If Mamma Mia and My Big Fat Greek Wedding had a baby…

Traveling with a a 15 month old is no joke, but worth it to celebrate Anita & Will and show Luca & Christena where our family is from.

We danced, ate, swam, explored, and successfully kept Luca from falling off any cliffs - while surrounded by lots of family and friends.

We live the meaning of “it takes a village” every day, and it was true this trip especially. taken in Greece by @yoitsro

We keep calling this our “Summer of Dreams” 💭

The days are long, in part because this little guy takes a lot of work, mostly because we’re having good old fashioned fun, and of course, because it’s summer and the days really are longer.

It definitely was not a vacation (babies are hard) but it is certainly a break from normal, a hard reset of our nervous systems and thought patterns.

We keep wondering why we have a such a happy baby and I think it’s because we’ve prioritized joy during this time, even when the news feels especially grim and this tiny person is screaming at the top of his lungs in the back of the car while we’re stuck behind an accident a few blocks from home.

Though our leave has come to an end, we will continue to stretch the days of our Summer of Dreams - and continue to cling to joy as we enter new seasons.

(p.s. we finally hung that Karl Appel lithograph)

Introducing Luca Vaughn Kalonaros, who arrived on April 28th, making this Mother’s Day extra special.

All three of us have been living life in slow blinks these past two weeks, somewhere halfway between dreaming and more awake than ever. We’ve been bending time with a quiet kind of wonder, looking at each sunrise a little bit differently. It’s all new but somehow familiar.

Welcome to our world, little one. May your journey be as boundless as the universe and your dreams as infinite as the stars.

Endless gratitude for both of our mothers, all the mothers in our circle who have shared their experiences with us, and our incredible crew who has supported us from near and far over the past few months.

After three months we would like to indeed confirm we got married. It was awesome. You can read about it in the @nytimes .

But really, we just want to thank all 113 of you who traveled to Mexico to celebrate with us — and those who sent well wishes from afar. It was a joy to spend that time with everyone, to see our family and friends who feel like family get to know one another, to dance for literally five hours straight. And the churros…we will never forget the churros.

We feel so much love, and we have a lifetime ahead to share it.

Two weeks late here, but…

Came to Cannes with a dream and left with a Lion.

@Omnicom agencies took home over 175 Lions across the week for truly impactful campaigns like Missing Matoaka, Inside the Newspaper, and The Last Photo.

Winning Creative Company of the Year was the culmination of a week-long celebration of our brilliant people, our first-mover announcements around innovation, our deep partnerships with clients, and most importantly, the work. We spent the last six months dreaming up an activation that could support and amplify the collective excellence of our teams across the network, and to see our colleagues come together to bring it to life is indescribable.

And of course, we had a bit of fun… taken in Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity by @yoitsro

On an unreasonably cold day one year ago The Best Human asked me to marry her, and then on another unreasonably cold day we took these engagement photos, which probably explains why we’re going to get married when it’s unreasonably hot this summer.

Could not have asked for a more meaningful 2022 or better people to spend each moment with.

And for those who are curious about my resolution…it’s to remember to take the tissues out of my pockets before putting clothes in the laundry.

The polar opposite of fast fashion.

New silhouette designed for me by @jamesnathaniel.pina and made in New York. This timeless piece features nubuck matte dark grey leather, a reverse suede stripe on the back, gunmetal hardware, and hand-dyed cotton lining.

Local, sustainable, and created with the utmost attention to detail. A piece I will treasure forever.

Season IV, a collection three years in the making, is dropping October 21st. DM for details. taken in New York City, N.Y. by @yoitsro

After two months, I’m finally posting some flashbacks from France! It feels like summer has flown by, but during this vacation time was languid and luxurious.

Antibes was the perfect antidote to the non-stop action of Cannes. While dancing with Dua Lipa may have been a blast, wandering through a museum in the Old Town, sipping wine, stopping to smell the lavender, and reading books by the beach with people I love is much more my speed.

(but I know you want it, so swipe to the end for Dua) by @yoitsro

Finally back in NY and still feeling the energy from Cannes Lions a week later.

Two of my favorite parts of this industry were front and d center on the Croisette: the WORK and the PEOPLE.

From many first of their kind partnerships to conversations that go beyond just advertising to campaigns that have actually saved people’s lives, our @omnicom crew showed up strong.
