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

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
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
WE'RE MARRIED!!!!!!!!! I still can't believe it. Tony and I drove back to Los Angeles from Lake Tahoe last night, and both of us kept saying that it feels like we're playing house. We giggle every time we say "husband" or "wife." We leave for our honeymoon tonight and there is just too much to say and too many emotions to process for me to really write about the wedding yet... Plus, I still have to do laundry, pack and see if I can get my husband (HUSBAND!) to help me laser my bikini line (TMI!) So, I'm going to rip myself off and share what I wrote on my personal Facebook page yesterday, along with all of my favorite pictures from the days leading up to and following the wedding! BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE.View Article
Guys, I have two words for you this Tuesday AM: WEDDING DRONES!!!!!!!! Here is video footage of the dream house that Tony and I will be getting married at EXACTLY ONE MONTH FROM TOMORROW. And yes, there WILL be drones at the wedding... Because nothing says "wedding" like DRONES, right?!?!?! (I know I'm losing my mind. I'll come back to reality August 2. Promise. Thanks for bearing with me.)View Article
Four years ago today, Tony took me on our first date and asked me to be his girlfriend (he moves fast). Today is my bridal shower and, two months from Monday, I'll marry him. I'm the luckiest girl in the world. In honor of our anniversary, I'm re-sharing The Dateiversary Anniversary, which I wrote last year about all the reasons why I love him...View Article
