I’ve been a little quiet recently because I am in full wedding mode. I am heading down to Miami on April 1st and have a lot to do before then. Getting dressed everyday has been a little boring because I am in a full relaxation state with a lot of appointments in between, especially this coming week. Most days I am wearing my comfy jeans (disclosed below) with a cashmere fisherman sweater, sneakers and my camel coat. We are so excited and very ready for the big day and the next chapter of life together. I have my last fitting on Thursday and then both the dress and myself are being shipped down! Ari meets me a few days later.
There is no better time than now to post this screenshot from 2019. Thank god for iCloud saving chats with friends. For those who didn’t already know Ari and I met on hinge. He was my first date ever! Another fun fact: I was really good at basketball in high school, made the New York All-State team, scored 1,000+ points and beat the record of most 3 pointers at the school. My photo is up at Scarsdale High School next to my one-thousand point basketball!
This was my outfit for our first date at Weather Up in Tribeca. I was interning at Saks Fifth Avenue the summer before my senior year of college. All Saints knit dress and Anine Bing booties I bought on TRR. Months after our first date I learned just how much he hated the dress. He was so confused why I wasn’t in anything tight or revealing (classssssic boys lol). I still get the complaint to this day but he has begun to appreciate the way I dress.
“me + you 04.06.24”
Ari’s watch came and it is a beauty. I struggled with the engraving because of the open back but I think it turned out perfect. I am so excited to offically give it to him on Friday afternoon before our welcome party.
