I’d like to end all weekends hanging out with this lovely lady, with some photographs sprinkled here and there.
The more years I have behind me, the less I’m interested in trendy jewelry or clothes. I wear the same pieces over and over, gifts and my own proud purchases. Future heirlooms.
That I get to move into my mid-thirties with these two is unbelievably wonderful
These memory foam slippers are my early birthday present to myself this year and so far I have worn them every day all day. Small comforts, folks. They make a difference.
@michelle.xman... makeup extraordinaire, pastel inspiration, and one damn strong woman
What’s the word for being so happy that you traveled to see a place but also sad that the trip is now in the past, for feeling that it’s enriched your life but also makes everyday living just a little more dull? I feel like the Germans have one. Feeling that today as I edit our photos from Rome.
Not your average potluck
Cinderella’s shoes in real life #karabrodgesellweddings
First weekend at home in a month 💕
Caught the photographer taking a rare break
A weekend of panoramas and gratitude to be back in California
Jasper at dusk. Summers in Vermont are a family tradition, but it’s another thing entirely to mark the passage of time by seeing how much these kids grow
What a place to take a break and let the babe crawl around. Where do you go after you’ve spent lunch roaming around on marble bathed in this light and AC?
DC has a lawn inside of a beautiful building, and thank god for it, because I cannot step outside without sighing and remarking on the humidity. It’s pathetic but it cannot he helped.
