fashion tune friday.

I thought I'd mix two of my favorite things, music and shopping, for a fun Friday post. Stay tuned every Friday for one of my favorite music videos along with similar fashion finds. TGIF! xo

life scraps.

So with one of my summer goals being to scrapbook the year of 2011, I thought it would be fun to share a few pages from my recently finished wedding scrapbook (I'm kind of a procrastinator—I'm working on it). I'll be sharing the progress of my 2011 scrapbook as I go, but until then I thought these would be fun to show off. I love being creative and crafty with scraps of memories! xo

 

 

summer goals.

The oh-so-inspiring Elsie has challenged her readers to create summer goals, so here's 10 of mine:

1. finish my summer reading list

2. successfully turn boring guest room into super fun craft room

3. make a 2011 scrapbook

4. own an 11" macbook air

5. blog once a day

6. develop a roll of film every week

7. get through all my home ec sewing projects

8. talk to all my close friends at least once a week

9. screen on the green!

10. find the time to experience more local live music

What are your summer goals? xo

to lala land and back.

I got to visit a good friend in LA over Memorial Day weekend, and I was able to experience so many new things! I biked from Santa Monica Pier to Venice Beach, tried Boba tea, watched an old movie in a cemetery, found stars on the Walk of Fame, toured Universal Studios, tasted some Yogurtland, ate a churro, drove on Rodeo, saw the tallest palm trees ever and the Hollywood sign! The perfect mini-cation.

building castles in the air.

It's been awhile, a month and ten days to be exact. I've been busy daydreaming. Daydreaming about who I've become and who I want to be. To be honest I've felt rather boring, working a lot and finding little to be inspired. But I've learned how to sew and I've overcome a fear of skiing. Small accomplishments I suppose, but for me it's a great way to start the new year. With January coming to a quick end, I saw the first of February as inspiration to get back into the swing of blogging. I realize I don't need inspiration to blog. Blogging inspires me. It inspires me to write and do projects and try new things and take more pictures. So here's to a year of all of the above. xo
