Oh Joy! Weddings

One of my favorite bloggers, Joy Cho, announced this week that she was collaborating with Kin to share some of her best wedding DIY tricks! With wedding season just upon us, many of these DIYs will come in handy for those about to be brides. They’re also just useful tips if you’re someone that likes to entertain and host your own parties. I thought this table number DIY was genius and so creative. It also doesn’t seem like something that would require a lot of time. Readers, what do you think? Is this something that you could see yourself incorporating into your future wedding?

This or That: The Blogger Pose

 

I didn’t know it at the time when I was taking this shot, but I was totally following in the footsteps of my blogging icon Joy Cho of Oh Joy! 

It has been several years since I read her blog for the first time, but I am still such a huge fan of hers and her daughter Ruby of course! I also had the pleasure of meeting Joy last year at Anthropologie in Seattle when she was helping them launch their Petites collection. Joy really is such a great role model for women everywhere and I’m having a great time enjoying reading Blog Inc. Even though I’ve been doing this for some time, everything that I’ve learned, I’ve learned by doing and by intuition so it’s refreshing to really dig in and learn from an expert!

The Chosen One

I promised I would let you all know when I decided on the book that would go into my office’s library soon and I finally picked one. However, it was by no means, an easy task. In fact, there was quite a bit of pressure because I also found out each book chosen by an employee would have a printed bookplate pasted into it with our names and the reason why we chose it.

So basically I couldn’t choose an inappropriate book like “Go the F*ck to Sleep.”

It was a tough decision for me because since I started blogging, I pretty much gave up books for good. Seriously, I’ve been reading “Lean In” for three months. I can’t even finish the thing yet because I, myself, just don’t want to make time for it. So I knew early on that I was going to pick a book that I haven’t read before. I chose Blog, Inc by Joy Cho not only because she is one of my favorite bloggers and blogging role models, but because I get asked often what it’s like to have a blog. How do you keep up with it alongside a full-time job? How did you get started? How do you stay motivated to write every day? I have answers to these questions, but gosh – Joy probably does it so much better. So I haven’t read the book, but someday I will. At my workplace, we really value learning and knowledge so I figured a how-to book would be useful to the collection. I’m excited to see what all my other co-workers will contribute to the shelves!

Anthropologie Introduces Petites

Coral Wave Shift – $168

Last night, I stopped by the Anthropologie event in Seattle  to celebrate their new Petites collection along with special guest Joy Cho of one of my favorite blogs – Oh Joy! I’ve been shopping at Anthropologie since I was 15 years old so yes, I was a little bit of an old soul, but that’s okay – I just look at it as getting a head start on enhancing my wardrobe. After taking a sneak peak at the collection and sipping on sweet strawberry drinks, I was hooked. Not to mention – I got to meet Joy, herself! Here are some of my favorite picks from the collection.
