My “summer of love” continues. I am sure you are all very tired of me droning on about this, I myself am tired of talking about it. But I sure am enjoying the ride.

This will be wedding #3 in as many weeks. We are sort of getting the hang of this – having the times of our lives each weekend with all of our good friends is a good routine. Its the waking up and functioning the next day part that is alluding us. Any tips?

And I forgot to add that this next nuptial will be celebrated on the beaches of Hawaii. Rough life, I know. Congrats to Danny & Laurie Beth, we can’t wait to be there with you!

Well, the Summer of Love is heating up. August & September will bring wedding events each weekend in:

Las Vegas

San Francisco

Palos Verdes/Santa Barbara

Oahu

Lake Tahoe

Claremont

Throw in a work trip to DC and I will never unpack my suitcase.

And with that, I resume my bridesmaid tour of 2010.

Note Hawaii is in there, so I am not feeling too sorry for myself.

Hope you, too, are enjoying your summer travels too xoxo

Valley Ho

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Heading off this weekend to the 2nd bachelorette of the Year of Weddings – Spring Training in C’s hometown of Scottsdale, AZ. Dreaming of that warm, dry climate, cocktails by the pool and some men running around in uniforms.

Can’t wait to stay at the Hotel Valley Ho with all my favorite girls:

Hotel Valley Ho was cool back in 1956 when it first opened its doors, before downtown Scottsdale was even downtown. I am loving how they preserved the mid century modern landmark. I am finding myself more and more drawn to the style of this era (er hello beautiful bar cart…).

Monday, February 1st, 2010

It is my “year of weddings” – I will be attending the nuptials of 7 good friends and have the honor of being a bridesmaid in many of them. Don’t worry, this isn’t going to turn into a wedding blog, there are a lot of great ones already.

But, this will chronicle my year of planning bachelorettes, finding gifts for showers and figuring out the best outfits to wear to the engagement party/luncheon/rehearsal/wedding/brunch.

Speaking of gifts, I love these rubber stamp address labels from Paperwink. Would make a cute gift for a new couple (only $18-22):

Hello Lovely Readers:

I will be traveling to Detroit (oh yeah!) for the very first time next month for A’s law school friend’s wedding. We will have about 2 days to explore the area and would love some insider recommendations from my midwestern friends.

And, speaking of Detroit…is anyone else watching Hung on HBO? I caught up on the whole season the other day, and I think I like it.
