weekend update

james, lola & I stayed put in san francisco for the long holiday weekend. 

here's a little glimpse into our weekend:

always a photo op.

how can you not* snap a million pictures of the golden gate bridge?

and clearly we like to hike. 

just before the weekend ended we put up our christmas tree.

and I'm sort of obsessed. 

hope you all had a happy turkey day! 

love&hugs,

ashley

updates

even while feeling like death under the weather, I ventured down to LA for the weekend.
I had a blast catching up with college friends. friday night we ate at a fun new restaurant and headed out for cocktails.

 

 

saturday we went for a hike in the hollywood hills. the weather was pretty chilly but it was so clear we could see straight to the ocean. which apparently because of all the LA pollution is unheard of.

ange was the only rockstar who ran the malibu half marathon on sunday.
AND we stood right next to julia roberts, who was there cheering on her husband. yes. she is absolutely* gorgeous in person.  before I had to head to the airport we went to brunch ocean side and had a pretty kickass view.

 
when I got back to SF- James and I went to dinner with my godsister, Ashley- who's now engaged and getting married the same day as us!

and yesterday- I committed thigh & social suicide by signing up for the SF half marathon. the cool part? we get to run over the golden gate bridge. damn ange and her inspiration and ashley for her persistence.

the last weekend in october I was in Miami for work and decided to make a weekend of it to visit michelle! we had sooo much fun- I wish we lived closer! even after a little bad weather and getting sand blasted the entire time- we spent the morning at the beach.

since it was halloween and it is michelle's favorite holiday (I don't do costumes)- I compromised with cat ears. we went to a yummy restaurant and headed out for cocktails.

wedding planning is coming along, sorta.
we have all the big decisions out of the way and I've been playing around with decor ideas. it's hard putting things together when I'm 3000 miles away from our venue. fun.

I am doing all of the stationary myself. I am actually reeeeally excited about this. my friend jess has helped me pick out of some of the designs and I've ordered the sample paper, so I can't wait to get to work on those! and the custom stamp I got finally came in!

 I have no clue where to go with bridesmaid dresses. seriously I didn't think I was capable of being so indecisive.

lots and lots of decisions to make and 8 months is going to come quick. eep!

love & hugs,
ashley

weekend update!

happy monday lovelies!

I always hate to say goodbye to the weekend. We had some gorgeous weather and spent the majority of our time outside.

friday: since the weekend started a day earlier-- wootwoot! I ventured up to Mt Tamalpais with my friend Julie & while I was scared shitless from hearing noises that sounded like rattle snakes (there are signs pretty much everywhere to watch out for rattlesnakes)-- the views (and drive) were breathtaking.

SF / golden gate bridge

saturday: while original plans were to head to the oakland A's home opener-- we decided we'd rather spend the afternoon outside! we jumped in the car and drove down to pacifica. 

my little poser

my new fav picture of lola!

sunday: we spent Easter in Sonoma. I love the drive over the golden gate bridge and since we joined the wine club we promised we'd head up to wine country more often. I packed us a picnic and it was pretty much the perfect afternoon. Plus who says no to wine? 

Told you we spent our entire weekend outside! Wouldn't of spent it any other way. No complaints here! Yay!

And on a completely random other note: I am soooooo so so so ecstatic-- I finally found a salon & a stylist I love. Yep. happy girl here. 

oxx & pretty weather
