dinner party!







remember a while back i told you about an incredible dinner party/photo shoot with rue magazine? well here it is!

where: my darling (and beautiful) friend annette's gobsmacking home
what: dinner party featured in rue's issue 3 pg. 118 for whole story
photography: the amazing our labor of love

i felt so honored that sam and i were invited to this fancy fete. look our hostess gift even made the cut! sam looked so dapper and we had such a great night meeting new friends like julie and her husband and i always love spending time with annette's girls: ginny and natalie. they are some of the nicest girls you'll ever meet. we laughed all through dinner because annette has funny/awesome friends. the uber talented ashley meaders was on hand and cute as a button, as was the ultra-chic anne sage. anne is lovely, driven, and her creativity and enthusiasm is contagious. it was a fabulous evening with incredible food (can you tell i enjoyed my salad?!)and i would expect nothing less from these super stars. go check out rue's latest issue here!

I saw the new edition of Rue today and my favorite piece was on this dinner party! Wow. I feel as if I now have some sort of "backstage pass." ;) I was drooling over the hostess gift. What a beautiful presentation! So happy I have found your blog! xo Samantha
