Featured on The Fount Collective

Head over to The Fount Collective blog to read about my thoughts on motherhood and see more photos from our family shoot in Hawaii taken last fall.

Makeover!

Well, things finally grew up over here and I called it quits on the old school Blogger template. If you are reading in a reader, pop on over to see how things have been spruced up! I cannot thank Danielle of Dandy Designs enough for her work! If you are looking for refresher for your blog, contact her pronto.

Happy weekend, friends!

The One Where I Take a Break

{Alyssa Nassner}

Hi friends, I am going to take a break from this blog for awhile. I just am not feeling it lately. Might be the winter blues, might be something else? Either way, I hope to see you soon. Love, Holly

Merry Holidays

I have been struggling to blog lately. This week is no exception. Posting will be sparse!

{girl and cat}

I kind of thought it might happen, after the momentum of wedding blogging ended and the beginning of cold weather (i prefer summer, thank you) I have reached a bit of a blogging slump. Hoping to turn that around. Maybe I need to finally join Pinterest like the rest of the world. Anything of interest to you lately?

Facelift

Some of you have noticed already, but if you're reading through a reader, click through and check out my new header! It was designed by Jess of IROCKSOWHAT, didn't she do an awesome job? She also made me a button, so if you are into those, feel free to grab it! I can't believe I had my old header since October 2009. Apparently something about October makes me want a change, feels good!

Here we go...!

I can't believe the day is already here. I feel like it was just yesterday that Jon got down on one knee and proposed. And now I will walk down the aisle tomorrow! I wanted to use this post to say thank you. To you. For reading this blog and allowing me to journal the whole process and mostly for providing me with the best advice and support. Sometimes I felt like I was talking about the wedding too much but you girls were always there to let me know it was okay. Thank you. This blog world really is a wonderful thing and I am so lucky to have the best readers.

xoxo,
Holly

My Summer Essentials...at Yellow Brick Blog!

Hi! Today I am over at my girl Lyndsy's blog, Yellow Brick Blog, sharing my summer essentials. Be sure to check it out and see what I'm craving this summer and can't live without.  After reading my post stay awhile and catch up one of my fave gal's blog!

Ha...

From Natalie Dee and Married to the Sea.

Anthology Launch Party (Where I did not get a copy of Anthology magazine)

The girl of the hour. I should have snagged this before they ran out of copies.

The bartenders mixing up fancy cocktails with rosemary and Absinthe.

Homeboy needs to cut his nails. Eek!

Just drinking wine on a West Elm couch with my girl Jackie.

I met the beautiful Logan of Oh Hello.

Just as adorable and funny in person as you'd imagine.

Did I mention the delicious cocktails were freesies?

That sleek white machine is the Smilebooth! Highlight of the night, especially since this is where I met Joy of Oh Joy! Talk about charming and sweet.

After our first couple rounds at the booth, we were told by the dude above to come back after we had another cocktail.

Which resulted in....

No comment!

Stylish erasers, trays, and cups for pieces of chalk.

Only a blogger can truly appreciate this stuff.

And finally, checking out the holiday goodies at West Elm.

Amazing party, thank you so much Anthology!

The best way to spend a Thursday night

A magazine launch + photobooth + home design store + good friends + blog talk + drinks = recipe for success. Will post up all my photos soon!

Nothing wrong with being a little vain

Head on over to my girl Jackie's blog to peep my vanity!  Be sure to check Sweetie Pie Pumpkin Noodle all this week for more on her new blog series all about that pretty little corner of the room.

Goings On

We made some killer Cobb salads lately. Will you look at that beast? The idea stemmed from needing to use the lettuce in our garden, but funny, looking at this picture you can barely see it under the mountain of avie, bacon, cheese and egg. Highly recommend.

It was a good mail day. I got my ring from HauteLook (if you want to join, leave your email in the comments and I'll shoot ya an invite). I was nervous buying since you have to buy two different sizes within the same ring. It fits! and you can flip flop it either way, so you could possibly wear it 8 different ways between fingers.  And its only slightly weird typing with it on.

 Lastly, I got my blogging (instead of "calling"-no phone number) cards. SweetBeaker made them and I could not be happier with the quickness, quality and packaging. I will probably only hand them out to family and friends, but I had an urge last week to get them. And they match my header.

Nose in a book

I hope you all head over to Jackie's Sweetie Pie Pumpkin Noodle today.  If not for my guest post on my favorite books, then for her blog chock full of amazing design inspiration. See ya there!

New York Roundup: Blogger Meetup

One of the things I had planned to do on my trip early on was meet Summer of B is for Brown, my very first ever blogger meet up! We had connected a long time ago, with so many things in common and it was just a no-brainer. We dined on the most amazing hot dogs at Crif Dogs and then she treated to cuppies at Butter Lane. YUM**.

Thank you Summer for the perfect New York lunch date!

**It astonishes me that with the amazing food at every corner in nyc that my whole trip I barely saw one overweight person! While I wasn't staring at everyone, my overall people watching turned up in-shape people of all ages.
