recharging

lately the combined effects of long work days, finishing up wedding planning (it's only a month away!?!) and crazy sinus pressure have left me completely exhausted and uninspired.

thankfully there's the internet and creative people like this and this and this to bring me (and all of you) lovely images like those above.

oh and thank goodness its cool enough outside now for enjoying many many cups of tea ;)

for the love of beer

so i'm a beer drinking girl. yes, i love a nice glass of wine and i'm partial to a gin cocktail, but if forced to choose, i'll pretty much always opt for a cold glass of good beer.

back in June, bryan and i took a little road trip and got to stop at a number of wineries and breweries. most excitingly was the stop we made at the Ommegang brewery in Cooperstown, NY (i.e. the middle of nowhere farmland where even google maps gets confused). Ommegang makes some of the tastiest Belgian beer this side of the Atlantic and i'm not sure much compares to their Three Philosophers quadrupel brew (read - high alcohol content) that is made with cherry lambic (pair with chocolate for happiest results). so if you ever find yourself driving through New York state or deciding from a beer menu that contains an Ommegang brew, by all means treat yourself.

have a joyous weekend!

i just love this photo of the bridesmaids at Elizabeth Taylor's first wedding. those dresses have quite the dramatic neckline.

it's a fitting photo though, as this weekend is jam packed full of wedding festivities! i'm currently up in NYC hanging out with my bridesmaids hopefully not getting into too much trouble ;) then we're all back on sunday for the wedding shower!

i really can't believe how real it is all becoming... this week we also shot our engagement session in old city Philadelphia (i tweeted about it) and i can't wait to see how it turned out.

but time is moving ahead and summer is going by so fast! i hope you have wonderful weekend plans and enjoy the summer sun ;)
