this + that

Hi hi hi!!  Just wanted to pop in to say hello and share a few of my favorite links from this week + fun summer recipes.  Enjoy!

Have you seen Katie’s S’more Pie??  Summer dessert at it’s finest!

Do you follow Roost blog?  If not, that needs to change…today.  Coco just got a book deal, and I’m jumping out of my seat in excitement!  Talented does not even begin to describe it.

I’m currently in California with Jessica _[and a group of about 16 other bloggers]_ most likely getting into trouble.

I want every single recipe from Spoon Fork Bacon’s summer recipe roundup in my mouth right this very instant.

Do you know what fracking is?

A super fun style + design blog you will love.  Well, I definitely love it and maybe you will too.

I can’t get this fennel + goat cheese flatbread out of my brain! 

Design a pair of vegan party shoes?  Sweet!

Make your own dry shampoo.  Totally trying this!

And a few summery recipes you might enjoy…

the weekend

I’m back in Colorado for about the next 36hrs before heading to California for a super quick 2 night trip.  More on that soon!  For now, here is a little snippet from a beautiful wedding weekend.  It was so great to be with all of our Colorado friends in Ohio, celebrating Ali + Jon’s big day.

We also did a little celebrating for our 4 year anniversary! 

The rehearsal dinner was fabulous.

Lovely bride to be!

Wedding day!

Wedding day hair, which was a waterfall braid that I learned from Gina’s tutorial.  It only takes about 5 minutes!  I never do anything fun with my hair, so I was kind of excited about it.

Very sweet ceremony.

We had to fill the gap between the ceremony + reception somehow!

Guest gifts + place cards!  So so thoughtful to fill a special GF jar just for me!

I absolutely loved their postcard sign in “book!”  Write a postcard to the couple and then add it to the photo album.

Their favorite holiday + meal is Thanksgiving, so they served a Thanksgiving feast with plenty of veggie options!  Instead of a cake, they served pie!  Such a creative idea.

The Colorado crew!

Couldn’t be happier for these two.

Cheers to newlyweds!
