What I'm wearing to back-to-back weddings
Also in here: should we bring back the Trader Joe's section?
Hi my dears!
Not ready to get fully into it, but I am in a rough patch. After limping along for a while, I’ve had some clarifying conversations with wise women in my family, and I’m making some progress. Will share more when I can. Thanks for being such a great group of people — I’m looking forward to getting advice and input from the Handpicked community when I’m ready.
Shall we have a few links?
today’s bouquet
Throw this in your cart immediately. Thank me later.
A+ for Rachel’s school supply roundup.
Photos from our trip to Lake Powell on film.
6 dreamy collages.
A snacking cake that doesn’t require turning on the oven? Witchcraft!
Can’t stop thinking about this “dumb phone” tutorial.
Kindergarten half days = borrowing the scavenger hunt trick.

You guys, have you ~listened~ to Pride and Prejudice?! Rosamund Pike narrates!
Nate’s best friend is getting married in the mountains this weekend, joy! Should I wear this? Maybe this, which I wore to my best friend’s wedding in June :’)
Next weekend my little brother is getting married!!! We are so freaking excited to have another sister. Audrey is a dream. She’s equally as tolerant of our, ahem, quirky multitude as she is beautiful, and most importantly, she’s the perfect match for David. I can’t wait to share all the details (especially her wedding gown, y’all, it is a showstopper). For now, here’s my dress, and I’m thinking these sparkly flats. Or maybe if I can be a grown up for four hours, some heels. Jury’s out.

Over the years Handpicked has had different sections, one of which was 5 things from Trader Joe’s in my kitchen right now (see here, here, and here). Should we bring it back as a weekly feature?
