Is there any drink better?
To call myself ‘obsessed’ with St. Germain sounds kind of… eh… bad. But I do love it. I had my first sip on a trip to Chicago last year (see post here), and I’ve been hooked ever since. I literally could not stop grinning when I saw this Cocktails Fridays post on Oh So Beautiful Paper. That illustration! Those pictures! Those recipes. Sigh. July 19, come quickly.
I love the work of Karine’s photographer, Laura Murray, and as I was perusing her blog, I discovered the most beautiful floor length BCBG white gown. Currently obsessed with buying white dresses, I thought – why not? I think this one will definitely make it into our engagement session. It’s almost $100 cheaper on Dillards.com than BCBG – find the Mara gown here (and yes, it’ll make me think about you, Mara).
We’re on our way to Colorado for my sister’s wedding. I could not be more excited. Seriously. They’re getting married in the gorgeous Dunton Hot Springs (post here) on Sunday. We’re spending the first few days at my parent’s new house in Durango. There will be a million pictures to follow! Stay tuned.

78 days until I become Mrs. Petrovic. 3 days until Karine becomes Mrs. Hollimon. Only one Semple girl will be left!
Isn’t that sign adorable? Find it here on Etsy. The Wedding March has been stuck in my head for hours. Cue “dun dun da-dun…” on repeat.
Sasha’s sister, aunt and cousin threw me the best shower this Saturday. I had such a great time, and got so many Crate and Barrel packages I don’t know what to do with myself! I spent yesterday writing all 41 ‘thank you’ cards with my new Shutterfly stationery (best discounts ever). I wanted to do a themed hostess gift, and given my love of all things coffee, I decided to go with ‘Thanks a Latte.’ I had way too much fun putting these together! I cannot wait to come up with the next hostess gift. Images and links are below.
