Have I somehow missed the boat on this? Did we know that at just 13, Ms. Martha signed on with Ford and modeled all the way through college to help pay the bills?
Also — that she was a total fox?
Sadly, it sounds like she had no idea. Here’s Martha in a recent interview with Parade responding to whether she knew she was beautiful…
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day and enjoyed the extra break if you had one. Thank you all again for all of your kind words on our wedding — it was so amazing to be able to relive the day with you all, and as time goes on I hope to share even more.
We took these shots between wine tastings, weddings, and a few bouts of rain (good luck on a wedding day, always) on our quick trip to Oregon that I’m realizing now was only a week ago… it feels like ages. Going home is always hard because I never want to leave… but it is always nice to come home to your own bed. Unless, that is… you don’t really rest.
Those of you who’ve followed along for a while know the whole story behind my dress… how I knew it was right, but then just continued to worry… because well, that’s me.
Like most brides, I obsessed a bit about the dress, shoes, veil or no veil, sash or no sash… but in the end, by some stroke of pure luck, everything came together in a way that I truly loved.
Can you tell I have Oregon on the brain this week? Pendleton and I have been friendly for as long as I can remember – even today there’s a Pendleton blanket on my bed – but besides a couple of pretty sweet vintage reversible skirts and a flannel or two I’ve never flocked to Pendleton’s clothing line… until now.
Well okay it’s been a few years of amazing now since the start of the Portland Collection, but every year just keeps getting better and better…
Just in case you’re still feeling a little weird about this whole white shoes before Memorial Day thing (not that you would… we don’t really hold any of those old-fashioned fashion rules sacred anymore, do we? … okay I did too) you should know that it is currently illegal to sell beer and pretzels at the same time in North Dakota; get a fish drunk in Ohio; or wear a silly fake mustache to church in Alabama.
There — isn’t that better? Now go mix some black with some brown and slap on a little black dress for your next summer wedding…
For shoes as good as this, it’s worth a little side-eye from the grandma at the grocery store.
(Or was that for wearing heels to the grocery store?
I guess we’ll never know…)
My parents never seem to age. I’m sure they have – that its my own aging that blinds me – but I swear it’s true. My dad has worn the same leather jacket, t-shirt and jeans for as long as I can remember… and he’s always been the one to introduce me to new bands instead of the other way around.

A few of my favorite ideas, paired for the perfect Easter brunch. Tell me, did you dye traditional eggs this year, or did you try something new? I’m loving all of these creative ideas around the web!
And I’ve pulled out my orange sunglasses because you know what? I think it’s just about time we all start to protest.
… even if it’s just with a pair of orange sunglasses. Happy March, all! One of these days we’ll see spring.

I’ve been so good, trying not to spend too much since we still have a fair amount of wedding debt to pay down… but shopping got the better of me last week (see as evidence: my new sweater and shoes).
It may be a bit of a hike, but all the way out here, it’s so much easier to snag the good stuff when it hits the stores (in other words… I love you, small town Target, and your designer collections too).
For that, I’d take a little longer commute any day of the week.
