Today...

Today I wore my favorite aviator shades and a pretty dress from Italy. I finished one great book and started another. And I got to see a glimpse of God's beauty in a new bloom. 

How was your day?

A Little Love For Moonrise Kingdom...

 Every time I see a trailer for this movie I get so excited. The whole thing just looks like an absolute dream to me complete with the perfect setting of the 60s. I am especially in love with Kara Hayward's dresses and makeup in it! Not to mention the fact that Jason Schwartzman is in it, LOVE him!! And  if all of those things didn't do it for you the plot is all summed up by "A pair of young lovers flee their New England town, which causes a local search party to fan out and find them." Oh my, I cannot wait to see this movie. Looks like Wes has made a gem.       

p.s. I also stumbled upon this board inspired by the movie! So many 60s things!! 

Peace and Love,

6/26/12...

The past couple of days I have been feeling pretty sick. A lot of bad headaches and nausea. You know, the works. I had a bunch of errands to run today but when I've been home it's been a lot of cat naps, HGTV, and listening to Maroon 5's new album. Have you heard it?? So goooood.

Peace and Love,

Back To My Own Bed...

This weekend was very busy. My grandparents came to stay which meant that Maddie and I were kicked out of our rooms. One night I slept down in the basement and the other was spent on the couch. Both left me tangled up and uncomfortable. Needless to say I am thankful to be back in my own bed. We did have a good weekend visiting! All of us gals went out for a day of shopping where I picked up a fun sundress from Target and a couple little things at Marshall's. We drank a lot of sweet tea and watched a lot of baseball. It was a nice little weekend with family.

Peace and Love,

Good Friends, Good Food...

 Last night I finally got to see my dear friend Tara for the first time since I went down south. We would normally see each other at least two days a week during the school year so it's weird going a long time without hanging out. We went out to the arts district in Hyattsville and had dinner at "Busboys + Poets." What a cool place! Oh, and the food was so good! (Thanks Kristen for your recommendation!) Afterwards we drove to Annapolis and did some shopping and got yummy frozen yogurt. So good to catch up with one of my favorite gals and have some really yummy food!! 

Peace and Love,
