for the love of breakfast

Sugar — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 19:17:17 +0000

If I could have breakfast for every meal for the rest of my life, I would die a happy, old, waffle-filled woman. Tim often makes fun of me because I absolutely MUST have breakfast as my first meal…even if we sleep in and don’t get out of bed until lunchtime. I’m just an eggs-and-home fries/oatmeal-and-berries/bagel-and-cream cheese kind of girl! So you can imagine my delight when I came across the blog Simply Breakfast and nearly had a pancake-induced heart attack. The pictures are simple and lovely, and evoke feelings of waking up at your mom’s house and coming to the kitchen to find that she has set out a scrumptious breakfast for you (which my mom ALWAYS does). Set with a steaming cup of coffee, beautiful napkins, and fresh flowers, these perfectly lit pictures make my breakfast dreams come true.

The Antiques Garage

I’ve been having such an amazing response to my Gangstah Hankies that I was in desperate need of a trip to the flea market for more hankies! The Antiques Garage flea market in Chelsea is two floors filled with incredible goodies, and you could honestly spend all day in there (at least I sure could!) From vintage clothes to antique knick knacks, from old handwritten postcards to retro kitchenware…anything in your wildest dreams can be found here! I stocked up on hankies as well as a few other wonderful items, including a weekender suitcase with old travel stickers still on it. Every time we go to the Antiques Garage I just want to buy everything I see, but of course we don’t have the money (or the space!) for so many treasures. Oh well, a few key pieces will hold me over :)

NYE bohemian photo shoot

Sugar — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 02:53:35 +0000

In keeping with #4 of my new year’s resolutions, Tim and I welcomed in 2011 with a hippie dippie photo shoot. I bought this dress at Top Shop a few months ago knowing that I had nowhere to wear such a daring neckline but needing it with all of my being. I love the soft cream color, the delicate gold-threaded details, the plunging neck, the sweeping length, and the fluttering sleeves…it’s heaven in a dress. Tim tried to persuade me not to buy it…not because of the way it looked on me (believe me, no guy would turn down that decolletage!), but because it was just so impractical (damn him and his reasoning!) He said that, knowing me, I would NEVER wear it and that it was such an expensive item to just hang there in my closet. Well my dreams of photo shoots in a meadow, and on the beach, and in the mountains, and in the desert basically convinced me that I would wear it…lots of times. And to prove him right, that night we went home and I put it on as we watched our nightly television. I’m classy like that. He was right, of course. I can’t think of anywhere I would wear it in the real world, but in keeping with resolution #3, I’ll just have to force myself wear it to the market or the laundromat :)

Connecticut Bride

This past weekend the husby and I took a trip to New Haven, Connecticut to see what other treasures the east coast has to offer. Working hard to build up our portfolio for Sweet Little Photographs (check out the amazingness!), we did a mock bridal shoot in the beautiful fall leaves and they turned out so wonderful!

Sweet Little Photographs

Sugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 04:08:49 +0000

My updates have been few and far between for quite a few reasons…we’ve had a constant flow of houseguests, we got a little sick and just wanted to sleep all day, AND we started a new project that we are super duper excited about!!! I didn’t want to say anything about it until it became a reality, but Tim and I have decided to start our own wedding photography business! We were so inspired by Mark and Candice that we wanted to make other couples feel just as amazing as they made us feel. We’ve been working really hard on a name and a logo and all the little details, but we are so happy with the results and now we are just keeping our fingers crossed for success! So without further ado, we present to you Sweet Little Photographs!

TGIF!

I finished my first week as a New York nanny and I am just exhausted. Even though I’m sitting around for a majority of my day, my attention is being focused so intently that my mind is just shot by the end of the 9 1/2 hours and I come home talking like a two year old. This weekend I will be back on track and I will have lots of updates for you darlings. Here is a fun little treat to tide you over until then.

I just adore these pictures of Natalia Vodianova for Vogue Italia by photographer Bruce Weber. Thank you to Fashion Victims for bringing them out of the archives!
