weds-day: make it personal

I've been compiling the gifts for my bridesmaids for months now. When I got to the 3rd monogram-able item, I had to have a little chat with myself. Self, I said, slow your roll with the monograms. No one, save yourself maybe, wants to look at their name that many times. Long story short, I'm scaling back. But I do think folks do want to see their name a lot, especially on pretty things. Whether it be sparkly undies or a bougie candle, I will never tire of personalization.

Here's my definitive list:

Luggage Tag, $48

Tom's Canvas Slip On, $58

Leather Sticker, $55 // I wore mine here

Leather Pouch, $85

Crystal Undies, $45+

Catbird Silver Locket, $58+

J. Crew striped tee, $49.50

Personalized Wine, prices vary

Phone Case, $59

Le Labo Candle, $70

I don't know about you - but I want to order one of everything from that list for all the people I love. Bridesmaids, you have been warned: things will get personal(ized).

picture of the week

Good morning lovely friends! We made it - it's Friday, it's payday, hooray! This weekend we're back in the city after 2 weekends away, and we're looking forward to playing life catch up. Here's hoping the weather holds out - it's supposed to be sunny here and in the 60's! Wherever you are, I hope you have a great weekend, and here are my favorite links this week:

I've been scooping up presents for my bridesmaids, and this list gave me some great ideas!

Speaking of gift ideas - this round up is great too (and themed!).

Will you change your name if/when you get married?

I love posts like this - it's important to remind everyone that the blog world is not the real world.

A great deal on a sweet summer shirt, and don't these look like the comfiest beach weekend pants?

How to pair wine and cheese - what could be better?

All natural (and mostly cruelty free!) beauty products! I am committed to products that don't test on animals, and after browsing this list, I encourage you to try, too!

See you Monday!

xoxo,
