two days and freaking counting

so this is my life right now. packing isnt going so bad. im kinda worried that i might not be bringing enough, but i know when i get there all im going to want to do is buy scarves. and thanks to nini, that might happen. THANK YOU NINI. the toughest part my be the playlistssssssssss. which im working on right now, and loving. any suggestions?

i also went to salvation army today, not a bad trip. i snagged two pretty nice blazers, considering my mothers alteration lady pretty much stole mine. one is black and a bit heavy and double breasted, the other is a nice weight, black, long, and fitted. I also got a silk leapord print blouse, and some pretty sweet embroidary art. ill try to post it before i leave. if not, ill work on my wall arrangement and do a room post after.

Sunday Morning

My best friend Kayla and I went to see No Doubts "reunion" tour last night. I'm SO glad shes home. It was REALLY good. We did it kinda last minute, and paid ten dollars more for lawn seats, but it was totally worth it. Gwen was fucking ripped man. I can only hope I'm that hot at the age of 32 after having two kids. They were truely a band, they even gave mad props to the keyboardists (they kinda do everything, but they did a lot of beats, and horns. so awesome). It was pretty great. They played mostly return of saturn stuff it felt like, but now that I think about it, did a lot of Tragic Kingdom. I was hoping they might play at least one song from Beacon Street but they didn't. But you know its ok cause they completely ruled when playing Sunday morning. I think its my new favorite No Doubt song. That's kinda a big deal.

YARDWORK!

yardwork is playing tonight. this is what im wearing. im pretty proud of this outfit, i bought this skirt from urban outfitters a long time ago and it never looked good. i played around with it a bit and ended up wearing it high waisted and putting the bow thats supposed to be on the side on the back. i dig it. worn with express tank dress, thrifted jean jacket, and shark tooth necklace. and eventually anthropologie sandals.

berfday

(anthropologie shirt, moms roman glass necklace, f21 sandals that make me feel like a little lion.)

so today is my mom and my brothers b day. mmhm. specical. we know. so to celebrate, im taking them to rusans, a tastey sushi place, its kinda famous.

tomorrow i have to wake up at the crack of dawn to take my mom to the airport and then drive rachael back to asheville. i might be meeting up with my weaving teacher, christy, who is working at a mill in herdersonville if im lucky. if nothing else, rach and i will get to see UP for free. yippeee!

sorry for the bad pic, my camera is all outta whack, like you saw in the charleston pics. it will only take close up photos, and i guess this just wasnt close enough.

phew, bed time.

she is beautiful

val took these pictures of leigh in charleston, i think they are gorgeous. can we say M-O-D-E-L?!

Charleston

this man had on this big floppy hat. i was too scared to get a good shot of him, but im glad i at least caught the back.



face? dont know. but rach and i decided that we think my chanel that i thrifted is real. cha-ching!


the urban outfitters there has the most amazing building on king street. extemely high ceilings, massive amounts of chandeliers, coffered entry way, and they support local artists. what more could you want?

modern inspiration

here are a few pics i took at the modern wing of the art institute of chicago two weeks ago. it was madness, beautiful madness. im sorry i dont have the names of the artists of pieces but i guess i could figure them out if you wanted me to :)

IM IN LOVE

so i got my tarrot cards read by the lovely val gal today, and it told me i would be overwhelmed with love. it did not say however that it would be with this amazing piece of lycra. OH EM GEE to sa the least. i have found it. i am complete. the search is over. and i might even be able to get a discount.

sorry for the lack of posts. duh. i went to charleson this weekend and have a few pics to share with you all. ill probably get them up tomorrow. <3
