Today I stopped by c . st. studio in Solana Beach to say hi to friend and photog Justin Lee and drop off some flowers for the new spot. Although I missed the studio's grand opening event, I got the grand tour and couldn't help but to feel like I had stepped into a hip nyc loft. If you're looking for a location to rent for photography, filming, casting, or gallery showings, this is the place!

Imagine my excitement when I came home yesterday to find my first gardenia bloom in the pot by my front door! Now, at the end of each day when I arrive home, I stop and smell the gardenia. What a sweet scent it brings. I'm looking forward to more blooms and their sweet scent being carried by the summer breeze into my front door and window. 

OMG!

One of the first things I did after I got engaged was buy wedding magazines, a lot of wedding magazines! Having moved to California from Rhode Island, I knew the first place to look for ideas and inspiration was the knot. See why here. These "knotties" chat all day about the details of their wedding day. Exchange ideas with local San Diego brides on the message board. Find local resources and view pictures of real weddings. Be inspired.
