Newburyport

worn on September 10th, 2011

On saturday of Boo’s birthday weekend, we drove out to the adorable town of Newboryport. Many people had suggested going there, and I’m glad we did. We walked around the whole town, had the most delicious pizza, and walked in and checked out every little shop we went by. Yes, it was Boo’s birthday. But I may have gotten a few presents. Typical. 

After a while, we headed over to the boardwalk on the waterfront and ate our newly purchases fudge. Just sitting by the water, watching all the boats, might be one of my favorite things to do!

We didn’t stop there! Theeeeeen, we headed over to Plum Island for a little beach time. It was a little too chilly for sunbathing and swimming (although there were many brave souls who were doing so). But we did have a little picnic, took goofy pictures, and even took a little nap.

And finally, the birthday boy and his cupcakes!

EBEW: Colored Pants

worn on September 8th, 2011

I really love colored pants. In fact, I’m surprised I only own 3 pairs. I’ve done yellow, red, and orange. I would really like some bright blue ones. Or maybe green. Or purple? Or maybe I should just get one in every color.  

p.s - I won this Loominosity bracelet from Ashley over at I Believe in Unicorns and I’m absolutely smitten with it! I’ve been dreaming up different outfits I can pair it with. They have some amazing bracelets in their shop. You should check them out!

p.p.s - when I went looking for the post for the yellow link above, I was reminded of how I used to go more in depth with my photo editing. I used to have a lot of fun with Photoshop actions, giving my photos different effects. All I really do now is adjust the brightness, contrast, etc. I’m thinking about going back to the more edited way, but I’m having a hard time deciding. If I do it, I want to commit to it. I don’t want to keep going back and forth. What do you think? Which do you like better?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOO!!!

Worn on September 9th, 2011

Today is Boo’s birthday!! And I wore this out on friday. 

theres a connection, I swear. 

Boo told me that all he wanted for his birthday was a really nice, expensive, steak dinner. So thats what he got. I made reservations at Mooo, and we headed into Boston for the evening on friday. Mooo was gorgeous, and incredibly delicious. Oooooooh, so delicious. 

We continued his birthday weekend fun with a trip to Newburyport and the beach on saturday. But more on that wednesday. Today, when he gets home from work, he will have cupcakes and his choice for dinner waiting for him. 

Happy Birthday Boo!

Seasons Change

worn on September 7th, 2011

Its been raining kitties and puppies lately (thats my version of cats and dogs). But I still had to go out on wednesday for another interview, turning in applications, and picking up groceries. Originally I had planned to wear the dress alone, but the rain has caused it to be quite chilly. So I reluctantly threw the sweater on over the dress. I know everyone is looking forward to fall, but I don’t want summer to be over!

p.s - I did a little tweaking to the look of the blog. Does everything look alright?

Shop Update

Just a few new additions to the shop this week. I’m still making more everyday, so keep  a look out. And the chain friendship bracelets I was talking about will also be added soon!

p.s - does that floral ruffle look familiar? Its leftover fabric from my swap diy skirt!

Catching Whales

worn on Septemeber 3rd, 2011

I only managed to take one set of outfit photos this weekend. We were so busy and having too much fun to think about it. So this is all I documented. We spent the day walking around boston and on the boat for a whale watch, hence the comfortable TOMS. 

I loved the way Ramsey wore her hair in this post. So I took one of my bows that I usually make into a necklace, and instead stuck a hair clip on the back. And voila!

In My Life.... With Friends

We had some visitors this past holiday weekend! My oldest, oldest friend (we met on the first day of kindergarden!) and her boyfriend drove out from Niagara Falls to stay with us for a few days. Some higlights from the visit - a whale watch tour, an afternoon at Crane Beach, candlepin bowling (!) and Amanda and Dan’s first Pinkberry visit. 

I Have A Coconut Purse... And It Has Dolphins On It

I took my photos in front of this building for the first time. And right at the end, a woman whipped open the blinds in the window right next to me and glared. Awkward.

A New Obsession

worn on August 30th, 2011

The other night, I couldn’t sleep. So I stayed up late making these bracelets. And then I loved them so much, I started going through all of my supplies and brainstorming various versions and designs. And then the next day I made Boo run me to Michaels to get more supplies. 

and now I CAN”T STOP MAKING BRACELETS.
