3potato4

we had a busy weekend. we move in 1 week! between furniture shopping, signing our lease, and other last minute errands... we are finally ready to move in. well, almost.


after we signed our lease in northern liberties we had brunch in our new neighborhood and then off to 3potato4's barn sale.

it was a great day!

dugan's 8th birthday party and skinny dip video!

my sweetest baby turned 8 today! it seemes like yesterday when we picked him up from his colorado breeder and took him home. he has been such a joy in my life and he taught me the beauty of a dog's unconditional love. i don't mean to get sappy, but i love him so much.

the day started with birthday treats and ended at tyler state park for a long swim!

he was too tired on the car ride home to stick his head out the window... Zzzzz!

i love this video... he's so happy to be swimming! happy 8th birthday, dugan! <3

home warming

my friend, susan, just moved into a new home. i visited tonight and as always... fell in love with her space. take a peek and tell me what you think.

summer nuptials

this past weekend was spent celebrating the love of two friends who have known each other since middle school. their wedding was the perfect summer affair. so much will be remembered, but here are some of my favorites...

leather patches and chiffon

i'm gaga over this louis de gama dress. remember this post from last summer? i'm wearing it tonight to a rehearsal dinner for a couple that met in middle school.

just wanted to share:)

flea markets and brunch

we spent the morning rummaging tables at the golden nugget flea market.





then headed to lovin' oven in frenchtown, nj for brunch. we shared the curry corn chowder, breakfast burrito, and challah french toast with strawberry compote and honey vanilla cream cheese drizzles.





and ate all of it:)

sunday brunch

it's been a beautiful day. we celebrated my family's fifty years in america since stepping off the rocky boat from italy. i hope you had a wonderful sunday too.

gaga for neon

just got my "we love colors" package today and i am crazy for these neon and even white socks. the neon i will be pairing with neutral clothes and even pastel pinks. a peep toe wedge will show them off just right. the white pair i can't wait to wear with dresses and black wedges. eek!
