Countdown to Urban Cottage + DI Event!!!


Only 4 days until the Urban Cottage and Disposable Income Event! We are so excited if you couldn't tell.

Last night we went over to Urban Cottage and picked out our favorite things. On Saturday, you can check out what we love and get a discount on those items. I already ended up buying an amazing long cotton sweater coat (and trust me, there are at least 10 other things that I am going to get on Saturday).

The store is all decorated for the holidays and looks so great (this coming from someone who doesn't even celebrate Christmas).

We are also gearing up for the gift bags for the first 50 people. Each day we keep getting more items added to the bags. Some of the highlights include gift cards provided by Fifth Group Restaurants, a CD, and Whynatte Latte samples (A dedicated post with more info on Whynatte Latte is to come - but we LOVE them).

Make sure you bring all your friends. There will be yummy snacks from Aurora Coffee, Woodfire Grill, Bella Cucina and more.

Saturday, Dec. 6 from 6pm-??
See you there!

Urban Cottage Website Launch


One of DI's favorite stores has just launched its website. Although it is not set up for e-commerce, you can take a look at all the cool items they have for sale. I especially love the pinch pots and other unique handmade pottery by Carla Kaiser. She is a great local artist that does amazing claywork.

You should also check out the Invitations section to see the unique wedding and baby invites by Matt Berinato exclusively available at Urban Cottage. It almost makes me want to get married.

Gorgeous Wedding Invites @ Urban Cottage

So one of my favorite stores in the Highlands and a friend of mine teamed up to create absolutely beautiful and unique wedding invitations, save-the date cards, stationary, etc.

Matt Berinato is a designer who studied graphic design at SCAD and has worked in LA, New York City and is now a senior designer for TNT, TBS and TCM. I have seen some of the work he has done for other people and their invites have been beautiful. Everything can be customized and he has hundreds of unique ideas. Matt can help you with everything and has an amazing knowledge of design, paper, etc. and he is really passionate about everything he does.





His true expertise is type (fonts for all you Microsoft Word users). He has teamed up with Urban Cottage in the Highlands (Highland and Virginia- by Murphy’s), which is where you can meet, discuss and order all invites.



If you know anyone who needs invitations, I would seriously look into Matt Berinato- I think he is way more talented that most cookie-cutter designers and sure beats Swoozies, Papyrus, etc.

If you haven’t checked out Urban Cottage, you need to- It is an incredible space that sells everything for your home, gifts, clothes, jewelry etc. Everything is handpicked by the owners and is so well edited. I can’t go in there without buying something.
Think a cooler, hipper version of Anthropologie with lower prices. I just got a plate to hang in my kitchen with a little cow, pig and chicken- it is so cool, really kitschy and was ridiculously reasonably priced. They have a whole clothing/intimates/soaps/accessory area that I am in love with- I want to buy it all.

You can contact Urban Cottage to set up a time to chat with Matt.
