i wore these skinny white jeans at least 2 times a week last summer. i plan to do the same this summer. kinda gross but i didn't/don't care.

i'm pretty sure that ariel gave me this skirt before i moved out... thought i lost it. i'm wearing it as a dress today

trying to figure out how to sit in a beach chair at work all day

walking home in the rain

was fun today. haven't gotten drenched like that since a summer stage a million years ago.

haaa. jc broke his only water regime for a treat of juice. he really really enjoyed himself.

so it wasn't summer 2 weeks ago when it was 100 degrees?

i may be growing a minor obsession with madras - ariel found this jumper for me on our thrifting excursion on monday, thanks, love it
somehow i managed to not get run over by the 10 thousand skaters speeding past me today. lords of dogtown anyone? ( i LOVE that movie)



beauty crisis on 7th is having a huge sale....like 40% to 70% off. the jewelery counter is overwhelming and worth checking out
i even splurged on a tee from village style or whatever that place is called near 7A, just cause its so peachy :) but why am i thrift shopping when i know i need to purge because my apartment looks and feels INSANE? o my, i have problems!

organizational bliss - i need some of that

everything is a mess right now and i'm not sure why.
work desktop before: and after:
now to just tackle my growing piles of "sell" clothes and my overstuffed apartment. **gulp


logged on to find that i made my 200th entry

on monday. wow, i feel like a blogging fool.
anyway, i'm here. here, dreaming of cotton white tank tops and cotton floral skirts.

left the dog at home in search for vintage finds

poor scouty, he hates it when anyone leaves the house :( ariel and natalia, love the purple madras and the lavenderish maxi dress girls!

my thrifted utah tee by way of brooklyn? i'm lame, but whatever, its cute

father's day

went home and took pictures in the backyard. can't believe i didn't capture the peonies a couple of weeks ago...they looked like tissue paper...gorgeous
leave it to my mom to have bird houses because they're so cute even tho shes so afraid of them. they're old now and the wind forces them to sit on the ground.



i like the new dog now, he actually cuddled a few times instead of running and hiding. aww i think we're friends.
why does everything taste better on the grill? even my tofu dogs and veggie burgers
thrifted these old lady sandals online over the winter and finally wore them. they were perfect for all of my running around all weekend.

just saturday.


yuca bar scrambled egg burrito. hold the chorizo please.
and weeping willow daydreams.
bright pink nails still going strong. my manicures normally only last about a day (mental note to self: stop talking with my hands).

its a lil sad

that my one major joy today was looking at my bright pink toes and my bright pink nails all day
o and testing out the cappuccino maker at my job.
1 ice coffee and 2 cappuccinos later here i am up, wide awake and completely exhausted, wishing my hands would stop shaking. help

the heat wave is over

but its never really cool enough for vintage polyester - good thing i like this dress. anyway, sorry for the lame pose. i really miss the full mirror in my old office ( we just moved) the pics were boring but at least they were full outfits. luckily, A.L. agreed to take my pic. thanks!! she's below in the purple dress with the neckline and with her new over-priced bag from new orleans.

my job had no ac today

and yes it was like 100 degrees in the city. today's outfit: all thrifted including the butterfly belt that everyone in the world has but that i rarely wear because it pops open sometimes.

they say its gonna be like 100 degress all week...

like for real? i'm nervous about that because as much as i love summer that kind of heat sorta kills my entire day. today i had a long laundry list of stuff to do, fun stuff not actual laundry. the list started with a bloody mary with M.T. then a blog picture at the enchanted forest, then like 4 more stops. ahhhh, what wasted goals - the day basically ended with with that bloody mary, a few pictures in the garden, a liquiteria and then run for ac. so sad.




there are 2 things i really want in life, 2 things that i can not wait too long for: a puppy and my own english cottage style garden
