sushi pillows

These sushi pillows look almost too good to eat! I think if I had all the money in the world, I would eat sushi every day. But because I'm not, I usually eat this for dinner (still a favorite of mine though) :)

last wedding post (i promise)

I must have weddings on the brain because I saw this little film by Joel Serrato and thought it was just the sweetest video ever. I think it's enough to melt the heart of any wedding skeptic...

Have a lovely weekend!

picture perfect wedding

Some lovely photos from Runi & Thomas' rehersal dinner/wedding weekend...it was almost a blur. The wedding was held at the most perfect place ever and Runi was just stunning (Thomas, you weren't too shabby yourself). We had a wonderful time and I am so happy I got to be a part of their day.

P.S. How cute was my dad's grin while he danced with my mom? Too funny :)

girls' night

A few photos from Runi's bachelorette party last week...boy, did we have ourselves a girly time! And oh how I loved my hot pink nails...a new favorite, I think.

donut cupcakes

Why hello, perfection...I did not think it was possible to combine my 2 most favorite desserts ever into 1 but I was wrong! Did I mention the cupcake is coffee flavored too? Let the mouth-watering begin!

P.S. Find the recipe here.

sunday brunch

There's nothing like Sunday brunch at Lambert's (with our friends Sarah & EJ) to recover from an insanely busy/exhausting/amazing weekend...their mac 'n cheese is to die for. Seriously, the best ever.

Will post more from this weekend once I find the strength to sort through all of the photos on my camera, have a great Monday!

wedding weekend

I'm so excited for this weekend, because my very good friend Runi is getting married! I have known her for almost 10 years so we have been through a lot together (especially when it comes to boys). I'm very honored to be a part of her gorgeous wedding...Runi, you will be breathtaking tomorrow, love you lots!

Have a wonderful weekend and check back next week for photos!

DIY bridesmaids cards

I think I pretty much squealed when I saw these adorable DIY bridesmaids cards on Once Wed. Look at those little hair-dos! Anna Bond (of Rifle Design) is a genius, that's for sure. See the rest of the photos and detailed instructions here.

pocket full of food

I must say...even though these may look a little corny, I think they are so cute! Who wouldn't be surprised (and delighted) after seeing you pull out a slice of pizza or a chocolate chip cookie from your back pocket? :)

P.S. Oh and check out these adorable salt and pepper shakers...I dare you not to smile.

yummy weekend

Here are some photos from this past weekend when my sister, Megan, was in town. I have to say, whenever we are together we always have the most random cravings...and in the case of last Saturday, it was ice cream for breakfast and dim sum for dessert (with our friend Stephen). We are so very weird sometimes. Do you ever get unusual food cravings?

P.S. Isn't Winston the bulldog so adorable? Love him...we spotted him at the festival!

P.P.S Shout-out to my fellow blogger friend Kathy who introduced me to this "fast food dim sum" restaurant...yay for egg tarts :)

girls on bicycles

Happy Monday! How is it that European girls can look so fashionable while riding around town on a bicycle?! I'm lucky if I look that put together while getting into my car each morning...

weekend happiness

Yay, it's finally Friday! I cannot even explain to you how long of a week this was, I'm just happy it's over. I don't do well with work stress that's for sure. I am excited to hang out with my sister though, who is in town for a few days! We plan on eating large amounts of delicious food (our usual) and seeing this movie (I seriously cannot wait!). Hope your weekend is just lovely :)

hi hotel

The Hi Hotel in Nice, France, mixes modern design with super colorful palettes, making each room uniquely different. Wouldn't you just love to stay in the "green" room? It looks so relaxing...see more photos of the hotel here.

kate colors

Wow, I am just blown away by Kate Spade's new fall collection - such lovely patterns and just look at the pops of color! I cannot WAIT for fall...dear closet, you better get ready to make some room.

vintage tape

No words can explain how much I love this vintage "old book" masking tape...sure it's random, but isn't it so pretty? I can already think of a 101 uses for it...

summer of love bag

I just love silkscreened canvas bags, especially this eco-friendly one. You can use them for anything - day trips to the beach, grocery shopping, library book holding (currently I'm lugging around this one as my work laptop bag...yeah, probably not a smart idea if I drop it). Here's to what's left of summer!
