We’re The Yoberts. Thanks for swinging by and enjoy what you you find!
Our friend Max really wanted to go hike San Gabriel with us this weekend - which, you really don't need to ask twice with us! Well... that's a half lie, leaving West Hollywood seems to be the last thing we ever want to do. Not for any reason in particular, we're just lazy. We digress.
Ok, maybe we’re not at that point in our relationship, but we did a little Black Friday shopping (on Sunday) for some wedding suits. At this point, as you know, we’ve been feeling a bit defeated by the suit industry. Cut to us walking into the Beverly Hills showroom of Indochino and being reborn as two wedding suit aficionado angel babies.
It’s official. We "tasted" wine and now we’re experts. That’s a lie. We still know nothing about wine.
Basically, we’re DIY’ing the rehearsal dinner (Re: 15K quote from the LA restaurant Eveleigh) and part of that process entails choosing wine for 50 people to enjoy for 4 hours.
It's insane that we're at the point where invites are already going out! Thankfully the cardshop in Venice, remember the one where the cheapest they could do for invites was 1k, gave us their handy dandy invite guide! It told us to mail out invitations roughly 2-3 months before the date of the wedding.
Call us old school, but printing and hoarding wedding related paper is amazing! Our love of this possibly being a byproduct of Corey’s days planning events at Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism and/or the tutelage his boss, the queen of events, now our wedding officiant, Irena, plan many domestic and international events!
We're planning our rehearsal dinner! Also, we’re still trying so hard to not get caught up in wedding traditions that A. Cost thousands of dollars and B. We don’t understand. That said, We love the sentiment behind a rehearsal dinner and it's a must have for our wedding!
Hacking things is so in rn. And thank god because we need a new dining table and our budget is less than... well, any table we could find online.
So here we go. A good ol' Ikea Hack!
Here we are. Green suits still in the Asos boxes waiting to find their way back to the UK (bye!) and still looking for wedding suits.
Well – that’s half true. We love green and actually it’s Cristian’s favorite color.
What didn’t work out so much for us though was using green in anything beyond plants at our wedding. Hold that – maybe this is a blessing in disguise – a March wedding, with a lot of green? Idk - See us below*
Oops! In true Yoberts fashion we are procrastinating something we should do.... with something we'd rather do!
The other day, we walked into our favorite lil card shop in Venice and started asking about wedding invitations and STD’s. No… while we’re passionate about advocating for sex-ed we don’t usually go up to strangers with our opinions about venereal diseases.
Have you ever woken up at 3am gasping for air? How about hearing Beyoncé blaring, begin to dance, only to sit down 45 seconds later? Been standing, minding your business when suddenly you realize you HAD to pee 3 minutes ago and now you're going to burst (we'll explain later). That's what 9k feet above sea level feels like. You look around and see everyone carrying on about their daily lives while you're like, "this is the end. this is how I die..."
Have you ever made last minute plans to escape town for the weekend? We just did! We’re driving up to San Francisco this weekend and have some packing and planning to do before we go. Corey’s birthday is on Sunday and we have some good friends up there we’ll be seeing.
People come in all shapes and sizes. And in the case of this particular person, that means disproportionately large thighs. Corey's not going to be involved in this post becuase he doesn't get stuck in pants before they pass the knee in the fitting room. I swear, if I stop working out and gain a few pounds, guess where they go first, my thighs. Or let's say I start working out a ton, first place I see huge muscle growth? My calves and thighs. C'mon, I'm even skipping leg day!!
No, not white tennis shoes, v-neck solids, or a bomber. We're talking about where you shop. While so many clothing brands are killing it at making old fashion new again, we think it's vital to have your own sanctuary to do the same. Yep, we're talking thrift.
It’s Memorial Day weekend and this year that means a cabin in the marshlands near Savannah, Georgia!
My cousin Kimberly is on her way up along with my sister Paloma to visit for the weekend. We're all on the same page that it's going to be a frugal weekend and we've got stuff to celebrate! Paloma just finished her last exam of junior year. And I have some exciting stuff I've been working on that's coming to fruition but can't talk about it quite yet. :)
We’ve been told by everyone we know (except our moms) that a wedding planner is a must. Well guess what? We’re not getting one. Take that, everyone!
We're Engaged! We're Engaged! Did we tell you... We're Engaged!
We wanted to sit down and write an exposé on the whole situation, but as we sat down to draft it... everything kept sounding so weird coming from us directly. i.e. are we now saying, "this is Corey is typing," "and now this is Cristian."
