canoe-ready!
i’m off to spend the weekend on a canoe/camping trip up in northeast iowa with four other couples (5 total). t and i are super-pumped because it’s our first time out this year. i can already smell the campfire…mmm. have a great weekend!
camp comfort
I am MEGA-inspired by these summer ensembles posted by miss roberta jane at camp comfort. If you haven’t already checked it out, do so NOW. [huge blog crush, right here.]
gladiators
i’ve been wanting a pair of gladiator sandals all summer long. i haven’t splurged on any YET, but i just might have to on this cute pair from dolce vita. what do you guys think – is it worth the $55?
those summer nights
of course, this automatically makes me think of Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. i can’t believe I still don’t own this movie!
the weekend started off with a visit from my sister & getting a little crazy.
…then….
friends joseph & joey were back from california! we met up with the whole crew downtown to see the Beati Paoli show at the Vaudeville Mews. it was just like old times! man I miss these 2 sooooooo much.
Remember this? somehow, in the 5 days they were here, J & J managed to throw the most PERFECT outdoor dinner party. don’t you love the outdoor lanterns and lights?!?
Let’s recap:
outdoors + good music + sweet drinks + summer heat + pool splashing + awesome food + goofy family + many laughs + fabulous friends = one AMAZING summer weekend.
dear yoga -
dear yoga –
i know i’ve been neglecting you, been ignoring your goodness. it’s been weeks since i’ve seen you, but my body wants to say it misses you. i feel you calling me back, and i promise you, i’ll get back to my mat soon. and when i do, it’ll be without limits. i can’t wait to see you!
feels like summer
I’m loving these bright colors and patterns – makes me want to mix and match my heart out!

seeing red
a few weeks ago i went back home for my sister’s graduation. i had freshly dyed my hair for the occasion so it was a tad brighter than normal. i personally thought it looked pretty rad, but was quite the shock to the conservative, rural peeps who showed up at my sister’s open house party. i was given weird looks and less-than complimentary remarks all day but the icing on the cake was when i was greeted by the mother of one of my HS friends with a loud gasp, followed by ” What happened!? You poor woman!!!” i was infuriated! it took everything i had to refrain from screaming back at her. $%&@!!! instead i gave her a fake smile and went on serving up sandwiches, all the while fuming inside. looking back, it was silly to get so worked about her comment. why should other people’s opinions matter so much to me? i found this image/quote last week and wish i would have had this mentality…
i mean really. who cares what they think? my hair’s red. i happen to love it that way. and if people think i’m crazy for it, well…maybe i am, maybe i’m not. but either way, i’m happy with who i am no matter what color my hair is.
