'Tis almost the season...

To wrap presents! And thank goodness for that; We finally have an excuse to buy up all this amazing wrapping paper from John Derian.

Check out the rest of his super cool papers here.

say cheese!

a couple of weeks ago jen huang and i found our way (barely) to the melangerie trunk show at the brooklyn collective. i say barely because it did involve me picking jen up off the side of the street not long after i found myself lost on the same dark corner. it was well worth the adventure once we made it! melangerie sold some beautiful goods and there was a photo booth!

gosh, i love a photo booth!

thanks to george massim photography for running the booth!

we've got tammy golson, pepper (soon to be the most famous pup in blog world), jen huang, & elana from melangerie.

bon appetit!

with thanksgiving tomorrow all we can think about is food! turkey, roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and more stuffing! add a bit of vino, family, friends and it really is a perfect day in the making!

to kick it off enjoy some of our handpicked favorite dishes from stuart & welch catering. their menus are always seasonal and local making their dishes unbelievably fresh and yummy.

butternut squash shooter with cardamom & lemongrass

jumbo lump crab cakes with apple fennel relish & sauce gribiche

slow roasted salmon, quinoa pilaf, chickpea sauce, crispy parsley

truffles steak & eggs

We love these vintage inspired cameo & intaglio rings from Extesia. Each is handmade using traditional tools and techniques. The intaglios in a small Bavarian Village and the Cameos in an Italian seaside town (rumored to have invented the art of cameo making).

They could make for a pretty snazzy engagement ring... just sayin.

it's here!

it feels a bit like christmas morning here today. the excitement has been stirring for awhile in anticipation for rue's issue #2 and it's here! it is jammed packed with goodies you won't want to miss and make sure to check out our collaboration with desiree spinner & christian oth photography on pages 68-71.

warm up at a camp wedding!

with winter rapidly approaching and the holidays upon us we figured what better than a camp inspired wedding. complete with a s'mores and a hot cocoa bar to warm you up!

a big big thanks to jen huang photography for snapping these amazing photos and for more check out our post on oncewed here!
