Setting The Stage

San Fran 2011

New House Old House

Lately I have been dreaming of an old house. My first flat in Europe was in an old beautiful villa and I just adored it. Luckily, my husband has a habit of making my dreams come true.

The big project of 2011 will be restoring and styling a villa from 1886. The house is just magical and I can't wait to make it our home. Many photos to come and I would love any ideas for beautiful bathrooms.

Happy New Year

From the sunny Arizona mountains. Thank you Wan Ting and Chris for coming to visit us all the way from Japan. What a wonderful way to end 2010.

Missing That Face

Newlyweds in Greece!

Wednesdays

Still enjoying the sun. An early morning hike, breakfast with girlfriends and then way too much fun at Lululemon. Each day is better than the last around here.

My Other Life

I do miss you Winter. See you in January... Until then, please be nice to my friends and my cute little dog. Today I wore short sleeves and summer shoes. All of my scarfs, sweaters and boots are just begging for me to get back to you.

Thanks for the photo Steph! I totally stole it from your blog. Our little city looks beautiful all covered in snow.

Yoga in the Park

I love Sundays around here. Laying in the park feeling exhausted, my mind began to wander. It wandered back four years ago when the sun was not shining so bright. Then I looked up and saw the American flag flying above me. Yoga in the park, the American flag flying overhead and Saks peaking through behind the flag. I love where I am.

Merry Christmas Erika

From my family and yours, we miss you and come home soon.

Behind The Scenes

Making it Ours

This was OUR wedding and it felt right, 30 foot orange carpet and all. The inspiration you ask? our FLAT and our LIFE.

**Please notice the cute brown dog sleeping on the sofa.

The Bridesmaids

Three blonds and one brunette. One missing and four with smiles on their faces and in their hearts. One with child, two with husbands and all with decades of friendship in our past.

These are the girls who signed my yearbooks, whipped my tears when I cried over boys and loved me as if I were part of their families. On this day, my wedding day, what a wonderful way to spend it; with the girls of my past. Girls who have grown-up into beautiful women who I am so lucky to have in my life. As I move onto a new chapter, I know you will all have starring roles. To the future, remembering the past, and loving the story.

And Then There Was Greece
