In Lieu of my weekly {Week in Pictures} I decided to dedicate Sunday’s post to my friend {Sara}. Last weekend we celebrated her Bachelorette Party – Last Fling Before the Ring. I’m so very excited for her wedding this month. Months ago I took photos for her Save the Dates {See blog post }. She looked so beautiful the night of her bachelorette party. Her dress was sequined and sparkly – she was the perfect bachelorette. Here is a glimpse of our night…
Yesterday was the perfect day for a night boat cruise. I remember a year ago around this time, designers at my firm gathered together for a happy hour cruise around Seattle’s Lake Union. {See blog post 7 Knots} My favorite furniture/fabric rep and personal friend Esther Du Graf invited designers from my firm for a dinner and drinks cruise hosted by herself, husband William and beautiful daughter Isabella. It was absolutely amazing – a perfect Summer night! We boarded the ESTHER WILLIAMS {a combination of her name and her husbands name + nod to famous American actress and swimmer Esther Williams of the 1950’s}. Their yacht is absolutely stunning – a 1956 fifty-four foot Chris Craft – so classic and beautiful. Here is a glimpse of our summer night…
Thank you Esther + Family. You spoiled us. Perfect Summer Night.
Hello again Monday! My friend {Chelsea} said she had an amazing time at Pickathon. She discovered this band – Warpaints and said this all-girl band was absolutely badass and amazing. This Indie American band is from Los Angeles, CA consisting of Stella Mozgawa, Theresa Wayman, Jenny Lee Lindberg, and Emily Kokal. Listen to Disco/Very and Keep it Healthy.
Hello. We continue the Photo Project for 2014 – the random photos that I take throughout the week will embody a theme. In 2013 it was all about The Polaroid Project. If you haven’t seen The Polaroid Project video, please visit the post. This week I asked my best friend {Beverly} to give me the word for the week. She decided to give me two words {curious} + {brave}. Both of the words were inspired by her little son Theo. Here is a glimpse of my week…
