Brass Watering Can<\/a><\/strong>\nBeen needing one of these for while! \u00a0I’ve always used the big pitcher one from IKEA but for smaller plants, it’s way easier having a skinny long spout like this to slow the flow of water and not accidentally drown the soil. \u00a0It’s an easier pour too with this construction, and the pretty modern shape of it is much appreciated.<\/p>\n
I had already flipped through the photos on my laptop many times, but flipping through them in print is a completely different sensation, one that had me teary-eyed while\u00a0thinking about our past and future. \u00a0If it takes scheduling photoshoots to remind\u00a0us to take photos together, I will be doing it again without question. \u00a0Cannot wait<\/em> to\u00a0add our wedding to our history books.<\/p>\n Beach Chairs<\/strong>![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/photo-album-2.jpg\")
Photo Album- layflat book<\/a><\/strong>
\nThis is my first time ever making a photo album of any kind. \u00a0I made a goal at the beginning of this year to take more photos of people and not just things, but it can be tough to remember especially being\u00a0someone who doesn’t like being in front of the camera. \u00a0I thought our engagement shoot was going to be awkward and weird, but it wasn’t at all (after we warmed up a little haha), and the photos came out so beautifully\u00a0that it reminded me for the millionth time how precious it is\u00a0to record moments with people who matter, now even more precious\u00a0to have them printed and in hand, and even MORE\u00a0in a gorgeous book like this that I’m going to treasure forever and show our future babies to prove we were once young.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/beach-chairs.jpg\")

\nThree reasons why we needed\u00a0these beach chairs. \u00a01) Low and comfortable seating for outdoor movies this summer, baby. \u00a02) They recline all the way back so you can lay down flat on your back, which is going to be great for the beach. 3) We’ve started going up to our super fancy apartment building rooftop that we’re not supposed to go on to get some sun while reading, and these chairs are perfect to take up there with us. \u00a0Fourth reason is a bonus I don’t like to do without: they’re pretty. \u00a0Happy that they were affordable too and we’ll be getting a ton<\/em> of use out these this summer. \u00a0Sadly it looks like they were discontinued seconds after we got them, but similar ones in different colors are here<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/cereal-guides-1.jpg\")

\nI got the one for Copenhagen in preparation for our trip and ended up getting Paris and New York too because these little books are so so beautiful, enough to be collectibles if for nothing else and they have great recommendations for design-minded travel. \u00a0You bet I want to go to Paris and New York, too. \u00a0These guides\u00a0tend to sell out\u00a0regularly and I’ll see them at a store one minute but they’re gone the next, so I grabbed these two while I was at a store in Chicago. \u00a0The only one I’m missing is London and yes, I’d like to go there, too.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/madewell-button-up.jpg\")

\nRebuilding my wardrobe has been a very, very, very slow process, which is the result of\u00a0holding out for only pieces that I’m 2000% sure about so that I don’t repeat\u00a0past mistakes that made my closet a mess. \u00a0I wrote a post a while ago on this and wardrobe minimalism (you can check that out here<\/a>) and noted that the biggest hole in my closet is casual work-from-home clothing that’s both comfortable and appropriate for when I need to\u00a0leave the house or go to meetings. \u00a0This one fits the bill and I’ve been wearing the crap out of it. \u00a0It’s from Madewell, surprise, which I shop there more frequently than anywhere else because their stuff so consistently works for me. \u00a0I don’t think the exact same one is still available, but you can see a shorter version here<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/foraging-3.jpg\")
Foraging<\/strong>
\nIn my top 5 FAQ is where I get my flowers and greens. \u00a0Most of the time they’re from Whole Foods, but for little arrangements like this with only a few stems, I forage outside for them, and by that I mean walk around my neighborhood secretly cutting bushes. \u00a0I think we forget or don’t know that this option is available\u00a0and it’s really easy to keep up with and costs nothing to do. \u00a0Just don’t snip from neighbors’ bushes or anything\u00a0like that (while they’re watching, hehe). \u00a0Usually when I walk along our street there are scraggly or broken branches of greens sticking out from bushes and I’ll snip them off (I don’t walk\u00a0with scissors all the time, only when I intend to forage). \u00a0I did this last month for a shoot because I didn’t need an entire bunch of greens, just a few, and it\u00a0worked perfectly. \u00a0Going to be keeping this up in the bathroom for my own enjoyment, yay.<\/p>\n
