• Is it just me, or do birthdays have that sort of hazy quality you experience after pulling an all-nighter? I've always felt that way! I couldn't tell you why, but they have an almost dream-like quality to me! 🎂 Today's my birthday, and I am so looking forward to a fresh new year! We started it off right with a breakfast in bed, then next up is getting ornaments onto the tree, and then cookie decorating with girlfriends later tonight! I'd like to think that sets the tone for the next 365 days. Taking things a bit more slowly, spending more time with loved ones, and not fussing over my inbox. This is going to be a good year, I can feel it. 🎁 Photo by @juliepaisleyphotography, hair and makeup by @trinejuel, dress by @galmeetsglam

  • It's Nutcracker season: good luck, and God speed to all my #abbygraceballerinas! And ENJOY to all my friends attending performances! If you're in DC and in search of a fantastic production, my *very* favorite is @thewashingtonballet at Warner Theater. It's a can't-miss for any Washingtonian!

  • Twirl, Melanie, twirl!! 💃🏼 This duo was easily one of my MOST interesting couples of the year, perhaps ever- I loved that Melanie wore @tieks with her @misshayleypaige gown, that their ceremony & reception at @brooklynwinery were both decked with nods to their favorite literary worlds (like, ya know, the Hogwarts Sorting Hat), that their first dance was to the soundtrack of Game of Thrones, and that they were totally fine with legit SPRINTING through the park at sunset to chase the last rays of Golden Hour. 😭 See what I mean? Most interesting. And I love them for it. 💫 So you twirl as often as you like, Melanie & Keith! Because this moment felt like it sparkled with magic, and so did the rest of your wedding day! #thegoldenhitch
