classic handmade bicycle anniversary invitations

I recently had the pleasure of creating some save-the-dates for a 50th anniversary party happening this summer in upstate New York. Inspired by a photo from Anne & John Fay’s 1963 wedding in County Kildare, Ireland I designed the piece to take a page from a photo album of yesteryear. Using a whimsical font, black […]

vintage library wedding at the quadrangle club

It was early June when Sarah + Michael had their wedding at the Quadrangle Club. Laura took charge of coordinating their day and we both agree they deserve the “chillest couple of all time” award. It was nearly unbelievable how relaxed and easygoing they were through the entire planning process and on the day of […]

We’re at it again, buying multiple copies of Marie Claire magazine just to see that sweet, sweet byline in print again! And yes, the lady at Target is still giving us looks about it.

Look what we found….Bad Loo Loo was featured on Refinery29’s “Best of Etsy: 30 Cool Indie Finds Straight From Chi-Town” And then we danced around the apartment jumping up and down for a good 15 minutes, only quitting to enjoy some champagne cocktails to celebrate.

bad loo loo etsy shop launch

It’s been one of my personal goals for about two years now to open an Etsy shop. I am always making things and creating things that people tell me I should sell. It seemed like such a daunting task and for the better part of two years, something that was easier to check off my […]
