The Weekend Edition

Happy Saturday, friends! We are in Mexico for the wedding of Paolo Contreras, a sweet friend who happens to be an up and coming fashion designer. Follow along with our Mexico festivities on Instagram (@carriec). I finally am giving Instagram Stories a try…

Meanwhile, here’s a glimpse at what’s been going on around here and what we loved around the internet this week…
