oh you fancy huh

I love all holidays.   I rarely give up an opportunity to celebrate. but new years is pretty high on my list of favorites. sparklers, glitter, champagne.  ok.  i can do that. i do realize i’ve got a little under a month to prepare … but we got an invitation to an engagement party, and it […]

Love affair with Loafers

i got to meet with my first bride today! yippee. i’ve got an ear infection though, which is not fun, not fun at all. it’s given me time to hunt down my perfect loafers.  really meaningful stuff around here. the ones that got away. . . this happens maybe twice a year.  I obsess over […]

Yesterday our neighbor came over with a big basket of fresh veggies. I love her already. And since many have asked for a few pictures around the house … here you go. the lime and orange tree! these tropical flowers from our backyard. This is an old mirror i spray painted design master’s robins egg […]

snippets from thanksgiving 2011

thanksgiving this year was one of my favorites. here’s why: we started off the week celebrating my parents 37th wedding anniversary. i met up for shopping with my mom and sister, where all three of us had {unbeknownst to the others} worn navy stripes. we looked like ridiculous triplets. being silly with my sister wearing […]

Thankful 2011

this year i am thankful for: cotton candy colored sunrises and sunsets pen pals in Switzerland snuggles the simple pleasure of a hot shower and a cold drink of water JB caught fish (free dinners!) baked apples … so so yum. tomatoes. nom nom nom. ocean waves being home for thanksgiving faith, family, friends. love! […]

i’d rather have peonies on my table …

than diamonds on my neck. any.day.of the week. i have a peony obsession. you might have noticed on this blog… thought i’d pull all my fave peonies into one post. so much prettiness. {vienna 2010} {zurich 2010} {basel 2010} {solingen germany 2010} {basel 2011} {the vitra house in germany, 2011} {colmar, france, 2011} {bern 2011} […]

3 adventures of our first year abroad…

some favorite euro moments #1 Leyman, France we had been living in switzerland for two weeks.  we figured why not hike to france and up to their castle.  while that was super fun (also exhausting) we did work up an appetite.  We walked into a place where not a soul knew english.  oh joy.  we […]

Wake Forest

surprise! we were in charlotte this past weekend. for one of our closest friends surprise birthday party.  it was a success! yay! we also were able to see other friends  {and their cute babies}, and visit JB’s alma mater. Wake Forest. Which basically looks like a country club for smart people. and cute dressing girls. […]

walks through desoto

hear, hear. walking with your momma is the best. sun-up or sundown works for me. have you called your momma today? or someone who feels like momma to you? you should …

A little more lago di como…

In my haste leaving switzerland I didn’t post much about our lake como trip other than the incredibly gorgeous C&C wedding. ahhhh, italy.  my jb can take me back anytime  …   ( ; {to sail lake como} {take me inside here … even though i’m not sure where it will lead} {this bench wouldn’t […]

Fontana Avenue

{j.crew striped shirt, h&m shorts anthropologie rose quartz necklace, express earrings, bcbg nude heels, authentic panama hat, michael kors tortoise watch} {photos courtesy of Shannon Kirsten – more on Photo Safari} I bought these shorts on the Champs Elsees in Paris … in an h&m.  Somehow that makes them a bit more fancy than my […]

had to share . . .

Watch live streaming video from facebookguests at livestream.com i’ve never watched much Oprah.  And maybe you’re like me and haven’t either.  But in this video she says a ton of powerful truths.  enjoy!

My Favorite Dress

in the history of ever. {and that’s a lot of dresses!} is my MOH dress by Camilyn Beth!   {c/o camilyn beth, BCBG nude heels, michael kors tortoise watch:  Photos c/o Shannon Kirsten} I feel like a little princess in this dress.  there is something so grace kelly about it, don’t you think? I adore […]

What I Wore || Shabby Apple || Spanish Steps

{spanish steps dress c/o shabby apple, bcbg nude shoes, tortoise michael kors watch – a christmas gift from my brother, and express earrings} Shabby Apple sent me the Spanish Steps Dress.  Right when I arrived home from Switzerland last month, it was waiting for me.  I love presents!  particularly when they are pretty dresses in […]

Blossom for a day …

{wearing Ann Taylor dress, H&M baubles, express earrings, authentic Panama Hat (similar here), BCBG nude pumps} I always feel like Blossom when I wear a hat.  Remember that show?  It was good! {…. I just lost everyone that was born in the 90’s … } But the panama hat is perfect.  Even if it is […]

roscoe

{wearing my swagg} long walks are my fave.  i prefer the beach.  but banyan tree lined streets will do too. i’m convinced people get divorced these days because they stop taking walks together. ok ok, maybe not just because of the walks – but i think it helps anyones relationship. and isn’t Roscoe cute? a […]

unlikely creative

I’ve been thinking about how we take on roles that we’re given. labels people give you, the ones you give yourself …  and sometimes labels can really put you in a box.  for most of my life i’ve been a little too serious to ever think i had a couple different labels going for me. […]

| Grocery List |

I thought I’d share with y’all what a typical grocery list is for me.   {At the request of someone on my formspring} This is what you’ll typically find inside my fridge and pantries.   I eat to get energy, feel good, but also for pleasure.  I always allow treats here and there – usually […]
