happy friday, loves! i am still sick (boo!) and have been blowing my nose and coughing and all of that good stuff for days now. hopefully i'll be feeling better soon, but for now - here are some sweet snapshots from earlier this week. enjoy!
we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful area - and i am so lucky to have such a dreamy boyfriend! have a lovely weekend!
i just wanted to post a couple of sweet photos that courtney took of my dreamboat and me. he got to wear his new j.crew ludlow suit and he looked so handsome in it... i'm such a lucky lady!
(ps - do you like the new signature stamp?)
here are just a few snapshots from paul & amanda's wedding on saturday. their wedding was so personal to them as a couple - from the invitations and soundtrack to the favors and centerpieces. redbones catered (if you live in greater boston and like bbq, you must go to redbones!) and amanda's aunt made the cakes (which were delicious). here are a couple of detail shots from their beautiful day - enjoy!

as i may or may not have mentioned, my lovely friends seth & isis are getting married in late august. it's going to be a gorgeous wedding, i'm sure, as isis has impeccable taste in, oh, everything. i have the honor of being asked to be a bridesmaid which is especially wonderful because it's my first time officially being in a wedding! i am very excited and today is the bachelorette party... before we party, though, we're going to go look at bridesmaid dresses. so fun! in honor of the occasion, this week's friday faves is a bridal party inspiration board. enjoy!

at the beginning of the week we had the pleasure of seeing our friends seth & isis play a show at a beautiful local venue called sanctuary arts. seth and isis are so incredibly talented and it's always a wonderful occasion when we get to see them perform. i wanted to take a moment to share this video (which, fyi, was taken by joey pratt and not by me!) because i love it (like everything else they do!) and i'm pretty sure you will, too.
hello, hello, hello. did you love the picnic post? i really hope so! i love love love date night because it's a pretty nice excuse to get all gussied up! (let's be honest, though, those of you who know us know that neither the dream nor i need much of an excuse to get dressed up). in the spirit of that post, i decided to create a couple's dreamy outfit post, and i did all of my "shopping" in the sale section of jcrew.com!
for her
1 vivette dress, $69.99
2 cashmere shawl cardigan, $129.99
3 indio pursette, $129.99
4 crystal trio ring, $24.99
5 quorra high heel oxfords, $119.99
6 crystal wildfire necklace, $59.99
7 crystal petal ring, $39.99
for him
1 baird mcnutt linen camp shirt, $49.99
2 herringbone linen vest, $99.99
3 levi's 511 jean in rinsed indigo, $79.99
4 sperry topsiders, $120
5 herringbone linen sportcoat, $279.99
6 rugged boot laces, 2 for $6
the things i love about this for her look are as follows: mustard paired with navy is one of my favorite color combinations at the moment. i can't even handle a sweet, feminine dress paired with oxfords or booties - it's an impossibly perfect coupling. i love the raw edged silk on the bodice of the dress paired with big costume jewels and the geometric bib necklace plays perfectly against the gentle shawl collar of the cardigan.
the things i love about this for him look are as follows: brown and blue paired together, the casual feel of a gingham linen shirt and jeans balancing the formality of both a vest and suit jacket. topsiders are such a wonderful summer shoe and i love the idea of lacing them with colored laces. also, can i just say - these are the jeans that my dreamboat actually wears and dang do they make his cakes look fantastic!
hello sweetie baby darlings! hope you all had a great weekend and a lovely start to your week! i worked all day yesterday (hence no blog posts) and monday is actually my friday since i have tuesdays and wednesdays off from work so the dream and i decided to celebrate the start of the "weekend" (as well as the gorgeous weather) by having a picnic dinner!
we are super lucky to live where we do... we live a stone's throw away from the water and around the corner from our house is a beautiful park on a little peninsula which is where we decided to eat. we bought yummy treats at the health food store after i got out of work and walked over to have dinner in the grass.
perfect picnic setting!
dreamy boyfriend with delicious sesame beet salad!
we are both total suckers for beets... delicious AND gorgeous.
nom nom nom
... yes, it is absolutely as delicious as you think it would be.
... and pie happened.

oh. hi!
pretty anthropologie headband!
date nights are so much fun - especially when you get to have some serious alone time with your sweetie! there's something to be said for sitting alone in a field of grass with the person you're smitten with sharing delicious foods and stealing kisses. what's your favorite way to spend date night?
yesterday was a very exciting day for me - i got my first professional haircut in a salon since my beautiful mermaid hair was chopped off into a very dramatic asymmetrical 'do...

hello and good morning from the land of peaches & dream! i just wanted to write a warm little welcome photo post to introduce ourselves. i (julia - aka peach) will be the one mostly maintaining this blog, jake, my lovely dreamboat, will pop up here and there. this will soon be peachesndream.com!
what i want more than anything is to create a blog that covers our entire lives - from music and food to style and home improvement. i do a lot of diy projects and crafting. dream writes and plays a lot of beautiful music. he cooks delicious food. we both love thrifting. you will also see a little white pup around here from time to time - her name is noodle and we love her so very, very much.
without further ado, some photos. maybe this will help you to get to know us a bit! enjoy.
sharing headphones in the park last summer!
