A storm in the city means a lot of downed branches and trees. So sad. But there is a silver lining, I like to bring a bit of downed branch home to use as a modern centerpiece. The leaves do well with a bit of a cleaning from a damp cloth. And make sure you…

Now that we’ve decided to go for navy bridesmaid dresses instead of yellow, that part is a lot easier. How to tie it all together for a unified look? Time to play paper-doll. Dress – One option from J.Crew.Dress – Another, this may be too “beachy.”Dress – This is my favorite, but it isn’t very…

A cozy cabin built for two in the woods of Colorado…how romantic for a honeymoon spot! These 1920’s log cabins near Crested Butte come equipped with wood stoves, hammocks and campfire pits. And at just around $100 a night, they won’t break your joint bank account.

Here a scan of the hair style I mentioned from that Aussie Magazine. Lovely, romantic and just right for me. I can definitely work my natural curls with a low bun. And it will be nice that I won’t have to worry about straightened hair going curly halfway through the night.

That catchy little song from the last scene of Juno is our newest ukulele and bass mega-hit! Rob and I learned it on Sunday…super easy and fun for making up new lyrics as you go. It’s Anything Else by the Moldy Peaches.

Have you checked out the EmilyStyle Tag Sale yet? I’ve already sold one of the dresses, so my first foray into eBay selling isn’t a total wash. There are still some great items for sale. One piece that I love is the pink ballerina sweater. It would be so easy to put together a stylish…

My sister is about to finish the Boston Marathon. She signed me up for an email tracker, so I’ve been watching her times all morning. Running an average 8 minute mile for 26 miles? She’s nuts! She’ll be finishing in the next hour with a time around 3 hours and 30 minutes. I hope she…
