I’ve spent most of my life in warm climates–Singapore, Qatar, and Texas are not too big on winter! With that in mind, I definitely know the challenge of feeling festive and holiday-ready when it’s 75 degrees outside. I think that’s why I was so drawn to this gorgeous Santa Barbara wedding, photographed by Jessica Lewis […]

‘Tis the Friday before Christmas…are you ready? :) I put together an extra-long love list this week to squeeze in enough Christmas inspiration to last me till next year. Enjoy! {A darling Christmas tree-finding engagement session by Sarah Hasstedt via Grey Likes Weddings} {I’m all about unique receptions, but when it comes to ceremonies, there’s nothing […]

I’m so excited–not having finals in my four other classes is great, but it […]

It might be the hardest thing ever to keep December Weekly Sweets weekly, rather than, well, daily. There are just too many tasty treats out there that are perfect for winter!
