RIP Robin Williams
It’s a sad, sad day. Robin Williams was found dead in his home of an apparent suicide. This is one of those times when I’m shocked by how sad I can be about the passing of a person I’ve never met, and who has no idea that I even exist. This is also a time […]
Wedding Wednesday | Rhode Island Monthly’s ‘Engaged’
It’s [very late on] Wedding Wednesday, but I just wanted to take a moment to share some news with you. A whiiiile back (sometime in April, I think) I signed on to blog for Rhode Island Monthly’s Engaged magazine – their annual wedding special issue. Basically, roughly once per week I’m blogging all things wedding […]
Lust or Bust | Ralph Russo Couture Wedding Gown
Do you want to see the prettiest wedding gown ever? I mean – this thing is stunning. The way it moves is kind of mesmerizing… and it also took 3,900 hours to make and is so costly (both in time and money) that the design house – Ralph Russo – will only make one per country. […]

Sometimes Things…
{… I apologize in advance for this post. It’s kind of just a bit of a pity party, but it’s one of the benefits of owning your own little piece of the Internet.} Sometimes things are weird. Life has this funny way of knocking you down and building you right back up again. Honestly, […]
Good Karma.
There are some days when I sit back and think what did I do to deserve this? Sometimes I think it in a good way, and sometimes I think it in a bad way. Yesterday, I thought it in both ways. I got some news that, while not particularly devastating, was certainly not what I wanted – […]
