a little teasing never hurts

i know my photos are askew but its friday so i'm gonna roll with it.  also, i'm over apologizing for my bathroom shots.  its either me in the bathroom or nothing at all so i guess the bathroom it is.  also i don't know whats going on with my photos, they looked fine on one computer but now that i'm on my mac there are some weird spots.  le sigh.

on a side note, i successfully teased my hair into a larger bun than normal and it was a success.  i have no idea why i was afraid of it before.

but back to business.  i recently mentioned my pals and i had a little project we've been working on.  well, its official, we launched our online vintage store!  check out neon nightmare vintage here for some fun pieces.  this is just a soft launch so check back for loads of new stuff in the coming weeks.  you can also follow our blog to read about our favorite pics, crafternoons and other fun adventures.  you can also like us on facebook.

hempfest

well i survived another hempfest.  no, i didn't actually attend.  it happens to take place near my apartment.  while i had to deal with some riffraff no bonfires were set like last year.

this button down has become my new favorite shirt.  its light enough for the warm weather we've been enjoying but can take me into cooler days like today.  boy its hard to adjust from 3 days of 80 degree weather and have it be high 60s and drizzly the next.  well that's seattle for you.

i jumped on the bossypants bandwagon a little late (i blame it on the library, i was # 300 in line on 20 copies).  it was quite good.  it made me laugh and also appreciate snl a little more.  definitely recommend it if you haven't read it already.  

wearing:

top ~ polo ralph lauren {similar}

jeans ~ levi's

flats ~ steven by steve madden {ooooold}

belt ~ gap {worn here}

 

into the trenches

i'm alive friends!  i took a little trip to big sky country last week and left the computer at home.  it felt good to not surf the interweb or watch too much tv for a few days.  don't worry i didn't miss shark week though.  i know you were worried about that.

i know its finally summer in our parts but i can't help myself for transitioning into fall.  it is my favorite time of the year.  and what better way to transition than with a sleeveless trench.  who makes up this crap anway?  i was nice and cozy in the office but i was breaking a sweat come the walk home.  sorry for the bathroom background.  i knew this was my only chance to snap a photo.

wearing:

trench ~ forever 21

sweater ~ h&m

jeans ~ levi's

shoes ~ steve madden

i got home and realized the heel popped off my flats.  guess its time to finally get them fixed.  can't complain since its friday.  hope you have some fun things planned.

mellow yellow

hello friends!  i apologize for my hiatus on the blog.  i've been curled up on the sofa reading harry potter (yeah i finally gave in) and on the rare nice day here in the great northwest i've been playing outside.  sadly my camera has been left at home and the only photos i've been taking are of instagrams of food i ate.  but maybe you want to see that too?

i picked up these steven loafers at the nordstrom sale a while back and finally wore them.  sadly my feet were bloody by the end of the day.  crossing my fingers they'll be comfortable one day.

oh and i could probably stop traffic with that belt.

wearing:

dress ~ hawks by geren ford

sweater ~ club monaco

loafers ~ steven 

belt ~ gap

watch ~ coach
