i decided to break apart my last name into 3 lines. after you lay it out, it works best to hit it with an iron and a pressing cloth. but definitely plan on stitching down your letters, works best for longevity. </div>

NST Pictures was just amazing, I really can't say enough positive words about them and their crew!</div>

My husband and I were beyond lucky to WIN a full cinematic videography package from their summer/fall 2014 giveaway. Like seriously lucky. Like almost $10,000 lucky. Like memories for a lifetime lucky. So happy to have such a beautifully done wedding film (short). And to think, we still have the full length feature (25 minutes) to gush over (as it's currently in edit mode).</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This recipe is so easy to make, and saves you lots of caSh. For some reason chia seed pudding is always around $7-$8 for less then half of this recipe... if you can even find it at your local cold pressed juice establishment. Just think ahead and let your seeds soak overnight. It's well worth the effort it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 cup coconut milk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/4 cup chia seeds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 banana (this will make it sweet)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Living in Manhattan certainly has his advantages and conveniences, but one of the most compromised luxury of mine is definitely the space. It can be very frustrating and challenging at times, but generally all worth it end. I'm currently living in a 7-floor walk up (yes, you read that right) apartment bordering Little Italy, Chinatown, Soho & Nolita. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I look across the street I see Di Palo's Italian Meat & Cheese shop, to my left Ferrara's Italian Bakery, I can hop down the street for a super cheap Chinatown massage (it's really not that shady) or walk to the bank past a questionable fish market through a sea of Chinese people freaking out over $2 socks from a street vendor. What's up with that? And then of course all of your classic shopping on Broadway is just a few more steps the other direction where you will find things like Starbucks, TopShop & H&M. It's really is a great location with so many different identities! I can't imagine living anywhere else. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which brings me to today's post. Luckily my fiance is incredibly handy and he has the most innovative ideas when it comes to saving space. He get's so creative that sometimes I don't even understand his vision until it's complete. Having limited cabinet space he built a 3-tier shelving system with a pipe on top (see the last picture) to hang pots off it. Basically everything in our kitchen is visible so I have to keep it aesthetically pleasing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keep checking back for the rest of the apartment as I plan to photograph the rest soon.</div>

My first pie(s)! I was inspired by a pie recipe on <a href="http://thefirstyearblog.com/out-of-the-pan-triple-berry-pie/">the first year</a> blog but made a few changes to the presentation & filling. I love chia seeds (because they are so good for you) that I add them to everything and luckily it worked out will with the pie.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 cup powdered sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 tsp baking powder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mix the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder and salt together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut the butter into small cubes and add them to the mix too. Mix it all together with your hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add the egg yolk and soy milk in as well. Once the dough is mixed, form a ball, wrap it and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Not longer as it will get hard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat over to 350 degrees F.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Filling</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries (organic)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/8 cup sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/8 cup flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tsp cinnamon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tbsp chia seeds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Egg Wash</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tbsp sugar for sprinkling on top</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a medium bowl, mix the fruit, sugar, cinnamon, flour and chia seeds together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, take your dough out of the fridge and (if you're making 4 mini pies like me) section it into 5 pieces. 4 for each crust and the extra for your star cut outs. I didn't use a rolling pin for this recipe at all, I just used my fingers to mold the pie crust into the pie pan. I did add a little extra flour, but it was too sticky to use the rolling pin. Fingers worked just fine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Split your fruit filling into your four mini pies and flatten out your extra piece of dough. Using a variety of star cookie cutters, start cutting out different stars in whatever size you like and mix and match till you get a design you like. I got my cookie cutters at <a href="http://www.surlatable.com/product/PRO-1549484/Red%2C+White+and+Blue+Star+Cookie+Cutters+Set+of+3">Sur La Table</a> for $6. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After you're happy with your stars, use your egg wash and brush a thin coat on top and sprinkle with sugar. I didn't use nearly as much as the recipe suggests, but it's your world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now just pop them in the oven for 20 minutes, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
let them cool enough to take them out of the mold and serve up your festive pies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yesterday I went shopping at Old Navy for shorts in an appropriate length for a 30 year old to wear. Generally there styles are more 'work appropriate' then most of my clothing, so I figured I'd have good luck in the shorts department and I was right!</div>

