed chalkboards are such an easy way to direct guests and add a playfulness to the decor.

So many amazing projects to work on in the next 6 months! Good thing I have the best girlfriends in the world to craft my heart out with!

E-Session

Jerome and I took our engagement photos last weekend. Our friend Fawn from Sequins and Candy did a beautiful job and created a fun relaxed environment for us to be playful and real. The photos really show our personalities and I LOVE THEM. Here are a few samples from the shoot...

Mommy Dearest

Happy Wednesday!

My mom is visiting for the next two weeks and we have a whirlwind of wedding to do's! Dress shopping is of course the most important and I can't wait to see my moms face when I try on that first white gown.  oh so exciting! Here are some dresses I have been looking at...who knew I would yearn for the frills of vintage lace :)



I'm giddy with anticipation!

Oh Hello Again

It has been way (xinfinity) too long since I have posted. So here I am back in action with the intention of creating a daily posting practice.

Right now I am a wedding planning machine, or at least I am trying to be. Party planning isn't a trait I come upon with ease. It is nerve-racking and anxiety-ridden...read: poor Jerome. But, with that said, I am doing my best to take my time, look at all of the options (and there are many) and really create an event that represents the proverbial US. Every blog I read refers to choosing your "couple style" and developing your "color palette". While I won't be going so far as to say that I have nailed our style or will even choose a color palette, I am starting to see our wedding as a whole. Picturing the venue chock full of dining, drinking, dancing and laughter. Simple, eclectic and RAD. Maybe that is our couple style.

Coming soon...Inspiration boards.
