A Much Needed Update

So, here is our really crappy attempt to explain why we've been MIA for the past, oh I don't know, two weeks... 

Well. We've been thinking a lot, then not really saying much, then talking, and then back to thinking. And all this thinking is about a new direction for our little blog here. What direction is that you ask? Well, we're not really sure yet, and we know that's not a good answer, or an excuse... or anything really. All we know is that things are going to change around here and change for the better. We aren't sure what that even means yet, but we promise we're getting there.

So, there was our really crappy attempt to explain what's going on. We sincerely apologize for our lack of posts, but thought you all deserved an update. Please, please, please hang in there with us. And stay awesome.

July Travels

 

Happy first of July! Can you believe how fast summer is going by? In a way I am very excited that July is finally here, because for me it is going to be full of exciting travels and adventures! In one week Anna, her sister, and I will be headed to party it up in Atlanta (which you will certainly hear more about). And when we get back, I will have five days to pack up and get my butt on a plane to Belize. I'm so excited to be going back for the third time (holy cow!) and cannot wait to see what amazing things happen when I'm there. It's official, my June gloom is gone, and I'm excited for what July has in store.

Paper Crown

I think it's fair to say that I'm in love with this new line. Each piece is romantic, chic, and a definite staple for anyone's wardrobe [love, love, and love]. And I even love the description of it, "a collection for those who like to play dress up in a grown up world." Sigh, doesn't that alone just make you want to buy every piece? I had to limit myself to only put 3 pictures up, so be sure to check out the rest of the looks here.

C'est La Vie

Just thought you should know.

modern "mod"

Well I haven't been in town for the last ten days, but it looks like Molly has done a truly terrific job posting. Cheers to Molly!

Now to my first post in probably two weeks...

If you do not already know, we love Blake Lively (seen here). And our prediction that "she will blossom more in 2011" as a fashion icon is (drum roll please...) correct. While walking through a super busy airport, something beautiful caught my eye. Sure enough, it was this month's edition of Glamour Magazine, which featured the ever-stunning Blake Lively. I immediately bought it.

Her mod vibe seemed flawless from head to toe (to cute little puppy).

So a new wave of inspiration has flooded over me... 60's mod/glamour. What do you think?

Picture Perfect

On Wednesday I made a list of all the things that were making me really happy. I figured today it would be fun to add pictures to words, you know, just because.

The fact that it is officially summer.

The invention of sporks.

Pictures of Paris.

Really sappy quotes that I still fall in love with.

Guys named Bill.

Enjoy! And let us know what makes you happy.

Turn That Frown Upside Down

A few weeks ago my boredom and inability to go to sleep at a normal hour led me to one of the happiest and brightest blogs I've ever seen. Katie Sokoler, the master of paper and street art, is the writer of this joyful blog called Color Me Katie. She basically shares really happy things that she makes and sees in her life. What I love most is her fun and colorful pictures that serve as an instant pick-me-up to any bad day. I dare you not to check it out.
