Five fashions under $50 are my fave
// 0 Comments
I put together five summery fashion faves all under $50. Check it out on Fashion Under $100.
A grandpa that always has a twinkle in his eye is my fave
June 29, 2010 // 0 Comments
My family recently threw a 90th birthday party for my grandpa. When he entered the room (in a suit!) everybody applauded. I wouldn’t have found that unusual if it wasn’t his birthday. He’s just that kind of guy.
One of my contributions was making pins using various photos of the birthday kid for the family to wear. I just got the reusable pins at Michaels and inserted photos. I think this idea could translate really well for all kinds of celebrations and would be especially cute for a kids birthday party. Who wouldn’t love wearable photos of themselves?
A party where cowboy boots would be acceptable is my fave

My fave part of this scene is surprisingly not the bunting. It’s the table cloths. I have a new thing for linens.
(I was just about to put ruh roh after that last sentence but then realized it would be completely annoying and I would lose friends.)
North by Northwest is my fave
// 0 Comments
After watching North by Northwest again this weekend (so genius) we booked a hotel five miles from Mount Rushmore. I hope you can climb on the faces with a Cary Grant look alike. Eeek, I’m so excited.
Giving a watermelon a little tappity tap is my fave

Thanks to my friend who shared this idea with me, all of my summer beverages will have a little added watermelon flavor. So much cooler than the straw in the orange idea.
Congrats to Crystal, the winner of the Chinny LuLu giveaway.
Have the most pleasant of weekends.
First day of summer parties are my fave

the demolished table
my biggest fans (I let them eat fists full of jimmies)
me realizing the 6 quarts of homemade ice cream was gone and pulling out the generic replacement
Last week I realized the official first day of summer was approaching quickly and I couldn’t just let it pass without some type of celebration. Luckily my friend with the cutest outdoor space (hello picket fence and breezeway) jumped on board and I spent the weekend making ice cream and gathering toppings. It was probably one of the most simple parties I’ve done but one of the most successful. I guess if you put out a bowl of gummy bears and a carafe of hot fudge, your fan base quickly grows. Hello summer. Thanks for coming my way.
Oh, and we didn’t happen to snap photos until the table had been completely attacked. It was originally much prettier. And that hot fudge is still in my fridge being drunk for breakfast.
Wildflower gardens are my fave

I love when gardens are slightly wild and just a scatter of flowers. These are a few I see on my daily run that make it a little more pleasant.

My summer uniform is my fave
June 22, 2010 // 0 Comments
Let me be the first to tell you, stripes* and pale arms are all the rage this season.
*Don’t you love when bloggers state the obvious then claim they’re the ones starting the trend? Silly bloggers, everyone knows it’s Michael Kors and Nina Garcia who set the trends.
Update
1. dress – Simplicity pattern 2922 (my mom made it!), belt – Anthropologie
2. dress – Target, belt – Urban Outfitters
3. dress and cardigan – Old Navy
