snapshots + some monday ramblings.

October 15, 2012

So, if you haven’t noticed, it’s pretty much vest season for me. I hardly go anywhere without a vest this time of year. I layer up, put one on, and I’m good to go.

Vests I swear by:

Lands End Canvas

Old Navy

J.crew

The Old Navy one is by far the best deal. 20 bucks later and you’ve got the cutest vest around! Go get one. You’ll love it.

In other news, I went to the SOWA Vintage Market this weekend. That place is just the greatest. I came back with these two steals:

The boots were $27 and the vintage New Yorker magazine cover was a dollar.

What a gold mine.

These photos are all snapshots from the past three weeks in Boston. Mostly, they are from my weekends here in the Bean. There is something about a weekend at home that is just so glorious. Nowhere to go, nothing to do. Like I said, GLOOORYYY. Now I love weekends away as much as the next person, but after a month of traveling in August, and a bunch of weekends away in September, weekends in Boston are welcomed and appreciated. This weekend was filled with bike riding into Harvard Square and dinner’s out and sleeping in. I did laundry, and organized the house. I did work for school, walked around the city, and spent plenty of time vegging out in front of the TV.

Homeland, guys. Watch it. Watch it NOW.

Reasons for you to believe that Homeland is AMAZING:

1. My mom told me about this show.

My mom has the most amazing history with finding shows. She was the one who told me about LOST. And waaaay back in the day she discovered My So Called Life. Best shows ever? I think so.

2. Speaking of My So Called Life, Claire Daines is in Homeland. CLAIRE. DAINES. My #1 celebrity girl crush of all time. BEST ACTRESS EVER. Anyone remember my vlog from way long ago? Where I expressed my forever love for her? Still rings true, people. Still rings true.

3. It won the Emmy AND Golden Globe for Outstanding Drama Series and Best Television Series, respectively. DELICOUS. I’m telling you.

Well, I guess that’s enough rambling for one Monday.

Hope you all had a good weekend, too!

instagram summer.

September 2, 2012

SIGH. what. a. month.

What a summer.

I was here and there and everywhere and and reading my books in between.

There’s this thing about summer that makes me so at peace. I’m not sure if it’s the long days, or the heat of the sunshine, but something about it gives me this carefree feeling that I just can’t quit. And who would want to, honestly? Not me. Not ever.

I think the winning fact about the goodness of summer is that every day is a weekend day from mid June to the end of August. Two and a half months of weekend is everything to write home about.

I have enjoyed this summer, and especially this last month more than words can say. We ate lobsters tonight, the very last of the season for us, and while he was eating, Zan just closed his eyes and said aloud, “remember this. remember this.”

In the breeze of the fall, and the cold of the winter, and even into the beauty of spring, I will remember this. I will remember this summer for always.

Because how could I forget it?

97 summer snapshots.

July 27, 2012

A snapshots post. I haven’t done one of these in awhile (which is painfully evident from the near 100 photos I have uploaded here today).

This post is mostly for me, more than anything.

Sometimes I think I might want to turn this lil blog into a book someday. A book that I can hold and turn the pages of. To remember these days of having so much to do and so much to tell that often it is hard to imagine life more full than this. I don’t really believe that, because deep down inside I know that it will only get fuller and richer with time, and this makes me thankful and wide-eyed.

So here I am storing my favorite snapshots of the summer.

To keep and remember.

On this little old corner of the internet that is mine.

I’ve been busy this week, spending time with family and visiting friends. I will eventually share it all but life seems busy lately and summer is fleeting, so for now I think I’ll just do my best to soak it all in and experience it fully. We’re heading up to the farmhouse again this weekend and then I’m seeing Ingrid Michaelson with my sister on Sunday night, something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time now. There’s still so much to do this summer, and still so much that I’m looking forward to, but I can also see the end in sight which is why I’m starting to put the brakes on a little— attempting to slow it down and hold on a little tighter.

Wishing you a happy weekend, friends. One that inches on slowly letting you hold on and savor every last bit.
