The Pulsipher Wedding.

While I was in California, me and a few girlfriends got to attend the wedding of our good friend, Laura.

We all met in London last summer, and have remained close ever since!

It was so fun for us to be reunited and see Laura on her special day.

The reception was beautiful and of course they looked stunning. 

I loved her choice of colors and the "french-market" theme. 

(oh, and you bet the food was amazing!)

Cheers to the happy bride and groom!

I'm back!

After spending much of my summer traveling, I finally made it back to Utah. 

My trip to California was a blast (pictures to come) and as much as I miss New York,
it feels good to be back to what I have called home for the past 3 years. 

School starts in exactly one week, so my hope is to make the most of this last week of
freedom by being outside and taking advantage of the beautiful weather. 

Everything is so green and lush-- I love Utah in the summer!

I have been busy packing and moving into our new place, so bear with me on the lack of posts. 

Once I figure a few things out I'll get back on my groove. 

Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer!

From East Coast to West Coast.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately!

There has been so much going on that I haven't had a chance to blog very much. 

My mom came out to spend my last week in New York with me, so I have been busy playing tour guide.

Even though we had a whole week to explore the city, we STILL didn't get to do all that we wanted to do!

It seriously amazes me with how much there is to do in New York.

Here is a taste of what we did:

Patsy's Pizza

Brooklyn Flea Market

Staten Island Ferry and Statue of Liberty.

Anything Goes! Best musical. 

Antique shopping. 

Shake Shack. Delish. 

Top of the Rock. Best view of the city!

Brunch at Clinton St. Baking Company. Love love the blueberry pancakes!

Sunday I packed up all my belongings and said my goodbyes to my life in the city. 

It was very bittersweet, but I'm excited to get back to my normal routine of things. 

Monday morning my mom and I jumped on a plane and headed out to California for about a week before it is time for me to go back to Utah.

It has been so fun spending time with her and traveling around...

We have visited so many places and have ate some amazing food-- such a shame it is all going to end!

Hope everyone is enjoying their week! 

All good things must come to an end.

It's true. 

All good things must come to an end.

I have exactly 1 week left in the city, and I am definitely feeling bittersweet about it. 

For so long I was looking forward to this experience and now it is slowly coming to an end.
Seriously, where does the time go?

(the beautiful sunset on my evening run)

Even though endings can be sad, I'll be leaving with some great memories and great friendships.
I have learned so much while out here and can only be grateful for this experience.

I really couldn't have asked for a better summer.

Lately.

As of today, I have exactly 3 weeks until my time here in New York comes to an end.

I can't believe with how fast the month of July has gone by!

Even though I have already done so much here in the city, there is still so much I want to do and see!

I'm trying to take advantage of the beautiful weather and the time I have left to do all that I can before it is time to head back. 

Here is a glimpse of what I've been up to lately... 

(besides working, of course)

Lunch at Chelsea Market. 

Broadway in Bryant Park. 

Beach. 

Sleeping Beauty Ballet. 

Dinner on the roof with friends.

Sunsets. 

Free crepes at work for Bastille Day!

Mets vs. Phillies game with fireworks after. 

Evening runs in the pouring rain. 

Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

Red, white, and blue.

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. 

Bike riding, swimming, barbecues, sparklers-- I love it all!

I'll be honest, I was a little bummed when I found out my whole family was going to be in Utah celebrating this great holiday without me. 

There is nothing that I love more than sharing this holiday with them.

However, my long weekend here in the city turned out to be just what I needed. 

I was able to soak up the sun at the beach, catch up on some pleasure reading in the park, and spend time exploring the city with my friends.

Lucky for me, I have a friend who works at an agency that is located right off the Hudson River (which is where the fireworks were at). We watched the fireworks from their huge terrace (that they also shared with Hugo Boss Studios) and seriously had the BEST view! There was a live DJ playing all types of American music during the show, which of course led to lots of singing and dancing.
It was quite a night. 

How grateful I am for the freedoms we have and for those who fight for our country. 

Hope everyone had a Happy Independence Day!

(again, sorry for the poor quality with the photos... my phone has been my camera out here)

Life of the 20s.

Last weekend, a few of us decided to go to the Jazz Age Festival that was on Governor's Island.

We dressed up in our 20s appearl and danced all day long!

We ate baggetts, cheese, and rasberries as we laughed and enjoyed the live jazz band under the huge oak trees. 

I seriously felt like it was a flashback from the 20s, and loved every single moment of it.

It was a perfect day. 

Things I love...

City lights.

Dark chocolate sprinkled donuts. 

Naps on Governor's Island. 

Colors and prints of these beauties. 

Ruan Hoffmann's handcrafted ceramic collection.

The fact that Butter Lane cupcakes now has BLUE BELL.

Life is good.
