currently

reading 'valley of the dolls.'  i started it back in may, couldn't quite get into it, picked it back up yesterday and i love it!!  
also eating lots of pears and drinking lots of pellegrino's.  the little bottles are the best.

listening to ben howard.  pretty much non stop.  soooooo good.  check out his cover of 'call me maybe.'  go ahead, i'll wait.....exactly.

hanging out poolside in the afternoon.  we have family passes this year.  probably one of the best decisions i've ever made.

spending lots of time with this guy.  can't believe how big he's getting.  and coming to the realization that there is a time coming, and soon, that he won't want to spend time with me.  trying to soak up as much as i can.

eating strawberries on my salad.  why have never done this before???  my world is rocked.

running down gorgeous paths, surrounded by nature, thankful for so many things.
have an awesome weekend :)

prom shoes

lately, most of my thrift trips have been sadly fruitless.  except for day i found these shoes.  i kind of love the little bow in the back.  makes me feel sweet and dainty.  or like i'm going to the senior prom.

humble brag

but then really this is just a full-on braggy brag.  about a month ago, a very nice lady who edits the blogger portion of netherlands lifestyle magazine, viva, contacted me about featuring my mickey mouse rooftop photo in their next issue.  yeah, i got right on board with that!  she sent me a copy and i got it in the mail yesterday.  i mean, this is kind of big time.  and although i can't understand a word in there, any mag that features a pic of me in the same publication as zooey deschanel is alright by me.

and then this is just a wee feature in ny mag's slideshow of the week in style blogs.  no big deal :)

date night

so saturday night, matt and i drove to the big city (tulsa, oklahoma) to see bon iver in concert.  we had dinner and drinks first where i scarfed down one of the most delicious salads of my life.  then we made our way to the brady theater for the show.  the staves opened the evening, and if you've never heard of them (like me) you should definitely check them out.  it's a sister trio that hales from london with a smooth folky sound and brilliant harmonies.  after a brief intermission (and another drink :), bon iver took to the stage.  i wasn't sure quite what to expect.  like maybe some chill piano playing and some sweet falsetto.  boy howdy, was i wrong.  it was AMAZING.  full of high energy, synthesized goodness.  the theater is pretty small, only about 2800 seats and has great acoustics.  you could feel the bass and the drums pounding in your chest.  gaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.  it was incredible.  seriously, i very highly recommend going to see them if you haven't and you get the chance.    seriously.

van

this photo shoot is more about the van than my outfit.  and why not? it's flippin sweet.  
but this is what i wore for the bon iver concert on saturday night.  i'll probably share more about that tomorrow because i took a lot of photos and had loads of fun :)
