I have a bit of a problem. You see, I’m addicted to paper products…and pretty much anything related to paper. I’ve had this problem for as long as I can remember, and it only seems to be getting worse with age. Paper, paper crafts, greeting cards, invitations, stationery, gift wrap, ribbon, gift tags, stickers, pens and pencils, notepads, novelty erasers, cute magnets - you name it, I love it. I started this blog as a way to share my passion for paper. Really, it’s just an excuse to enable my addiction.

jinsoo and i have been on a hunt for grey and yellow skinny ties. i've always had a thing for them and i'm so glad they're making a comeback! there's just something about them that look so cool. places we've seen skinny ties so far: urban outfitters, calvin klein, club monaco, + ralph lauren.

i like this grey suit with the grey skinny tie.

speaking of skinny-
it's 6:3O on a sunday morning & it's off to the gym i go!
uhhgggggggggggggg...

registering was one thing that jinsoo and i started early on. we sipped on mimosas and nibbled on yummy food as we went trigger happy at the wedding event at crate and barrel. since then, we've also started an account on myregistry.com for the miscellaneous items from miscellaneous stores.

but let's be realistic... koreans give cash. i've been trying to think of alternatives to the traditional korean money sack and the boring old card box.

kate spade card, carrie bike basket, + white peony wedding card box (via something old, something new). something similar to the now-discontinued the no. 1O mailbox would also look nice.

i got this from a friend of mine. i like it. it reminds me of a book i read in my social psych class a few years ago.

i'm not planning to wear a hanbok for the wedding, but i'm hoping that my umma and jinsoo's umma will wear one.

there's nothing like receiving packages in the mail after a long day. it's even better when the packages have korean wedding magazines in them! thank you hannah and kyungjinie unnie~

i sent this mini bottle of champaign to hannah with a "will you be my bridesmaid?" note. and she said yes!

we used to sleep over each other's houses and stay up all night just talking about our future weddings (along with eating ramyun and watching movies, of course). ahh, i can't believe how far we've come from those days.

for hannah's bridesmaid dress, i'm thinking ultra-feminine in a soft grey/silver color with a subtle yellow accent (shoes, jewelry, bouquet?).

it seems like i wasn't the only one who struggled to find a modern, lofty space for our wedding. see this post on boston.com

on top of all the wedding planning, jinsoo + i are also looking at a new place to call our home sweet home. loftsboston.com is one of my favorite (fantasy) places to drool over for amazing who knew these places existed in boston? / i can't believe people can actually afford to live here condos and apartments.