Not my best step by step DIY tutorial, but forgive me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been out of the habit of blogging and made this back in February. But none the less, I'm back & am pretty proud of this! I'm so obsessed with DYLANLEX, I was actually going to buy the FALKOR necklace and justify it as a 'wedding expense', but they don't have a showroom and I found out that it weighs 1 pound so I had to give up on my dream. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always been a collector do vintage crystals, and have accumulated quite a collection, so once I committed to hacking up some of my favorite jewels, I knew I had to end up with something I would be proud to wear. I think I attempted this / reworked it about 4 times before I ended up with something I wanted to wear. I think the trick is the trial & error. I tried so many different arrangements and chain lengths and there really isn't an easier way. Each time I thought I finished I would wear it out and realize that in real life, it didn't have quite right. But after the third attempt, I tweaked it for the final time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a pretty simple concept and no two DIY versions will come out alike, but hopefully this will serve as inspiration for a creation of your own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Supplies I used:</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my total cost:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
probably around $100.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things I learned from doing it wrong:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Less delicate vintage necklaces & more chunky tribal necklace will make it more sturdy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't attach everything. The urban outfitters necklace is an independent, & I layer it underneath</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Try it on each time you add something to make sure it looks as good on as it does off</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I overclose my jump rings to make it stronger</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will take you awhile. Have fun.</div>

Wedding planning so far...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been engaged now for just over 8 months and I feel like I have a pretty good handle on things. They say the average cost of a wedding in New York City is $76,000 (anywhere else U.S.A. $25,000). I don't know about you, but in my book $25k still seems like a lot. But, at some point you just accept the fact that it's going to cost... and hopefully all be worth it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That being said, we're striving to spend more along the lines of the national average, but we'll see how it all unfolds. We definitely have our work cut out for us. I have plenty of resources in the city, so I fully plan to use them. But, being that I have recently entered my third decade of life, and none of my city friends are married or engaged, I haven't been given any wise words or friendly advice on how not to have a wedding in the city that costs a million dollars. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I'm really excited to share my experiences with you, and hopefully add some inspiration to your own weddings. One thing that I've realized is going to be really important for me... is to not bite off more then I can chew. I am well aware that if I try to DIY everything, my head will probably explode, so I really have to recognize some of the choices I make and think objectively if it will literally make me go crazy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing I am 100% DIY'ing are my wedding invitations!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/papersushi?ref=l2-shopheader-name">PAPER SUSHI</a> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that makes these amazing custom wedding invitation suites, that are stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You buy the right kind of paper and ink, and you have everything you need to print them yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it's perfect incase you forget a few people, you can just make a few more.</div>

These are my favorite new (to me) fragrances this summer & the concept is so absolutely genius.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The idea is to create an entirely customizable fragrance experience. I got #5 for my birthday, (which is a lovely intoxicating floral) but have yet to actually use the 'blends' as intended, but #5 is amazing all by itself. </div>

I cure each layer for 120 seconds, I might not need to do it for that long, </div>

You will also need a UV lamp but you can literally use any UV lamp to cure your polish. I'm sure some of them are less harmful then others, but mine is a simple one I found on <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=uva+nail+lamp&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xuv+nail+lamp&_nkw=uv+nail+lamp&_sacat=0">eBay</a> for $35 a few years back.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last thing you'll need is some silver <a href="https://www.etsy.com/search/?q=nail%20striping&order=most_relevant">metallic nail striping</a>. Which will cost less then $10 for a few spools. I just use my cuticle scissors (and try not to touch the sticky side) to size each piece across my nail bed. Then I then press down the corners to make sure it's secure with my fingers and then sandwich it between two layers of top coat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do occasionally get a small amount of lifting in the corners but I've sort of figured out to just add extra top coat. But it'll last longer the thinner the application.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Very last step: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use a cotton ball with nail polish remover on to and sweep across each nail to remove any weird residue and really make your nails shine. I know this one sounds weird, but I saw my manicurist do it and it really works without messing anything up.</div>
