Little Boxes by Jenny Lewis

I quite enjoy this...and all that's associated with it.

Currently Reading...

Already read as a break from the 10 pounder Anna Karenina. This was a quick read, only takes a day or two. Dark, unique, amusing.

frick and frack

 

I have always considered my grandparent's house as one of my homes. Meet Frick and Frack who think this as well. Against my grandparent's wishes. They want that pool. 

rainy day

 It's raining today and supposed to rain all weekend.

 

Sounds like a good opportunity to lounge around in pajamas all day.

And for some tea drinking, pizza eating, Netflix watching, and Wii playing.

Happy rainy weekend!

to keep or not to keep

I bought the shoes shown above (the B.MAKOWSKY Jessie Wedge Sandal) at DSW today. Probably not the best decision, but I have been looking for a neutral, comfortable, wedge sandal for a while. They are expensive though and I'm not sure how much use I'll be getting out of them living in SF. So, I still have to decide if I want to keep them or return them.
Also shown above are other items I want, but probably don't need. But, might go well with my new shoes.

Currently Reading...

 ...Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Let's see if I can finish this paper of weight by the time its due back to the library.

if I could, I would...

...have my very own lap pool to include in my ideal, imaginary, bajillion dollar home. Community pools are nice and all, but it would be amazing to be able to swim everyday, alone, with no time constraints, and just a step outside.

Hot pink London souvenir sweatshirt, black tutu, and mom-made, red, crocheted booties...appropriate, right?

yup, royal wedding

haha, little girl

Yup. I woke up early to watch the Royal Wedding live. Was in and out of sleep during the boring parts. But was awake for the lead-up, the vows, and the kiss. Although I missed the little bridesmaid covering her ears. Poor girl.

I don't know why I did this to myself, but I had a mild fascination with the wedding and this couple leading up to it. A fascination deep enough to even sit through the lifetime movie. A fascination with the hats, fasteners, outfits, and hype over Kate's dress- which turned out to be gorgeous and classic.

Cheers!

after dinner

Yesterday was my birthday. It was nice. Played a soccer game like I do every Sunday. Lost. Then my boyfriend treated me to dinner at Scoma's, a seafood restaurant by Fisherman's Wharf. It was delicious. Crab cakes and lobster bisque for appetizers. Ahi and King Salmon as the entrees. And raspberry cheesecake and tiramisu for dessert. We ate everything, even the complimentary bread.

Outside Scoma's. Pretty windy.

Golden Gate Park

birthday toms

Classic navy birthday toms, courtesy of my best friend who currently lives in Burma. Thanks! Wish you were here! You've got 2 days to get here till my birthday.

Outside and Across the Street

The Outside Lands line-up was announced a few days ago and I want to go. It will be just across the street in the GG Park, so I don't think I can pass up the convenience. The line-up is pretty good, but I'd be mostly excited to see Arcade Fire. Gotta decide by Thursday.

Speaking of outside, we've actually been going outside as of late with the weather being nice(it got up to 80 degrees!) and just a desire to be more active. The past couple of weeks, we've been taking advantage of the frisbee golf course, tennis courts, and hiking trails. This picture was taken on our hike last week, I think it was the Land's End trail. Lots of stairs, great views, and side trails to explore.

Hybrid Necklace

I made this hybrid necklace...

...out of this...

...and this.

I've been checking out a lot of style and fashion blogs lately and thought I might add some style components to my own blog. So there may be more outfit and style posts starting...now.

I have some hand-me-down items in my wardrobe and jewelry collection that I took simply because they were handed to me. Always a sucker for free things. Even if they aren't necessarily items I would choose myself. Because of this, I seem to have collected a few long strings of beads that I haven't really worn. So I was playing around with them and decided to try to make a hybrid beaded necklace. This turqoise and yellow necklace is what I came up with , looping them around and letting them hang with each other. Now I think I may actually get some use out of these.
