and wake up early.

hammer pants and summer hats

DAI:

last week, eric and i went down to california to go to disneyland.
bonus for me, cause i got to hang out with my best friend for 5 days!
carly and i were really into our hats (which i promised to blog about here), so we took some pictures documenting them and some our favorite outfits. im not normally the type to document my fashion because most of the time, you'd see me in a northface/jeans/toms combo, but im making my debut in today's post.

i am always so happy with how minolta film pictures turn out!
and if you are into my princess jasmine/mc hammer pants, you can find them here.

here's to looking foward to summer!

week of mondays

DAI:

someday i want a cute mail box.
and hopefully people that will send me pretty mail.

(this has been a week of mondays. ew.)
today's been gray.
sickness, tests, and balancing work and life.
it's been a stretch to see past the rain and wind.
but hopefully i'll start seeing the sun shining through.
very very soon.

saturday, i am looking forward to you.

jmc

DAI:

this is my brother who just totally rocked my day.

um so if you ever want a blog written about you and how awesome and thoughtful and just generally freaking fantastic you are, here the formula:
figure out when i'm the most stressed and sick and miserable, then send me a text like this:

"hey! just thought i'd let you know that you are pretty much my favorite person ever (seriously) and i love you and you are super fantastic and creative, and everything you do is cool. it's rad that we are siblings [write this only if applies], and i love you. just thought i'd let you know...lol."

yup, this just in: i have the best brother in the world.

<3

off on vacation!

DAI:

good morning earlies!

last year at some point i was sitting at pdx early in the morning on my way to california to visit my bff carly. this morning is much the same, although i have a tag-a-long for the trip: my darling husband eric.

im so happy to be in this airport, which is by far the greatest airport in america. end of story. currently, i am using FREE wifi and listening to a live guitarist play me pretty melodies. seriously.
best.airport.ever.

in other news, i found these next few images on ffffound.com and couldn't help but feel inspired to dress a tad more americana than i normally do.


cute little cartigan

girly ruffle skirt

stripes

and a pair of classy flats

and i got this great hat the other day that would finish an outfit like this perfectly. maybe i'll get a picture up of it soon.

good day to all!

our first very merry valentine's day

so eric and i had a mini vacay this valentine's day weekend...but only sorta.

saturday:
no computer day.
so we wondered around the 500sq ft of our apartment for a while...
then i crafted and he worked for fun (but technically work worked).
sunday:
we slept in and then watched movies
while eric worked and i crafted.
monday:
eric woke up with a cold. i took him to work. i changed my name. (finally!)
then i stopped by my mom and my mother-in-law's houses to drop off valentines (and got some lovely daffodils and rhubarb bread in the process!) :)
then i picked up eric early from work. and we went to world market and got a whole bunch of lovely things:

(yes that is chili lime and strawberry champagne dark chocolate!)

(i just can't get over how pretty this pasta is!)
but then we decided we were too lazy to cook any food...
so we ordered chinese takeout. yummm.

and then we sat back and put on saraha.
all in all:
a
very
merry
valentine's day
