berrylicious summer fruit and cheese bites

Can we discuss the cheese counter and what a whirlwhind of fear, confusion, and excitement it strikes in my chest?

So many cheeses, so little time, and so little money.

How’s a girl to know whether the $25/pound taleggio is tastier than the $24/pound brie?

Between the blouse and the petticoat and ALL THE SAFETY PINS…I’m going to need someone to follow me around the whole night to make sure I stay tucked in in all the right places. Especially because I have a feeling the.boy’s goal is going to be to untuck me in all the wrong places.
