sheer wild

6.29
yesterday, a lovely girl named anna came in my shop with an armload of clothes to trade. this blouse was among those she brought in. i couldn't resist the sheerness and pretty peter pan collar and sparkly buttons so i happily tucked this one away in my bag (perks of being the boss you know). and later i unfortunately (or fortunately???) spilled my lemonade all over the front of the shirt i was wearing, so when i got home i had to change. and why not put on my new blouse??!!!! hee hee. i love it! it's awfully scandalously sheer, but so nice on a hot day and to show off my cute little floral bra. i know, i'm so wild.

faux weekend

6.27
i really do love my summer mondays. they're kinda like extensions of the weekend for me. i get up and meet friends to run in the morning then go lounge by the pool and eat watermelon and drink iced tea all afternoon. can you think of anything better? i sure can't. and i'm getting such a delicious tan! i wear sunscreen (kinda) and yesterday i kept my hat and sunglasses on the whole time to protect my face. i'm trying to be smart about the sun but then on the other hand i just want to soak it up. it reminds me of when i was a kid. and then i ended my faux weekend with a glass of wine and some dove dark chocolate and etsy searching and shawshank redemption watching. awesome.
but now it's tuesday and my quasi monday and i have to work all day. and i'm tired just thinking about it. but then again, i own the place so it's not all that bad :)

friday funday

6.23
this is going to be a fantastic weekend. my nieces are coming to stay with us and we have loads of fun things planned for when they're here. they are 10 and 15 and this is the first time either one has spent the night with me! isaiah and anna (who is 10) get along soooo well. they are like two peas in a pod. both have vivid imaginations and love to dream up weird games and play play play. grace (15) is super smart and creative and independent. i just want to get to know her better before she grows up and gets tons of boyfriends and doesn't care about her crazy aunt in arkansas. (and yes i am the crazy one :) but i'm really excited for the girls to get here!
and i have been really influenced by tomboy style lately. i love that blog and the whole look and feel of it. it's such a comfortable and easy style and elevates the wearing of pants, which is one of my favorite things. i need to update my blog roll to all my new obsessions!
and speaking of updating, i updated my etsy shop with lots of fun things :) so check it out!

an etsy outfit

since i didn't end up getting an outfit post of my own together, i decided to create one using my current etsy favorites! i'm sure i will soon regret this decision since you guys will probably scuttle on over and buy them before i can rustle up enough money to do so myself. but that's okay. i am content to just close my eyes and imagine myself walking to the farmer's market on a lovely summer saturday morning and picking up my fresh veggies for the week in this. and maybe even sipping on a lemonade because shopping is thirsty work :)

midsummer

6.21
i took these pictures just before heading to our friends house for dinner. we had amazing food, good drinks and awesome conversation. there was even an incident at the neighbors house and like 3 cop cars showed up!! can't beat that kind of entertainment! but there really isn't anything better than dinner with friends on a gorgeous midsummer night.
and i bought my mustache tote hoping it would be in for father's day, but it came in on monday!! oh well. i totally love it.
