Finally Home, As Mrs. Cavalero
Posted September 15, 2015 | Filed in LIFE & LOVE |
Published by

Tony and I drove home from my parents' house late last night, and we are still delirious. We went straight from Vancouver to northern California for one of my childhood best friends' wedding, and had so much fun we didn't want to leave... Which resulted in us not rolling up to our driveway until the middle of the night. We've been gone for almost 2 months, and married for 6 weeks, but for the first time, we're arriving home as newlyweds... Any advice on how to beat the bridal blues and savor the newlywed phase?View Article

Wedding Advice From The Mother Of The Bride
Posted September 11, 2015 | Filed in coffee with friends, SERIES |
Published by

My ever lovin' mama Laura Baria wrote this beautiful love letter to all the other MOB's out there! (*MOB serves as both Mother of the Bride or, on my darker days, Mother of the Bridezilla and, on my darkest days, Mother of the Bitch.) We didn't always see eye to eye on certain major wedding details - I thought a large portion of the budget should go toward making it look like Martha Stewart and Pinterest made 10 million flower babies just to decorate my wedding, and she thought a large portion of the budget should go toward inviting everyone she's ever met, and every celebrity she hasn't. But (thanks in large part to the men who love us), we made it to the wedding without killing each other. We both compromised. And it was the happiest day of my life and, I think, one of the happiest of hers (next to the day I was born of course. And the day my brother was born. And, probably the day I moved out of the house and out of her hair.) She writes below about her favorite moment of the wedding, which was one of my favorite moments not only of the wedding, but of my life, too. Mom, thank you for making my wedding dreams come true. I love you and I will always "be your girl forever."View Article

Wearing White After Labor Day

I celebrated Labor Day by forcing my loving and supportive husband to labor over taking pictures of me for the blog. It was one of his few days off, and Vancouver is just too beautiful a city to not vogue all over it. I don't believe in fashion rules mostly because I can't remember them, and also because I'm OCD and want to continue wearing something I love even 1) when it is no longer "in fashion" or 2) if I've already worn it several times this week. SO WHAT. So, a day after Labor Day, I'm boldly going where no proper lady would go and WEARING WHITE. Lacy, fringe-y mini dress white.View Article

Our Living Room & Dining Room Redecoration Project
Posted August 26, 2015 | Filed in HOME & DESIGN |
Published by

I've lived in our house since January of 2010, and fell in love with it partly because of its open floor plan and giant picture windows. But, because I've lived there so long, I outgrew my 23-year-old decorating taste... Which was primarily driven by studs. Studded everything. I called it "Old Hollywood Glamour," but looking at it now, it strikes me as more "Kardashian Glamour." The accent walls were a burnt orange when I moved in, and one of the first changes I made was painting them bright blue. When Tony and I got engaged years later, it seemed like a good time to make a style change to go along with this new chapter in our life together. And to lose a few of the studs and make it look like a man also lived there. Here are the changes we made, with lots of help and guidance from one of our best friends and interior design extraordinaire Amber McDermitt, co-founder of Spruce Design & Organization...View Article

OH BABY! A Major Misunderstanding…
Posted August 25, 2015 | Filed in LIFE & LOVE |

My mom's first question when Tony and I got back from our honeymoon wasn't "Did you have fun?" It was "ARE YOU PREGNANT????" I'm NOT. The waiter who served me sushi and two tequila cocktails last night can attest to that fact, and so can my doctor. However, something must have been in the air, because Tony told my agent that I AM, in fact, pregnant. Worse, he emailed my agent from my email account, as me, so it seemed like I was telling her I'm pregnant. It was all an accident, just a big misunderstanding. Here's how it went down...View Article

Budget Buy Vacation Romper

I've decided it's Honeymoon Week here on Heels in the Hills, mostly because all I can think about is our happy time in Bora Bora and I want to continue living in the past for just a few more days. I wrote yesterday about how hard we partied at the buffet and I'm not gonna lie, by the end of the trip I was only wearing one-piece swimsuits to serve as ocean-friendly Spanx, but luckily I was still able to squeeze myself into this romper a few days before we had to head home...View Article
