I have next to nothing to say today as I am quickly getting ready for company tonight and baking my Bailey's and chocolate chip banana bread, while I clean up the house.  What does that mean?  It means I am going to post a lil ol video vlog...the ever popular dialect vlog to be exact.  Please pardon my constant laughter and tired eyes...it was very late last night and Albert and I were both still up and giddy and a little bored so this is what the result of that was.  I'm not going to lie, we are straight up goobers.  You will see for yourself:)



Did we sound how you thought we did...hehe.  Enough of the nonsense.  Hope your week is going lovely darlings!

Before the Snow

As beautiful as the weather has been, it was finally time for winter to arrive.  This was just before the snow.  It's frigid outside now, the ground is covered in white and the cold windy air is making me a bit grumpy.  I am simply not made for the cold weather.  Anybody want to hop a plane to Florida with me?  I have even been trying to coax my son into putting on his snowsuit and going out to play and he always answers me, "Snow.  No!"  Haha, I guess the apple does not fall far from the tree.

I think a cup of homemade hot chocolate with big fluffy marshmallows is the only thing to beat my case of the Monday Winter blues.  Hey, I just gave myself a good idea!   I'm off now darlings to go warm up.

Stay warm!

Saturday Sunshine

Perfect Saturdays to me are spent doing things at my own pace.  A warm pancake breakfast with a side of Dr. Seuss or Winnie the Pooh with my son is ideal to kickstart the day.  I believe this Saturday will fall nothing short of fantastic.  The day has only just begun and is looking bright already.

Wishing you a splentastic Saturday darling dears,
Much love and sweet sunshine,

Benny and Joon

I found this dress at a vintage shop the other week in Philly and pretty much knew I was going to snag it up very quickly as I had one very similar as a high schooler in the 90s.  So I guess you could say it was kinda an ode to my teenage self.  Benny and Joon, Empire Records, My So-Called Life, Friends, the Gin Blossoms and Pearl Jam...Meg and Tom and ooh that Johnny Depp. The days of awesome romantic comedies and good radio are long gone, but well this corduroy baby doll dress...I think it's here to stay:)

Boathouse Row

Outfit Details: Dress: Swapped with The Modest Muse//Hat: UO//Sweater: Vintage//Shoes: Thrifted

Saturday was the warmest winter day I've ever seen so Albert and I took full advantage by taking the longest stroll down Boathouse Row in Philly.  It's way too easy to get carried away with taking photos when the scenery around you is this sublime. I do believe all winter days...except for Christmas, should be just like this:)

Have the most splendid week darlings!

Plane Gazer

Hello Darlings, 

Hope you are having one swell weekend.  This one finds me yet again in Philly and I'm almost feeling as if this heart-filled city is becoming a second home to us as we've been here so often as of late.  Back in the suitcase again, but I really can't complain.  This place holds so many sweet memories for me as it is where Albert and I first really started our relationship with one another.  I'm sure if you look back I've written about it before but this quiet little area known as Plane Spotter's Place that is tucked away down a  beaten path behind the airport, next to the water, is where we spent summer's days laying on top the roof of his old Saturn watching the planes fly overhead and talking for hours.  

Years later, we still come back to this same place.  Do you have any special places that you always go back to with your family or friends?

Love bunches, 

The Swing

I'm home from the holidays darlings as I'm sure most of you are by now too.  It's kind of sweetastic to be back into the swing of every day life and not be living out of a suitcase.  Though while away, I was lucky enough to score this interesting little 80s tunic jacket thing while out vintage shopping and thought it would be kind of perfect repurposed as a short dress.  Nothing more to say than that the plaid sailor style collar drew me in like nobody's business.

My New Year's resies have gotten off to a swift start as I cooked something new this week - homemade ham & bean soup, mmm mmm good...and got back into my exercise routine.  Fingers crossed it will last.  That's about all for now...my little man is backing up onto my lap and asking me to "read":)  Life has so quickly become about cars, trains, and Dr. Seuss and I wouldn't have it anyone other way.

Love bunches,  

New Year's Cheers

Happy New Year darlings!

Now that the holidays are over and the new year has so quickly arrived, I really want to greet it with wide open arms.  I'm excited for the adventure that lies ahead.  More so than anything this year, I really want to go after everything I do wholeheartedly.  So it seemed fitting to make a list of goals...7 being the lucky number:

Whatever your goals or resolutions may be I wish you the best of them all.  Here's to making 2012 a beautiful one...chasing dreams, living fully, loving completely.  

Sweet dreams and many blessings,
