photo booth! kate spade sequin pumps! twinkle light covered trees!
The wedding in Arizona this weekend was hot, but beautiful! I loved many, many things about it (e.g. the white sangria), but I thought I’d highlight just a few with some snapshots from the festivities. Picture This Photo Booths had a photo booth at the reception – complete with props! – and I can’t wait to see the pics up on the Web site. The gorgeous bride – Stephanie Fay (now Motte!) – was wearing glittery Kate Spade pumps that I have been lusting over for weeks. Obsessed. And I couldn’t get over the twinkle light-filled courtyard reception! So romantic!
**A thank you to Ashlyn from Carter & Cook Event Co. for the photo of Steph’s shoes!**

I’m heading out to Scottsdale, Ariz. in the next half hour, so I’ll have a lot to write about when I get back! I’m sure it’s going to be a gorgeous (fun!) wedding, since the lovely wedding photographer Stephanie Fay is the bride, and I haven’t been to Arizona since I was super little, so that’s an adventure in and of itself.
I’m borrowing Molly New York’s Sweet Olive Shift from my good friend Heather - so cute! – and my trimmed up sideswept bangs and apple red mani/pedi complete the look! (Still haven’t decided on shoes…)
It’s supposed to be pretty warm over there, quite a change from the cool temps we’ve had here this past week, so we might have to cool off at the Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Parlor, my sources say it’s the place to be!
Have a great weekend!

I’ll just cut to the chase.
If you like being pampered, impeccable design and spending your day soaking up the sun on a pool float in a perfectly temperate crystal clear pool with an ice cold beverage in your hand, please, for the love, spend a night (or more) at the Viceroy Palm Springs. Pronounced (Miami) vice + roy, this luxury hotel was beautiful, relaxing and full of helpful, attentive staff. It was absolutely perfect for a girls weekend!

City Neighborhood Poster by Ork Posters $22 - orkposters.com
Since I have a fabulous girls trip in Palm Springs this upcoming weekend (yay!), we decided to celebrate our two-year a week early by spending Labor Day weekend in LA. We had so much fun just walking around, shopping, seeing new areas of LA while driving around (not lost 
) and eating way, way too much food.
In two days, we explored West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Culver City; ate at six restaurants (technically two were for dessert only); shopped at three malls (including Third Street Promenade); and went to possibly the only IHOP with valet.
“You want to practice parking?”
“What’s the point? Everywhere you go has valet.”
(If you don’t know that movie, we can’t be friends.)

Book swap at Book Soup, featuring Kogi BBQ
Wow. Just, wow. I’m literally drooling right now…it’s times like these that smog and traffic fly right out of my head and I think I could actually live in L.A.
Because I am a crazy blog-following, site-visiting, Twitter-tweeting Internet fanatic, I heard through “sources” that a Goodreads-sponsored, Kogi BBQ-catered book swap would occur last Saturday at Book Soup in L.A., and I had an undeniable urge to make the trek up to this glorious event. Korean BBQ? Free books? Yesssssss please!
It far surpassed my expectations. Not only were there tables of free books that were continually being replenished, there was yummy free wine inside from Bear Flag Wines, sweet tunes from a DJ and Kogi, was, well, to-die-for. The hour-long line wasn’t even an issue. I’m ashamed to admit how much food we consumed, especially since it was gone in about 10 min., but the glorious, delicious details, after the jump.

Bijou, Cafe and Voodoo Doughnut
Even though our Portland trip was quick, we managed to find two delicious gastronomic hotspots with lots of local flair and equally long waits!
On Saturday, we had an amazing brunch at the French American breakfast spot – Bijou, Cafe – and the following day had a few too many doughnuts at the Sprinkles of Portland, Voodoo Doughnut. Read all the greasy details, after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
