Heavenly Weekend: Out + About

Sonny Bear requested to get more face time on this blog... so here you go little guy... your time to shine!


My poor closet threw up.


Anne Shirely. Anne spelled with an E.


Spent my entire allowance.


Weekends by the sea.


Local Farmers Market.


More fresh fruits and veggies.


Fresh.


Stare down. She always wins.


Pure delight.

This weekend went by in a blur. Even though I had my Friday off it seems that it just wasn't long enough. Story of my life.

Lots of cleaning on Friday just to get the weekend started with no fussing around. I feel like a domesticated goddess getting everything and every dog in the house cleaned. To the windows... to the walls! I ended the night by crafting new necklaces while catching up on True Blood. To me this show is like Twilight except with more adult content. The cheesey mc cheese factor is still in it... but I love it.

Saturday was a ladies day out with my Sister and Mom as we made our way out to LA to check out the Renegade Craft Fair. We had a blast - I'll be posting more about my finds and buys later. Lots of great vendors and designers!

Sunday I woke up early to go with Sonny to his Dragon Boat practice. I made plans to go to the Farmers Market with Janet while our husbands paddled their way around the island. I love Farmers Markets... Everything is so fresh and yummy! Next time I am gonna go with a cooler so I can get fresh fish and more fruits and veggies.

See my weekend was pretty chill... Nothing tooo crazy.... I hope you all had wonderful weekends as well.

I Got Tagged!

I haven't been tagged in awhile so I was happy when I got a little message from Trishiekoh over at Under Lock & Key that I was tagged! She is one of my daily reads and I love her for making my day brighter with her amazingly beautiful posts.

Rules: Tag and link back to the person who tagged you. List six little things that make you happy. Tag six bloggers and let them know they're “it".

Ok, here's my happy list:

1. Spending long weekends with my best friends.

2. Listening to my iPod on shuffle. Every song is a beautiful surprise.

3. Taking pictures on the freeway. The moments to take the pictures come and go so fast... so when I get the shot I wanted to get, it is even that more satisfying.

4. Bargain shopping. I love spending full days hitting up all my hit list stores just to find an awesome buy.

5. Surprise gifts from Sonny. Somedays I'll come home to a huge bag of Stila loot or some random things that he'll pick up from here and there and just say "they reminded me of you..."

6. Looking at old pictures from High School... or even older. Some of them make me cringe but seeing the look on my face and on my friends and family... I don't think we care too much about what we looked like because we were having that much fun!

My list of lovelies...

Heavenly Weekend: Celebrating America

I haven't flown a kite since my kite contest winning days.

Who needs flip flops when you are chillin' all day on a blaket on the grass.


Our Amazon buy dome beach shelter. Probably the best thing $6o can getcha.


Watching Sonny do his boatin' thang.


The afternoon light in Norwalk.


Sonny's cheap light saber.


Casting a spell on you.


Rays of light.

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th! As you can see I had a little fun in the sun and A LOT of fun playing with fireworks. We usually don't do much and like to just sprawl ourselves around the TV watching mindless marathons. This year was probably one of the best 4th we've celebrated in years... complete with a crowded beach, semi fresh LB air and night lights!

Madewell Looks for Summer

I am a casual kinda girl who digs Free People, denim jackets and lounge clothes during the summertime. So of course I am lovin' all things by Madewell 1937.

Just too pretty for words. I have been seeing this "sharpie" trend in so many different types media but this Look Book for Peter Jensen line done by Charlotte Mann is just amazing!

I am off to have a glorious and well deserved 3 day weekend! I hope you all have some wonderful plans to celebrate the 4th of July. Me and the hubby have already planned a packed weekend full of awesome workouts, a little korean bbq, birthdays, beach picnics, dragon boating, fireworks and hopefully a little R&R. :)

This photograph from David Sykes just makes my heart sing. I love balloons and I love breakfast!

See you all Monday!! :)
