Loving myregistry.com…

Amy — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 00:12:22 +0000

I just discovered myregistry.com when two of my friends registered for their wedding. I love,love,love this concept, it’s finally an organized way to register for lots of the items that you really love that happen to be at smaller stores. For instance, they registered for products from A+R, and all sorts of amazing design objects from other small boutiques. You can also register to bigger stores all in one website, i.e. Target,Crate&Barrel and all the other usual places, and you can set up a honeymoon fund,or house fund too!

Off to a wedding…

I’m so excited for one of my best friends weddings this week, it’s in upstate NY and is going to be a blast. (I love this mag tear, from Moodboard)

Another bridesmaid dress…

I’m also a bridesmaid for another wedding that is coming up in 32 days! We all are wearing beige dresses, so this is the one I picked. It’s by BCBG Generation. I’m loving that my friends are letting us all pick our own dresses, we are all soooo glad to not be stuck with old fashioned satin dresses!

On the hunt for a black dress…

I’m on the hunt for a nice black dress. I’m a bridesmaid in a wedding coming up, and I’m loving the bride for suggesting we all just get black dresses (everyone loves an excuse to shop for a black dress!). I love this lacey dress by Catherine Malandrino.

This DVF dress is really cute too, I love the neckline.

It’s not really appropriate for the event, but it would be a great summer dress (by James Perse).

Wedding Belles…

The other week I had the chance to go wedding dress shopping with one of my dearest friends. We found an amazing dress, success! For those of you on a similar hunt, I strongly suggest checking out Nordstrom’s site for their wedding dress section. The above BCBG dress is gorgeous in person (although I hate the way it is styled above).

I love this BCBG dress too.

This one is also BCBG, and really pretty, and super femme.

This Philip Lim dress is perfect for a modern bride having a city wedding.

I love the personality of this Anna Sui dress.

And for those that can pull off mod looks, this DVF number could be really fun, especially for a tropical destination wedding.

More Wedding Present Ideas…for the chef

Amy — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 00:17:06 +0000

Over the weekend lots of people were asking me what to give as a wedding present….a belated wedding present. So, since some time has passed for this gift, cash in my mind would be tasteless…so it’s going to take a more sentimental or thoughtful gift. My immediate reaction was, do something to allow the couple to go on a date. If they have kids, volunteer to babysit and get them a gift certificate to a cute local restaurant. If budget is an issue, splurge on fun food prep items in a theme of a certain type of cooking you know the couple enjoys.

While making dinner tonight, I was thinking about how much I love my antique juicer and my fancy zester (from Williams-Sonoma). A cute antique juicer is easy to find on ebay or at almost any antique mall. I personally love the jadite style or, like mine a depression era green glass style.

Grilling is always a great theme. I’ve been lusting after this burger press for a while. These cute seasonings and a electronic meat thermometer can make excellent add-ons. I also recently purchased a spatula from this set at Williams-Sonoma which I love, as well as this amazing Grill Wizard from Amazon.

Wedding Season…what to give? part 1

Here’s an idea if the couple loves to cook. These grilling pans are beautiful objects and look like so much fun. I’ve never seen anything like them before, but apparently they are inspired by the chefs of Spain’s Basque country and are made for cooking shrimp,sliced veggies, and all those other things that always fall through the grill rack.

Finally found a dress…

Amy — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:13:47 +0000

After looking over the Nordstrom dress selection for a good couple hours, I finally made a decision on what to wear to Leo’s brother’s wedding. I decided on this Trina Turk dress. I love the silk jersey fabric (should be great for dancing!) and the back of the dress has a really nice metal ring detail. My other choice was the below Theory dress, I love the print, but it didn’t feel dressy enough for the occasion.

I also helped my mom find a great crochet dress at Lilly Pulitzer that she is going to look fabulous in.

What to wear?

Leo’s brother is getting married next weekend, and I’m trying to find the perfect dress. I’m loving this Milly dress.
