la belle mariée.

Coffee at Eataly.
this weekend, i accompanied one of my best friends on a wedding dress hunt in new york city. she's getting married in france! yes. i am good at picking friends.

all the organza, silk, tulle, ruffles, and sparkles made us giggle and swoon. i also took copious notes, and couldn't stop crying.

when it was time for a break, we stopped into eataly, the largest artisanal italian food marketplace in the world, and sipped cappuccinos.  

this was when she confessed... french weddings often last until 4 a.m., and as a bridesmaid, it is my duty to finish the cake. (okay, i made up that last part.)
the perfect weekend? oui. now, off to practice my french. xo.

    French weddings are supposed to be incredibly fun, I'm kinda jealous you get to experience one! I'm sure it'll be a great trip as well.
