Monthly Archives: April 2010So true! Sending you a hug! Love it. I believe this wholeheartedly. x Here are the rest of the great captures from when my mom and dad were here for a visit! We stopped by the Kings Drive Farmers Market for some fresh produce. Delicious South Carolina strawberries. Fresh organic eggs. Lots of lemons. And Gabrielle took the maiden voyage in her Radio Flyer wagon that Grandma… great shots! love the city skyline. beautiful photos- love the one of you walking with your family in the park, so glad you were able to have such a nice visit with your parents (and Gabrielle is really changing- that sunscreen photo is lovely!) I second these comments. Beautiful Jess! just beautiful jessica…the entire post Thanks Jamie! Jessica….your posts are always so positive and sincere. Thank you for that. I love the first photo…what a beautiful moment. I don’t know you personally, but your grace and class show through. Thank you for sharing and reminding me that I need/want to start being more deliberate about capturing those special moments during the everyday. I'd love to know the outfit you'd build around this boot. These are two things I would consider. I love those pants Jess, yowza! I need. Hmmm…love the boots. I think a grey cashmere sweater dress with dark tights. Maybe something like this: http://bit.ly/ap9FpD Hi Paula – I haven’t seen them in person, but yes I believe that’s pretty true to color. They’re denim. How YUMMY is that!!!! http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/dresses/patternsprints/PRDOVR~23996/23996.jsp classic and simple. Think Jcrew, white button high starch shirt, mabe a tiny gold necklace and a khaki colored bottom, maybe skirt a lil short. Chunky afrian themed bracelts. Perfection! I have a red, flowered print skirt that would look great with the boot–I wear a white layered look top with it. Ah, never mind. I see they’re from Chanel when I hold my mouse on the pic. Sorry! Love this boots! I see a pink and white polkadot skirt somewhere in there. white skirt w/blue jean type shirt w/white tank top. but thats just me. I think they would look great with a floral dress! A flowy, springy one you can wear with the boots, while there’s still a chill in the air. I’m picturing something with lots of yellow. Leggings…sheer tunic, short jacket…..chunky cuff bracelet…. Just the boots This dress I bought last weekend http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat3000016&productId=prod5661208 Make the pencil skirt, silk blouse, Jacket Pencil Skirt? I’d love the boot!!! Dear Max Beaty, I just saw your pictures and notes on your mama Jessie's blog about your "early education in modern communication" and I wanted to send an East Coast shout out to say hey! I prefer iPhone, but we can still be friends. See you on Facebook! Love, Gabrielle Hi Lauren – Here’s the link where did you get your iphone cover? i love it. so cute…just love her! too cute! next she’ll want an ipad. I’m pretty sure they will look like a hearing aid and be voice activated…and unfortunately for us, the smaller the electronic device, usually the more expensive. hehe – too cute! I too love the Iphone. I thought my dad would get the hint when Apple payed for the computer I purposely destroyed to get him in the store, but sadly no. I just hope Gabrielle doesn’t leave me when she sees my cell phone is still mounted to mom’s car. Come see us soon girls, That’s adorable! Do you ever wonder…what will technology look like by the time Gabrielle is old enough to beg for an iphone? (Which from experience I can tell you will be about age twelve.) I'm on a mission to discover the best pizza in Charlotte – and today's trial was at PieTown. Started the meal with a field green salad (topped with oven dried tomatoes, parmesan, and balsamic vinaigrette. And I selected the pepperoni. Delicious crust. Bruna ordered the bacon and egg pizza and was surprised to see the… oh that looks good….will have to check that out…and you’ll have to do a post on how you manage to eat such yummy food and still look amazing..tips on your own diet and exercise program Wow! This looks awesome! I can’t believe I haven’t heard of this place in the 3 years I’ve lived here. I told Todd about it and we can’t wait to try it out! Here in Chicago it would be impossible to pick just one place to be “the best.” I am spoiled with a plethora of wonderful pizza choices. i hate not-fully-cooked eggs, but oddly, love how they look like that on pizza. it’s a beautiful presentation! I’ve been craving quality pizza lately – looks delicious! Jessica, Hi Jessica, I have read for a long time, but never commented- I also live in Charlotte, and my favorite pizza place is Intermezzo in plaza midwood. Pietown looks wonderful too though, I will have to give that a try! It all looks yummy to me! The one place that's always on our list to visit in Philadelphia is the Reading Terminal Market. It used to be for Rick's Steaks – but after they left the terminal, Jeffrey discovered the brisket sandwich at Tommy DiNic's and we've been going there ever since. To really get the full enjoyment of your visit,… I love it there! so glad its local. that brisket sandwich looks so good! Oh Jessica how do you stay so slim! Every time I come to your blog I see pictures of delicious and fattening foods! Then I drool all over my laptop… Sometimes you just need a slice of chocolate cake (with a glass of milk)! I found the ad hoc cake mix and frosting at Williams Sonoma and couldn't wait to try it. Everything turned out perfect – and scrumptious. And I love that they use the slogan "for temporary relief from hunger." I'm adding their… We're back in Charlotte after a splendid visit to NYC and a stay at the Ace Hotel (which was just as delightful as our stop at the Ace Hotel in Portland.) "Perfection can be intellectually stimulating," ACE Hotel co-owner Alex Calderwood says, "But things that are slightly imperfect have soul." Love this motto. Ace Hotel… I LOVE seeing all these captures…sucha a great montage here..wonderful post jessica Just wanted to say how much I enjoy the pictures on your blog. I love and am inspired by the way you capture and view the everyday things. Thank you. oh my! that photo of gabrielle looking out the nyc window tugged at my heart strings. so perfect and beautiful. definitely frame it. I’ve never heard of Ace Hotel till now. We stayed at the W last month but I think we are ready to try something different. Besides, being on 29th is much closer to Soho, Greenwich Village and Little Italy. I adore Woody Allen, what an incredible trip and so cool for Ms. Gabrielle to get to have experiences like these throughout her life. You make a lovely family! Hi Cheryl, Where did you get the perfect challah? Sounds like an incredible trip. I love how you share the places, the sights, the food, etc. with us, especially since I still have yet to visit NYC, but now I have new places there I would like to see. "Hey Mario Batali, my mom tells me you have amazing talent!" Very cool photo! wow…I recognized him instantly…the crocs..his signature for me at least..so cool and gabrielle right in the pic..how fun! He is instantly recognizable from the back! how awesome!! you can’t miss those orange crocs. i love him. NO WAY! I would have fainted. He is without a doubt the one chef I would want to sit in on his show…so amazing. I LOVE him. I’ll buy Gabrielle my favorite of his cookbooks and we can paste that picture in the front of it for her! Cool. fun! No way- that is SOOOO COOL!! He does have huge calf muscles. And, he’s smaller than he looks on tv. wow i’d know those crocs anywhere Is that really him? Cool!!! his calf muscles are huge! |
