Yearly Archives: 2008

This has been a good week. The sun is out and we’re headed into a three day weekend. Here’s what I learned this week: I ♥ Jane Austen. Riding the tandem bike is much faster, dorkier, than walking to work. Pretzel chips with hummus is the best snack. I climbed my first ever 10d this…

If you’re thinking to yourself: “Hmm, I really liked the Blair Witch Project a few years ago….if only the camera work in that film could have been 30% more shaky” then Cloverfield is the right choice for you. The movie was almost rendered completely unwatchable by the floppy hand-held style. A lot of people seated…

It sounds like Jacinda has her hand’s more than full with a baby and a home business: I had a baby 7 months ago and although I am almost back down to my pre-preg weight, my shape has changed a bit and I haven’t really found a look that matches my mommy lifestyle. We live…

How did I get sucked in to this one? A midnight showing of scary film Cloverfield downtown tonight? I’m told that is the combination of Blair Witch Project and Godzilla…lovely. At least it isn’t an alien film. I’ll let you know tomorrow how it goes.

New York, New York, what a wonderful town! How exciting it must be for Leigh to intern there this winter: I’m going to be huffing it around New York City for a month. I’ve gotten an internship in a notable photographer’s studio (not fashion photography, in case you’re wondering). I’m a college student without a…

I’ve thankfully recovered from my phase of being mad/sad/grump last week. I think it is January itself that really promotes this sort of bad attitude. Just in case some of you are suffering from a bit of seasonal agitation disorder, I propose inspiration in Bret’s Angry Dance from Flight of the Conchords: (PS: If angry…

The Illustrious Lindsay came through with a great recommendation for the paper flower garland! These magnolia kits from Paper Source make 16″ flowers. Perfect for adding a bit of structure and uniformity when combined with more diverse tissue and origami paper blossoms. Thank you, Lindsay (and have fun in Hawaii)!

A couple small heirloom roses tucked in behind your ear. It doesn’t get much more romantic than that for wedding day hair! Using silk flowers is supposed to be easier and more durable, but there is something special about using the real thing. I’m going to ask my florist for the bouquets to save a…

I tore a copy of this Simple Silhouettes photo from a bridal magazine last month. It’s not the dress I like (although it is nice) but the paper garland in the background. I’ve been trying to brainstorm ideas for decorating the stage that will be a centerpiece of our reception and variety show (here are…

Plain glass votive holders would be fine for our tables. But I love the idea of something with a tiny bit more flair. I was looking for rustic thick glass votive holders, with no luck yet, when I remembered Jamali Garden. I bought my centerpiece vases from this supply company in New York. I like…
