Monday morning Dale and I picked up our rental car and headed to Malibu. Our first stop was the pier where we had a long breakfast at Malibu Farm!
Hello, California!
We kicked off our week in California staying with our friends Matt & Caitlin in Westlake Village! Nothing better than dinner at Nonna with an espresso martini!
Laura and Ashton: The Wedding
Thereβs nothing like watching two of your favorite people tie the knot! Laura and Ashton became Mr. & Mrs. on September 11, 2021 with a VERY fun reception at The Guild (and a stop at Double Shift on the way!).
Laura and Ashton: The Rehearsal
We kicked off Laura and Ashtonβs wedding weekend weekend with the rehearsal dinner at Mean Mule Distilling Coβs Agave Lounge!
August Around The Web
August was a bit more relaxed as Summer starts to wind down. At the beginning of the month I settled back into my work from home routine after coming home from Utah, we spent time with our nephews and celebrated Mikeβs birthday, Dale and I worked on planning our Europe trip with Sophie and Alex, we spent as much time as possible at the pool, I went to an outdoor Fusion pop-up class, the Smith family visited the Auschwitz exhibit at Union Station, Holiday Mart planning got busier as the show approached, Dale and I attended a coupleβs shower for Laura and Ashton, and we spent a weekend hanging out with our high school friends Syd and Sal!
Around the web this month this propagation wall tutorial caught my eye because our fiddle is nearing the ceiling! Not sure if I will be brave enough to propagate, but saving just in case!
Another fun DIY I discovered was this checkered bowl!
Always on the lookout for pasta recipes!
I keep coming back to this belt bagβ¦
Someday I would love to stay at the Ludlow in NYC!
Matte balloons seem to be trending at the moment.
The most exciting news of the month is that I signed up for Nuuly! I canβt wait for my first box to arrive in early September!
Soak up the end of summer!
Sophie and Alex: Family Portraits
The grand finale: here are my favorite family portraits from June 26, 2021. We are so grateful Alex is officially a member of the family and that so many family members were able to be there for the wedding! Now Iβm on the hunt for some new framesβ¦
