if you attended i am mpls, then you would know that it started off as a variety/fashion show & ended in surprise matrimony for two of the most inspiring people i know, congrats sarah & jared! even though, it was tough harboring a secret this big for the last couple months & being a part of the reception "committee" often ended in lots of sweat, tears - not to mention an abundance of glitter (jk), i was honored to have been a part of it all. love you both!

and naturally, everything ends in an outfit post on here: lionette by noa sade sent over this one-of-a-kind glamorized bolo tie for me to wear the night of the event. i've been obsessed with it since, pairing it with every outfit i put on - dressed up or down. thank you, lionette - hands down, my new favorite accessory. you can view a close-up of it here.

I AM MPLS.

sorry for the lack of blogposts, i promise after this weekend, i will be returning with full force with (holiday-related) posts. for now though, i wanted to share an event that's dear to my heart & produced by one of the greatest women i know (sarah edwards): i am mpls. in its' fourth year, i am mpls returns tomorrow night & once again we'll be celebrating some of the things and people that make minneapolis one of the best places on earth (maybe that's an over exaggeration, either way it's pretty awesome). 

come join us tomorrow for comedic performances by jenn schaal & maggie faris while enjoying food provided by barbette and rocking out to hookers $ blow and bollywood. proceeds from this year's show will be going to i am kindness. i'll be directing the fashion segment that will include clothing from martinpatrick3, motto, LEN, cliche & b.resale. if you catch me sneaking out from behind stage, don't be shy - come & say hello! :) xo
