Wedding Candy.
Pinterest + an upcoming wedding = ADDICTION. Blogs like Style me Pretty and Green Wedding Shoes are like candy to the coke addict. Even my mother is addicted. Yikes. But I do promise not to make this blog full of wedding shenanigans. You can follow me on Pinterest for that ;)
Now if I could just snap my fingers and everything I pinned would turn to life.

Summertiiiiiiime&#8230;when the livin&#8217;s easy
Inspired by this post on Cupcakes and Cashmere, I&#8217;ve decided to make my own list of &#8220;summer rules&#8221; aka a list of what I want to do during Seattle&#8217;s 8 weeks of summer.
1. Go lighter&#8230;as in my hair.
2. Visit a berry farm or go apple-picking.
3. San Juan Islands.
4. Check out the new Seattle ferris-wheel and Chihuly Garden and Glass.
5. Get our e-shoot done.
6. Have a beach BBQ and bonfire at Golden Gardens.
7. Row a canoe around Lake Washington (this time I&#8217;ll bring Justin).
8. Visit Mount Rainier National Park and do one of these hikes.
9. Portland or Vancouver trip.
10. Soak up as much sun and drink as many patio cocktails as possible!

anchovy + egg + parmesan crostini
Tried to re-create this bite that we had at a wine shop in Florence.
Recipe:
Lightly toast baguette slices in the oven to make crostini
Top crostini with an anchovy, slice of a hard-boiled egg, shaved parmesan and parsley (fresh or dried)
Drizzle a little bit of olive oil on top
So simple and so good with a glass of wine!

 I love this blog that Kate Spade did on &#8220;Mom Always Said&#8230;&#8221;
Some of the greatest and craziest things my mom has told me I will never forget. She&#8217;s the best.
