As the weeks get busier and more hectic, I crave a lazy weekend. Sleeping in, making pancakes and long evening walks with hubs & dog.
Hope your weekend has a little re-energizing time!

Can you smell the lilac and crab apple trees? I clipped lilac off the bush and set a huge vase of them on the kitchen counter and the entire house smells so heavenly. Why is this the first year I’ve done that? It should be a spring ritual, just something that thrusts spring into the entire house. Even if the storm windows are still on.
The past few weeks have been just gorgeous and warm. Perfect for a spring inspiration shoot. I paired up with Bare Root Flora, Common Couture and Frills Cake Shop and our gorgeous models Seth & Holly to do a spring shoot. I’m in love with how it turned out! And I’m not even done editing or seen the film yet. But *sigh* the colors and the light just exude romance. Just how spring should be. A little sneak peak at what’s to come. 
Do you have a favorite spring bloom? I’d love to hear your thoughts, right a comment.

You know when you meet someone and you just know they get you. You’re in sink from the first moment. Kelly and Mason are my kinda people. Easy laid back and totally utterly in love with each other. They just melt into each other. There were several time I’m sure they forgot I was even there. And Kelly’s style…oh yeah I think she went shopping in my closest!
After canceling our first date due to illness and horrible weather I was bummed. But I’m so glad we did because the weather was perfect and Mason now actually wanted to kiss his beautiful bride! Bonus!
Seriously so much fun hanging out with you guys! Next time needs to include drinks!

The most common question about my trip to Nepal is, what was your favorite part? What about Nepal made me light up like the Christmas tree in NYC? The KIDS! The kids melted my heart to a puddle of goo. They ran around me with giddy smiles and laughter to soften even the hardest of hearts. I feel in love with the kids. While trekking into our village kids of all ages would come running as soon as the slightest notion a foreigner was near by. Some smiled from ear to ear, some shyly looked on with eyes full of wonder. But they all joined their little hands together next to their heart and bowed their heads with kindest ‘Namaste’.
Every single kid.
Before I left I looked up adoption in Nepal, because knowing me there’d be at least one kid I’d want to bring home. Note to self, don’t go to an orphanage. Sadly or more lucky adoption is not permitted to foreigners right now.
Lucky for this kiddo’s parents.
I can’t say when I’ll be back to Nepal. Knowing me I WILL be back at some point in my life. The kids are what will pull me and my heart back. Their joy and spirit for life when everything around them says ‘poverty’ in our standards. Blissfully happy. You can’t help but fall in love.

I’m picky, with expensive taste to go alone with it. I blame my design education exposing me to things that are just to gorgeous for words. Expensive taste can be a problem. You fall in love with things that are just not in the cards. But it can also be helpful in finding some of the best shops and professionals that offer the things that persnickety people like me want. And in some cases are willing to pay for.
Felice Bridal you are a place for laid back persnickety people like me. You understand that buying your wedding dress can be overwhelming. And you understand finding the very best for a reasonable price.
I instantly feel in love with the ladies at Felice when I meet them at the Grant Humphrey’s Bridal show. They are my people. Easy going, cute style and totally girly without going crazy white puff, if you know what I mean.
The texture and detail is like getting lost in a dream of vintage couture. 
I want to get married again just for the dress. Maybe just buy a dress and wear it around the house like Rachel & Febe in Friends. Just because. 
Felice you are without a doubt my dream bridal shop. Laid back, hilarious to hang out with, and persnickety taste.
If you’re in the market for a bridal gown, please head down to Cherry Creek, Robyn and Karen would Love to help you!
