July Around The Web

July has gone by so FAST. This month my Junior League Dinner Club resumed after a long hiatus, we celebrated the Fourth of July with Dale’s family in town from Chicago, I got to see some work friends at happy hour, Dale and I headed to LA and Vegas for bachelor/bachelorette parties, I got to see Grace preform in Mamma Mia, we went to the zoo with my nephews, made it to the pool a few times, Alyson and I hosted a bridal shower for Laura and we ended the month in Park City for her bachelorette. WOW. I’m also still working from home (for the foreseeable future) and found Brittany’s office makeover especially inspiring!

Hello, august!

June Around The Web

June has truly been a whirlwind. We kicked off the month in Florida to finally celebrate Adam & Alex’s marriage, Dale graduated from his residency, we got together with my college friends, saw both our dads on Father’s Day weekend, and most importantly we got Sophie & Alex married! (Their wedding date of June 26th was also Grace’s 17th birthday!) It has been more meaningful than ever to be able to gather and celebrate and I can’t wait to see all the wedding photos from her photographer!

  • Around the web was a bit light this month with all the festivities. BUT these lemon taper holders perfectly fit with Sophie’s wedding theme and caught my eye.

  • I don’t know that we will have time to get to Joshua Tree when we head to CA in September but it’s on the list for someday!

  • Obsessed with dresses lately and love this one

  • An interesting read about the future of the American house

  • Love this cute DIY and I think my nephews would, too!

  • The “it” houseplants for 2021. You can never have too many!

  • I’m already dreaming and scheming for a big Europe trip in summer 2022. On the list: England, Greece & Croatia!

Happily Ever After It Is

May Around The Web

May is coming to a close and it’s really starting to feel like Summer! This month we celebrated the wedding of our friends Austin and Ali, had time with family for Mother’s Day, I hosted a bridal shower for Sophie with my sister Grace, Dale’s brother was finally able to visit from Chicago, and I ended the month in Scottsdale for Sophie’s bachelorette weekend! It has been SO nice to see friends and family and finally celebrate after everything that 2020 brought. Around the web I’ve especially been loving everything interiors:

Bring on the Sunshine!

April Around The Web

Spring is in full bloom around here as we head into May! April has been a busy month: I got to attend my sister Grace’s Spring Show for Drill Team, we celebrated Easter with both Dale and I’s families, we spent a week in Santa Fe, I’m fully vaccinated (maybe the most exciting!!). Wedding prep is in full swing as well with Sophie’s shower invitations mailed and her wedding invitations should arrive from the printer soon. My friend Megan and I hosted a baby shower for our friend Mary, and we spent some time at Turkey Hill with our friends Brandon and Sonya! Life is starting to feel a bit more normal and I’m really looking forward to celebrating lots of things later this Spring.

  • Obsessed with this bedroom reveal!

  • Elsie also shared her girls’ adorable shared bedroom! I love the custom toy chests!

  • I didn’t do a full recap of our last day in Santa Fe but we visited both Meow Wolf and The Museum of International Folk Art! Both were amazing, must-sees in Santa Fe. We also had a great last dinner at Maria’s!

  • We also visited the Georgia O’Keeffe museum right after I read this article. Divine timing!

  • I’ve done a bit of Spring cleaning but know I will do more. This is a great article to reference.

  • Such cute pearl sneakers!

  • Always all about the blooms.

  • Cyla is one of my recent favorite lettering artists to follow on Instagram!

  • Dreaming of these built in beds for our lake house someday…

  • I’ve really loved my recent Ilia Beauty order. If you are a clean beauty fan check them out!

And I can’t end the month without acknowledging that this month wasn’t without its share of hardships. I firmly stand with the Asian American community and am glad to see accountability for the murder of George Floyd. There is still work to be done.

Stop Asian Hate. Black Lives Matter.

March Around The Web

Spring has arrived and March has already come to a close. Like everyone, it was hard to not think back to one year ago and Covid-19 suddenly upended everything. I know I could never have imagined that I would still be working from home one year later! This month brought lots of walks as the weather warmed up, I celebrated my best friend Laura’s birthday, more members of my family got their vaccines (!!!), Sophie picked up her wedding dress, and I kicked off another round of lettering mentorship with my new mentee, Olivia! Otto also celebrated his 7th birthday on March 28th — he just keeps getting cuter!

Bring on the Blooms!

February Around The Web

What a month! Every year I count down the days until Valentine’s Day and my birthday as a bright spot in the coldest part of the year. And this year my birthday was absolutely freezing! We celebrated with Lidia’s pasta (a birthday tradition) and my mom made me chocolate ganache cake! Dale also surprised me with a Smeg electric kettle to go along with my Christmas toaster and I’m obsessed with my first pair of Lake Pajamas from my parents.

This month I also got to Facetime and see a few close girlfriends, we watched the Superbowl with Sophie and Alex, and I took part in a virtual Escape Room for my cousin Liesel’s birthday. Thankfully the last few days of the month really warmed up and we were able to get outside and have some fiends over to hang out on our deck. We are also busy planning Sophie’s wedding! In my researching I stumbled across this stunning Baby’s Breath arch!! Here are a few more finds around the web this month:
