this made my day

i found this gem this morning and it simultaneously made me go 'awwwww', melted my heart, and made my day.

girlfriend wanted

" must love decorating for holidays
mischief
kissing in cars
and wind chimes

no specific height
weight
hair color
or political affiliation required
but would prefer a warm spirited non racist

cynics
critics
pessimists
and “stick in the muds” need not reply

voluptuous figures a plus

any similarity in look, mind set, or fashion sense to
mary poppins
claire huxtable
snow white
or elvira wholeheartedly welcomed

i am dubious of actresses, fellons, and lesbians
but dont want to rule them out entirely

must be tolerant of whistling
tickle torture
james taylor
and sleeping late

i have a slight limp
eerily soft hands
and a preternatural love of autumn

I once misinterpreted being called a coal-eyed dandy as a compliment when it was intended as an insult

I wiggle my feet in my sleep
am scared of the dark
and think the Muppets Christmas Carol is one of the greatest films of all time

all i want is
butterfly kisses in the morning
peanut butter sandwiches shaped like a heart
and to make you smile until it hurts "

oh, look. it made me go 'aaawwww' like the girly girl i don't like to admit i have deep down inside.

my driving instructor who loved serial killers

When i was 17 my mom refused to teach me how to drive in her car, so i took driving lessons. you know, the ones where they come and pick you up in those obnoxious cars that say student driver all over them like you're going to run over puppies and children if the people around you aren't warned that you're learning.

one morning a guy came to my door and i jumped in the car and started driving. he was asking questions about what i wanted to study in college so i told him either fashion design or psychology. biggest mistake of my drive, and keep in mind i almost ran a red light. the mention of psychology started a rant of how much this guy knew about serial killers. i don't mean common knowledge. we all know the infamous like ted bundy, david berkowitz, and charles manson but this guy knew every. single. one. he started down a list, in chronological order, of serial killers. not just names, but details. details the casual documentary watchers wouldn't really remember, like how richard ramirez liked single story yellow houses and how many siblings he had. we passed a post office and the instructor casually mentioned how that post office looked like one that a guy shot a bunch of people in front of.

as if being stuck in a car with the non-stop talk of serial killers wasn't creepy enough, i noticed we were driving down a long deserted road in porter ranch where there were less and less houses and cars. we drove down this road until it turned to dirt, turned around, and i drove home pretty much counting down the seconds until i was out of that car.

i always think, 'what a creep!' but doesn't it make me almost as creepy because i know all that stuff because of that instructor?

i've been watching a lot of criminal minds lately...

i feel some fun coming...

lately i've been in a weird mood and inspired by different things than usual. the feeling has kind of come off on my shopping and i've picked up some really interesting pieces. i can't wait to incorporate these into my wardrobe. (please excuse the horrible pictures. my camera battery is dead and i don't feel like charging it.)

jaime nelson

jamie nelson is, by far, one of my favorite fashion photographers. you'd probably be surprised by how much of her work you've seen. her photography often graces the pages of my favorite magazine, z!nk, along with pretty much every other prominent fashion magazine in the world. check her out, she's amazingly talented.

mini fashionistas

in case you haven't been able to tell from my numerous posts, i am very close with my family. i'm extremely close to my three cousins ciara, kylie, and sydney. they have a hold of my heart and know exactly what to do to melt it!

while they were here visiting they wanted me to style them for a runway show for their mom, dad, and aunt. we went through my closet and found three dresses that we could rig to fit their little bodies and they had way too much fun digging through my millions of heels, picking out the tallest ones [of course!], to wear in their little show.

it was really fun for them, and really hard for me to see them looking so grown up!

ciara

kylie

ciara's crossed feet in this picture make me smile

smiley faces

'model' faces

as you can see, the six inch heels didn't last long :)

summer

i've been absent, and going crazy, these past few weeks. i've been ridiculously busy and haven't had a second for pretty much anything. between an INSANE work schedule, vacation, babies, and family visiting i've hardly had time to breathe.

these past few very fun weeks have been filled with:

family

fresh baked babies

my girlies

dance

shopping and ice cream :]

and fashion shows

i hope your summer is going as good as mine is.
