it’s been a long week here and as much as i love the holidays i’m glad to be finished with gift guide season. i need to shift out of “is that affordable? would it be good for a gift guide?” mode and back into regular weekend mode. so i’m off to meet ac for dinner at the restaurant where we got engaged back in february. i was too excited to eat the first time so i plan to actually eat something on this visit. i hope you all have a wonderful weekend and i’ll see you on monday. xo, d*s.
