can you feel it?

spring. she is a'comin.

golden

a few weeks back, my friend keith called me with a task: to help find a special dress for a special birthday girl. play personal shopper? who am i to say no to that!!! especially when it involves a few trips through some of my fave spots in search of something 50s, frothy, and fun.

thanks to the iphone, i was able to call keith and jen from the stores, and email them photos and measurements and such, and i am happy to report, the findings were incredible. so good, that jen decided to nab two. i'm officially jealous, and kind of wish i was turning 27 all over again!!!

so here's wishing jen a very special golden birthday party this weekend. hugs + kisses, lady. and don't forget to share a few pics from the big night!!!

dear fall

i love you. your colors, your light, your warm sun and cool air.
can you hang around for a while? i would love that.

the day was a busy one, that started out with a nice walk downtown with dorothy. a bit of window shopping, but mostly just a lot of taking in of the sites. this girl loves to face out in that baby bjorn and take it all in. occasionally, she'll turn her head up + back to look at me, as if to just check to make sure that it's still me that is holding her, at least that's the look on her face, pretty cute. after a while we met up with matt for a quick lunch date before we all headed back home to get on with the day. matt works at home on tuesdays + fridays, so it was computer time for him, nap time for dot and a nice photo taking session for yours truly.

and now i present to you one of my most favorite pieces that will be available in the big fall update.
a mint condition handwoven donegal tweed dress in slate blue with chocolate brown details. love. this. dress.

all in all, a great day. the icing on the cake? both kids in bed and asleep by 8 pm. amazing!!!

i just might do something really goofy and paint my toenails while watching dancing with the stars.

lookout!
