Dreamy...

One of my favorite things about Spring/Summer is the music that comes along with it. I love lounging around the house with the windows open or hanging outside and listening to some dream pop. I definitely have records that I only listen to in the Summer and it just makes them that much sweeter. Today it's dark and rainy. We keep getting these hints of Summer but they fade away as quickly as they came. Today I made a playlist of a few dreamy tracks that are getting me in the mood for Summer. Listening to these songs instantly makes me think of the beach or road-tripping with friends. Take a listen and I hope that you enjoy! 

Peace and Love,

Over the Weekend...

On Saturday my day and I went down to our local festival on the green. It was the perfect day for it- the sun was out and there was a nice breeze. It was fun to walk around and look at all of the vendor's booths and all the local art. There was music and dancing and the smell of fried food in the air! My favorite part would have to be the snow cones. Those were a nice little treat :) 

What did you do this weekend?

Little Things...

 

Just a couple little things from around the house this week: 

1. Listening to records non-stop. Spring has rekindled my love for a handful of albums.  

2. Fruit in my cereal. Another great thing about Spring- yummy fruits! 

3. Little Mischief. She has so much fun playing outside in the sun and looking out the windows at birds.    

4. A few new Anthropologie purchases for my future home.

Fire and Rain...

So I am currently reading Fire and Rain by David Browne and I can't put it down. The book focuses on some of my absolute favorite musicians like the Beatles, Neil Young, and James Taylor. While it does contain a lot of historical information and context Browne writes it like a story and makes you feel like you are actually there. It is rare that I find a book that I just can't put down but this is one of those.  If you are looking for a good read I definitely recommend this! Ok, enough of my geeking out for today :) 

Peace and Love,

All You Need..

Yesterday I received a gift from my friend Ruth over at Isn't that Sew. Inside was this BEAUTIFUL necklace! Can you believe that she made that?! I love and adore it so much! Ruth took a phrase that has been so prominent in my life and made it into something that I can wear all the time. I don't think that I will ever take this off! I am so thankful and honored that Ruth took that time to make this for me and am so thankful for her friendship. Check out her blog! She is a very talented lady.

Reunions...

Over the weekend I was able to meet up with a few girlfriends that I haven't seen in a long time. On Friday night I went out for dinner and drinks with my friend Suzanne who I haven't seen in months. It was so great to see her! We went to the Bonefish Grill and had Bang Bang Shrimp and the most delicious Hawaiian cocktails! It was so wonderful to catch up and laugh and I hope to get together again soon. Then on Saturday I went out with my friend Megan who I haven't seen since my birthday party last year. We had lunch at a local diner and caught up on everything that has been going on in each other's lives. After lunch we dropped in Anthropologie and made a few tiny purchases :) It was great to see her too and we are going to work on making plans more often. The sun was out all weekend and provided the perfect weather to cruise around and listen to JT and I'm really thankful that I was able to meet up with my old friends. I want to work hard to keep in contact with those girls. It's funny to see how much things have changed since high school but great to know that our friendships can just pick up where we left off.  

Peace and Love,

In Bloom...

I have to say that I have been so in love with the weather that we have had here lately! It makes me want to do everything outside! I also love how all the little blossoms are starting to pop out. They add beautiful bits of color to the sunshine.

Hello April...

The warm weather has finally has finally made its way to us and I am so excited! I really just love the sunshine and I have been wanting to spend a lot of time outside lately. It is also no secret that I think the 60s and 70s were the best years for music. So I've put together a little playlist that I have been listening to while I spend time outside or when I'm chilling with the windows open.   

Happy Tuesday and I hope you enjoy! 

Peace and Love,
