Happy Monday




Happy Monday. How was your weekend? What did you do? My weekend was pretty low-key and I got some much needed rest. Wish I could say I was out and about sporting a cute look like this chick. (images from here via here)

Happy 4th



I hope everyone has a great weekend! I am going to take the rest of the week off... because on a personal side note, I am quite exhausted. My babe is still sick and fussy, hopefully she will get better soon. (big props to all you parents out there)

Hotel Particulier



If we still go to Paris this fall, like Brittnye I'd love to stay here in Montmarte.

Stephmodo



Last Thursday while attending her elegant and well thought out cooking class I was again reminded how much I enjoy the company of Stephanie, who I briefly knew from working at the Museum of Art in college. Stephanie amazes me with her ability to compose gorgeous (and I mean gorgeous) meals with the freshest ingredients in town, to decorate her home in a elegant and modern way, and to be thoroughly educated in various topics from art history (her major in college) to knowing the best places to shop in the area, and of course all great things relating to motherhood. Along with all of these qualities she is down to earth, friendly, and super fun to be around. Stephanie is the epitome of what I call a classy lady. If you haven’t already done so, do stop by her blog, ‘stephmodo’ and you’ll get a little glimpse of what I am talking about. It is one of my favorite daily reads.

*Oh, did I mention her and her family are going to France for an entire month this summer, to help educate their children about cultures outside of America. C'est magnifique!

Gertrude & Mabel






I believe I first saw the work of Gertrude and Mabel over at Snippet & Ink. What fantastic wedding and portrait photographers they are, be sure to check out their website! I love all of the above shots, they speak volumes about the fun of summer and happy romance.
