Good Dog

I'm pretty sure that if you read anything today it should be this.

The Dogs of 9/11

Move, Eat & Learn

Check out the incredible videos created by STA Travel. My personal favorite is "MOVE" but if I'm honest with you, they all make me want to pack my bags and go.

EAT & LEARN

...now go and book an amazing trip.

*special thanks to the Boy for sending these to me, they're perfect for daydreaming.

The 4 Seasons

First, there were 15 months full of this...


And then one day, there was this.

And now, we're engaged!!!!


A huge thank you to everyone that made our day so perfect - we love each and every one of you and can't wait to celebrate this special time.

Love,

The future Mrs. Riddell :)

Ps. I know this was a boatload of pictures and might have been a little cheesy so I'll limit this to a one-time post. I just couldn't help myself!

Summer Daze

Here are a few snippets from Summer so far. I will remember this as the Summer that I was on The Great Outdoors kick and the sandwich maker knew my order on cue (toast the white bread, make sure the cookie is soft and a small Dr. Pepper) as well as the season that I vowed to make my "working out" more enjoyable by borrowing a bike cruiser and hitting tennis balls against the backboard.

Or the Summer that Jake the Havapoo couldn't let go of his little orange toy, Dad got his AARP card and Brad planned more fun date nights. It's no surprise as to why we love Summer over here at Kristen & Co. and I hope that you do too. I will try to document more Summer moments and share with you periodically. Until then, happy days to you all!

(And a special happy Father's day to the greatest guy out there - we love you, Dad!)

Let's go Mavs!

Oh the things you have to do before you're a Nowitzness...

Room to Dress to Tote

I have had this decor picture sitting on my desktop for awhile now. Today I found myself doing some online shopping and lo and behold what do I find? An adorable dress and Madewell tote to match. I've been an avid lover of the black and white stripe for years now and am glad to see it getting some real attention this year.

Happy Monday, peeps!

Ben v. Noel

Special thanks to my dear co-worker, Leah Vee, for pointing me in the direction of this design gem. Not only is Keri Russell one of my all-time favorite girl crushes, but she happens to have amazing taste. Keri, alongside her carpenter husband and muffin son, took their 1800's Brooklyn brownstone from old to amazing.

My personal favorite elements are the neutral tones mixed with rustic elegance. From the tufted ottoman to the wooden kitchen, Felicity has done it again. It seems as though I only thought I had grown out of my adoration. But don't worry y'all, I'm not going to go all 2nd season and scalp my hair.

And for old time's sake -
