Why, hello Kate!

I absolutely adore Kate Spade. 

With her impeccable style and colorful whimsy, how could you not?

And come on, she loves bows. (Heart be still.)

Enough in fact that her new Edina store front is a la her geometric bow. 

When I received an email to the grand opening party, it was an obvious RSVP. 

Yes, please and thank you very much!

My husband was awesome enough to brave the crazy lovely crowds of girls people to be my date. 

Ever the stud of a husband that man is.

I felt like royalty. 

Bubbly. Butler passed hors d'oeuvres. So.much.pretty.

I think it's safe to say that I lovingly caressed every item in that store. 

We pushed our way through through people strolled through each and every inch. 

I asked the manager if I could take pictures to share with my blog followers. (Such a rule follower.)

See below for my snapshots. 

Happy weekend!

xo, H

  

A purse version of a card catalog drawer! (Made me think of my librarian friend, B.)

Obsessed with this wallpaper.

I love the gold glitter shoes. 

I have to constantly remind myself that I have a few decades on six years old and can no longer pull all things sparkle off. 

Doesn't stop me from trying.

One of my favorite things in the store. Cutest booties with bows and gold heels. Charge it, please!

Yours truly.

overdue update

My dear readers,
Sorry to be so elusive. Much has happened since my last post and I will try to post multiple times this week to fill you in on all of it.

A little teaser:
-new job
-New York
-new dress

Lots of newness as you can see.

Right now, as we work on getting our save the dates out, we are working on our website. We want it to be a one-stop place where guests can look to find travel tips, routes, suggested hotels, links to registries, photos, read our love story and so on. Where to start? Francis, the sweetheart that he is created a blog under our names. I'm wondering if it is easier to do one of the wedding websites. Does anyone have experience or a strong opinion of one or the other? I like how the wedding websites are already categorized into different sections and we simply fill in information. I like how the blog leaves more room for creativity on our part and the domain is simpler.

Decisions, decisions.

H
