Yes to These Shoes.

May 6th, 2011

These shoes can be found at Sense of Fashion (here). And I can imagine if owned them, and wore them, and walked down the street, that this song would start playing… I’m pretty sure that’s how it will happen.

Washroom Porn

May 6th, 2011

I am reeeaally wanting to re-do our little mudroom to become this above shot. Or this. Or this. But with a washing machine. Is this physically possible? The room is about 12 feet X 5 1/2 feet. Quick. I need a degree in architecture. And design. Let me get on that. Give me a few [...]

May 5th, 2011

Last week, we went to see the Railroad Revival Tour in Austin…and it was incredible. Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and Old Crow Medicine Show. One of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. I’ll talk more about this sooner than later, but it does strike me every time I [...]

So This is Happening.

May 5th, 2011

Here are a few things that I just pulled from the Garden. And as you can see, and as usual, I totally credit my addiction to book learning. That said, I’m going to have a lot of talk about, show you, and experiment with on this topic over the next couple of months. Because my [...]

Ruffle Dress. Summer Dress.

May 5th, 2011

I want to start wearing more red. And more yellow. I have half a mind to order this dress from eShaki, in each color. Would that be crazy? I know. Totally. But in a good way, right?
