It is nice and foggy this morning. I love these cozy, drizzly mornings in the city. They make me think about fall, my favorite season. Looking ahead, I’d love to debut as married woman in San Francisco with this look from the DVF fall collection. Love the skinny belt and bracelet over gloves.

Rob and I are going to the Marin Mountain Play with a bunch of friends on June 7th. This theater group has been putting on outdoor performances on Mt. Tamalpais since 1913. A nice big blanket and a deluxe picnic outdoors sounds perfect! And apparently you can put your gear on the shuttle and choose…

This is a fun and affordable party favor idea: pocket mirrors! For under $20 you can order 10 custom mirrors from the WistfulSupplies Etsy shop. I always find myself needing a mirror, especially since our car doesn’t have one on the passenger side visor. Since you get to design them yourself, the possibilities are endless.…

Are any of you readers maybe in France right now or planning to go this summer? If so, I have a job for you. I want to get some more pieces from my favorite brand, Darjeeling. I know my sizes. I’ll pay well for the task. Anyone up for a little lingerie smuggling? Send me…

When I get stressed about wedding planning, it helps to look at old wedding photos online. Flickr has almost 500 photos in the Vintage Wedding pool. The couples are so cute and I think the simple weddings help to keep things in perspective.

Time to redo the bridal party mock-up with the new bridesmaid dresses. And possibly suits! The rental place where we ordered Rob’s tux for the Ball seems much nicer than most. They rent black suits too, which might be an affordable and easy way to get the men dressed. I was worried about the mix…

Christina Applegate is adorable on Samantha Who. Her white dress, blonde curl, urban style would be perfect for a downtown cocktail reception wedding. I’m using her as inspiration for my own ongoing second-dress hunt.

The printed blouse I wore rowing on Monday is from our shopping trip the previous day. It’s the Adrias Blouse from Brooklyn Industries on sale for $48, plus 15% off online or 30% in the store through tonight. I don’t know why the top looks quite so lumpy on the model, it is very cute…

This weekend in New York completely rocked! I had such a good time. I can’t believe how much we did in just a few days. You can see all the photos online here. Rob and I landed at 10:30 on Thursday night. We met up with the woman delivering us apartment keys, grabbed some snacks…

We’re off to New York tomorrow morning for Memorial Day weekend. I have a day of business meetings planned for Friday. On Saturday, Rob has arranged for an epic bike ride around the island of Manhattan. It’s a glorious harebrained scheme! Maybe to the Met on Sunday, we’ll see. Have a great weekend!
