I know that technically I can afford some of these lovely handbags…but I could never actually bring myself to fork over the money. But, what if: 1. Kooba Katy Bag – $645. 2. Riverstones Bag – $248. 3. Vanessa Bruno Tote – $628. 4. Bottega Veneta Hobo – $1,304 – Urban Outfitters made a knock…

This has been a pretty long week. I’ve had headaches, which I never get and if I do usually means that I’m coming down with a cold. Here’s what I learned this week: It makes me happy to see my back neighbor’s garden in bloom for spring. We have started mailing out save-the-dates. It is…

There are all sorts of places you can have custom maps made for your wedding locations. Or you can save $200 and draw your own! Our facility requires us to have our guests park offsite and then shuttle in. So it is a bit confusing. I drew this map a couple nights ago to help…

We were looking through my parents wedding and honeymoon photos last weekend. They got married here in the city and spend their honeymoon in Poland at a film festival. One thing that I hadn’t notice before was all the cute new clothes my mother had for the trip. This was the mid 70’s. She left…
