A Bushel and a Peck.

Photos from the big bachelorette weekend arrived yesterday and I cannot stop paging through them. Will have more up later but couldn't wait to post this pic of my 'maids.

These girls make me SO HAPPY.

Señorita.

A sneak peek from a shoot I did this weekend with my dear friends Christina and Paul out in Scottsdale. They are (clearly) an absolutely beautiful couple - inside and out - and are set to marry come September.

Love it. Love THEM.

Major soul in these two, people. Seriously!

I am endlessly inspired by the way they give, forgive, and grow.

*More photos to come AND a mini Knock, Knock too!

Back Home.

I returned early this morning from a wild weekend in AZ where we celebrated Haley's bachelorette and I was also able to visit some friends and family. It was so great to get away with the girls but now it's time for major catch up! I have a bazillion photos I'm still working on from Malibu, and even more from the desert. Will try to share very soon.

In other news, Arizona left me wanting more IKAT in my life.

And Z'Tejas, of course. YUM.

*Looking for a cute little rug in this pattern to marry on in the woods. Hollah at me if you've seen anything cute and reasonably priced!

Malibu Mugs.

Dear, dear Kirsten - from Beaux Arts Photographie - sent us a sneak preview of the bachelorette/pre-wedding weekend in Malibu. LOVE. I can hardly wait to see the rest. AND can hardly wait to get her up to the mountains to shoot the wedding in just over a month!

Counting down. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

p.s. you can see the tiniest bit of my actual wedding dress above. Ari has yet to see it ON me.

Just had to have a few pics with my girls in the real deal!

Poached.

Practicing to perfect the poached egg and hollandaise sauce. There's a little guacamole hidden under there too. Never afraid to throw it all together at the end of the week! Why let perfectly food go to waste? Especially when a man named Ari will eat just about anything you put in front of him.

Mmmm lemon.

*slightly adapted THIS recipe.

Get Down.

Some new favorite tunes to rock to:

Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap

Everywhere I Go - Lissie

Lasso - Phoenix

Stokkseyri - Jonsi & Alex

You and Your Heart - Jack Johnson

Cruisin - D'Angelo

Audience - Cold War Kids

Make U Love Me - Robin Thicke

Still working on Malibu pics and reminiscing.

Can't wait to see Kirsten's shots.

I can imagine they won't be anything less than amazing!

HAPPY WEEKEND xo

One. More. Year.

Today I am 29! Which means...approximately 365 days and I will no longer be chasing. Thirty, that is.

I can't wait to post pics from our fabulous bachelorette/pre-wedding weekend. It was seriously above and beyond what I'd imagined in my wildest of dreams. All of my love and thanks to those who attended and worked hard to make it perfect.

PERFECT.

As for tonight, I'm thinking Alice (didn't end up seeing it weeks ago!) and good food and Ari? Perhaps another dose of friends this weekend?

Wherever the wind takes me.

Peeps.

I will be spending the next few days away for my bachelorette and I am too happy for words. Visitors started arriving yesterday and will all be in by tomorrow morning. Needless to say, I will be a busy girl!

So I leave you with a very happy cake baked by the Grealys.

Tweet.

Have a great weekend!

Not the Pits.

Made - the above - guacamole last night.

Have you ever added parmesan or oregano to your mix?

Thanks to Siri & Paradise Cove, I have.

Summer. SUMMER.

Bring. It. On.

Other People's Photos.

Check out THIS photog's food snaps. Buh-mazing.

They make me want to get my learn on.

With the camera and the kitchen.

Think I might put a hold on a wedding band.

And go pinky instead.

Look! Even she has one...

We ate at Bottega Louie again this weekend.

It is absolutely fantastic and, if/when in LA, you must try.

This just makes me happy. Very happy.

Out of the Loop.

Things are a little crazy for me.

You'll have to excuse my potential absence in the next week or so!

Though I'll try to get to posting all I can.

The wedding brain is starting to creep.

For now, some randomness...

So excited I can hardly sleep.
