Just What the Doctor Ordered

March 14, 2012

Or doctors… lots of them!  A beautifully snowy and picturesque Woodstock, VT was the setting for the wedding of one of my best friends, Dr. Caitlin, and her love, Dr. Dave.  They met during her residency program in Philly, so as you can imagine the guest list was filled with a lot of M.D.’s!  I’m not sure how the hospitals in Philly were operating that weekend…

The super talented J.B. Reed shot the wedding.  Check out some of his favorite photos!

This is one of my favorites. Caitlin has owned these amazing boots since college… I call them “the dogs”.

The Holstee Manifesto

February 2, 2012

I’ve noticed this image floating around “the internets” lately and I cannot agree with it more! If you asked me when I was six what I wanted to be when I grew up, I’d tell you “a wedding planner”. If you asked me on December 21, 2008 what I’d be on February 2, 2012, I’m pretty sure the answer would be “a mid-level marketing executive”.

Today is Groundhog Day, and thinking back to the movie of the same name reminds me that unlike Bill Murray, who relived Groundhog Day over and over, you and I only live one life, so why not spend it doing what we love? Yes, I’m only living my dream because fate (aka “a financial crisis”) stepped in and dealt me a consider a serious blow. But, it was also an opportunity – a chance to try what I’d always wanted to do, but didn’t think was a realistic career path. Sure, maybe this advice is not entirely realistic for everyone, but take a moment and think it through…

Winter Wedding Inspiration

February 1, 2012

When one of my best friends (the preppiest person I know!) told me last Fall that she was planning a January wedding in Woodstock, VT, the first thing I did was sit down to create a preppy pink and green, winter chic inspiration board that I thought would be perfect for her. And then I sat and waited for her to ask for it. While I love to offer up wedding advice to friends and family, a lot of people like to do there own thing or are maybe concerned that they’ll offend me if they don’t like it or don’t use it [they won't!], so I usually try to wait until asked.

She finally did!  So, I thought I’d share it with you all too.

{I wish I could remember where all of these pictures were sourced from… as I remember I’ll update here!}
