four years

{ photos by Steven E. Gross }

Today, I'm celebrating four years of marriage to my favorite person. To mark the occasion, I thought I'd share some photos from our wedding that I haven't posted on the blog before. Tonight, Collin and I will have a nice meal, drink some champagne, look through our wedding photos, and inevitably talk about how much fun our wedding was. I imagine we'll also talk about how much fun we've had with each other since we've been married, how lucky we feel, how unbelievably fast the last four years have flown by, and brainstorm some plans for adventures to come. Do you have any anniversary traditions?

jump into spring with glossed & found

Graham Kostic and Caleb Condit, two of my favorite Chicago creatives (and regulars on this blog), just collaborated with an
über talented team on a really fun and vibrant spring beauty and fashion editorial for Glossed & Found. This behind the scenes video gets me excited for spring's bright pops and prints. It also inspires me to gather some friends to work on a group project, whatever it might be. Don't they all look like they're having such a blast?

DIY

We designed a fun, oversized hair bow for Glossed & Found and photographed the process. The step-by-step DIY is on their blog today so you can try it out yourself. Click here for the full instructions and here to download and print the template. For a different type of hair accessory, try a comb or rubber band. Or, try sewing your fabric creation to a pin back for a makeshift bow tie.

Nina Park Make-Up

Nina Park is an NYC-based makeup artist and an old friend of mine from middle school. I recently stumbled across her web portfolio and was amazed by her beautiful and truly artistic work. The makeup in these saturated images is especially striking and inspirational and I would love to see my collection styled in a shoot this lavish some day.
