ten “don’t miss” spots in New York City
If there is one thing I love in equal amounts to throwing a party, it’s definitely traveling and New York City is a favorite. Exploring new places, trying new foods, and seeing how others live is one of the things that brings me a lot of joy, not to mention endless amounts of inspiration for events and interiors. New York City is one of those places you can go over and over again and never do the exact same thing. I try to spend at least one weekend every year in NYC, and here are the things I constantly find myself going back to time and time again. Consider this your cheat sheet for a weekend well-spent, you know, once we can travel again.
belle atelier + goli june trunk show
Everything is weird right now. And even weirder that you all are out there trying to plan a wedding during this upside-down time. SO, anything that resembles the before times, or just a moment to get out of your routine and pretend things are normal is such a treat. So when the team at Belle Atelier asked us to swing by to see their new Chicago wedding dress shop (literally opened right as the pandemic got going) we jumped. We also showered, put on hard pants, lightly blow-dried, and put on EYE MAKE-UP (took a minute to remember how, tbh) so it’s clear we are in love with Giselle and the team.
our seven favorite places to find wallpaper
My signature move is definitely wallpaper. Infamously known for wallpapering a rental property with skeletons, I constantly resist the urge to wallpaper every single room in the house. My sister- and brother-in-law just bought their first house and they have the perfect wall for a statement wallpaper. Obviously, you know I wanted in on that, so I decided to share the collection of places I browse for wallpaper that I put together for them. A note: I am a wallpaper purist. I’ve never even used removable wallpaper. One, because this isn’t something I put up myself and, two because wallpaper a dying art I like to support. It doesn’t seem like there are that many people who put wallpaper up anymore, and it looks hard as hell. So, I like to support those who keep this analog art going.
