the good

good things about today:

it rained & I was driving a car that doesn't threaten to shut off at every stop light. my boss & I were laughing within ten minutes of arriving at work, which is a good start to the work week. a little old lady complimented my posture. macadamia/white chocolate cookies for an after-lunch dessert. the lady who rescued the four little ducklings that I found last week sent us pictures & my babies are doing juuuust fine.   I researched the pomodoro technique & downloaded a sweet app to help me get started. I VOTED, which I just think is so much fun for some reason. chipotle for dinner with my mom & sisters, always a plus. home under stormy clouds with a ridiculously long book that I'm not even sure that I like but have to finish (The Pillars of the Earth, ever read it??). burning a brand new candle.

these are some pretty good things about today.

sunday best

we had 15 minutes to snap these pictures before I jetted off to work for a teensy little event. so, yes, those are our downstairs neighbors' windows. totally precious.

belt - charlotte russe

shoes - target

lips - revlon, stormy pink

disenchanted

today's been the icing on a month-long cupcake of unrest. so, I'm going out in yoga pants & hot-mess-face to buy hair bleach & red velvet ice-cream. oh yes, she diiiiid.

sunday best

well, happy june! it's somehow the weekend again, which really snuck up on me after a teensy little 4 day work week. but my jilted job exacted its revenge in the form of an 18 hour day at work yesterday, & I am thus calling it even. 

it has been suggested that I start detailing the brands we're wearing. while I'm not opposed, it feels like a really big step into the world of "fashion blogging" & well... that sort of title makes me itchy. & a little sweaty. sorry, but it does. I am always up for hives & a good cold sweat, however, so here I go. are you ready? 

every single thing I'm wearing above came from h&m. even the shirt underneath my polka dot top. shoes, nail polish... guess how often that happens? zero. that happens zero often. except for the first sunday that I'm naming the brands I'm wearing. pretty sure that's not how this is supposed to work.

jared is also wearing h&m, but his tie is j. crew & his shoes are thrifted. & his hair was gifted by God.

so awesome. yaaaay free advertising. ugh, maybe I'll be better at this next week. but no promises ;)

breaking pointe

I am in no way a reality television fan - in fact, the closest I come is a slight obsession with laguna beach in high school & a really embarrassing addiction to sister wives that was developed during a SW marathon that played aaaaaall day as I was laid up on the couch with cramps this past christmas.

however! tonight, we will be in front of the tv, tuned in to the CW to watch our friend Josh's show premiere. because 1. we love him 2. he's a freaking amazing dancer (check him out at :09 & :024!) & 3. he's one of the only people that appreciated laguna beach the way I did, so I owe it to him. josh is a company member of ballet west, so we're definitely hoping to see him on camera a few times this season. it somehow seems a little fancier than skype ;)

 tune in tonight at 8PM/ET on the CW!
