About 2 days before our wedding, Tony found out he booked a role in a movie shooting in Vancouver. Thanks to our friend and his "Hart of Dixie" co-star Laura Bell Bundy, it was a direct offer for one of the leads in a Lifetime Christmas movie, "Fiance Claus." And it was set to begin shooting just a few days after returning from our honeymoon. Best wedding gift EVER. My parents kindly offered to watch our pups for another month, so I could go with him and keep the honeymoon going. (Yet another best wedding gift EVER.) Tony and I first visited Vancouver last summer when he shot a Nickelodeon movie there, and we both fell in love with the city. I've written before about how it feels like a combination of home (Los Angeles) and my favorite place in the world (Lake Tahoe), but with nice people - it's a big city, but on the water surrounded by mountains. I would happily move there in a heartbeat. So, we were thrilled to have the chance to pretend to be locals for a month...View Article

In my continued celebration of Honeymoon Week here on Heels in the Hills, today I'm sharing the recipe for one of Tony and my favorite meals of our trip: The rice cracker crusted tuna with sriracha-citrus emulsion at LAGOON by Jean Georges. Think of it as sashimi encrusted in homemade Saltines with tiny chunks of sea salt, and a sriracha-citrus spin on In-N-Out sauce... HEAVEN.View Article
Tony and I are less than two months out from our wedding, and all of the final stages of planning are kicking into high gear. We just found out that Tony's schedule will allow us to go on a honeymoon, so we're having the most fun scrambling to figure out where to go (please comment below with any ideas!!) I'm still riding the happiness high from last weekend's perfect bridal shower (as I write this, I'm listening to the playlist my sweet friend Corey's boyfriend made especially for the party), and am looking forward to a weekend packed with All Things Wedding - we're trying to track down a tuxedo for Tony, and are shopping for our wedding rings tomorrow! Here are all the things that put a smile on my face this week... I hope you have a fabulous weekend packed with over-priced diamonds, beautiful soul music, unaffordable tuxedos and leftover cake, too! HAPPY FRIDAY!View Article
