Lazy Day

I hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday, full of good food and peaceful naps!

Sneak Peak

Luckily, the weather cooperated yesterday evening and we were able to have our engagement/family (Ben and I and our 3 crazy, wild, bad-behaving dogs) photo shoot. Kjrsten (fashion blog here, photography website here) is an amazing photographer and I'm so happy she took our photos! She is sweet, creative, and so much fun:) Since she uses film only, no digital, it will take some time to have the photos developed. Once I get them, I will definitely share! In the meantime, here is a tiny little sneak peak (Ben snapped this one). I can hardly wait to get the pictures!!!

La Citron

Hello lovely ladies! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Even though our photo shoot had to be rescheduled because of the weather, I still had a great weekend! The photo shoot will take place very soon - fingers crossed for some gorgeous weather in the next few days.

Today, Ben and I went to Chez Machin for brunch. This is one of my favorite spots. They have the best crepes in town! We also ran a few errands and went grocery shopping. I ended my Sunday with a wonderful restorative yoga class.

Yes, I'm wearing the J. Crew Tea-Stained dobby dress again! I can't get enough of this dress:) It's a bit too short on me for the office, so it is getting a lot of weekend wear. This time, I paired it with lots of navy.

The "La Citron" - Mmmmmmmmmm

On Saturday, we walked to our friends' house for dinner. We had a great time and ended up staying up way too late enjoying great company, conversation, and wine.

These All Black shoes were the very first pair of shoes I ever bought from Anthropologie. The color is gorgeous and I love the cut-outs. I kind of regret not getting the Skylight Mary-Janes from last year (which are a brown version of these shoes).

Is there something that you are wearing over and over again right now? Something you love too much to keep hanging in your closet for more than a week or so?

Tea-Stained

On Saturday, I went to Doug Fir with my bff, Alicia. We saw a local band, Blue Skies for Black Hearts and The Pipettes. The Pipettes were very animated and they danced pretty much the whole time. They were adorable and so fun to watch! The girls had on the cutest little dresses with mixed prints - floral and polka dots. Both groups were great and we had a wonderful night!

I wore the J. Crew Tea -stained dobby dress. Alicia told me that I would love this dress, and she was right! The color is wonderful, the material is very soft yet textured, and hello red polka dots! See the dress on Alicia here (I love the cardigan she paired with it).

Tights: Hue (navy)

I unfortunately had to leave these lovely red shoes at home and wear my ever practical danskos for the show. Since I didn't know if I would be standing for long periods of time, I figured it would be best to play it safe. I do not want to irritate my almost-completely-healed foot injury.

I hope you all are having a great week! Any plans for the upcoming weekend? I am so excited because we are having our engagement/family (Ben and I and our 3 dogs) photos taken on Saturday! We were able to squeeze in a photo session with Kjrsten Madsen before her upcoming move to London.

Bloom Over Bud

On Friday night, Ben and I went to Miho for dinner. We both love trying new restaurants and this was the perfect place for a date night. While we were waiting for a table, I enjoyed a "Little Debbie" cocktail (Shochu, grapefruit juice, and ginger ale). Ben had Shochu on the rocks. If you have never had shochu before, you should give it a try! It has a really nice, mild, interesting taste. For dinner, we shared a seaweed salad, beef teriyaki, ramen noodles, and pork belly with sweet eggs. Every bit of it was delicious.
