Wisteria

I wore this dress over the weekend to run errands, go out to eat, and catch a movie. We finally saw Bridesmaids, but I have to admit that I was a little bit disappointed. I think the disappointment was inevitable, considering all of the hype surrounding the movie. It was definitely funny, but my expectations were just too high. What other movies are out right now that are worth watching? Any suggestions?









Dress: Anthropologie Wisteria Halter Dress

My birthday is coming up this month. You know what that means - Anthropologie discount! Here are a few things that are at the top of my wishlist right now:

AG Stevie Ankle

Brushed Lace Pullover

Tupelo Dress

Loosened Shelby Blouse

Decisions, decisions. Let me know what you think!

Button-back

I hope your holiday weekend is off to a nice start. I had a lazy morning, a delicious brunch at Zell's, and a long afternoon nap:) Other than a movie tonight, we really don't have any plans for the rest of the weekend. What about you?

I first noticed this top when Appgal reviewed it (here). It's the Stripe Button-Back tee from J. Crew. When J. Crew was offering 30% off sale items a couple of weeks ago, I noticed the tee was still available in my size. I got it for just under $14. Score! I love this tee. It is so soft and comfy.

The best part of the tee is the back. Aren't the buttons cute?

In other news, I've had a very lucky shoe week. After finding a new Chie Mihara love (I will share soon), I scored some great deals on a couple of other pairs of shoes. I happened to see that someone posted over at Effortless Anthropologie about seeing the Lemon Stick wedges on second cut for $29.99 at their local store (even though they are still $79.95 elsewhere). I quickly called the store and these beauties are now on their way to me. After reading the reviews, I think that they may end up being too big for me. For that price though, it's worth a shot. I really hope I can make them work.


I also ordered the Crossover Clogs on popback for $29.99. Fingers crossed that they actually ship!

Painted Hills

Hi ladies! Thanks for all of the tips on my last post. I have come to the realization that those shoes are just not available. I searched every site that I know of and also emailed Chie Mihara customer service. They were kind enough to write back and let me know that they had done a search of their database, and the shoes were not available in my size anywhere. No worries though, I have already discovered a new Chie Mihara love! More on that later:)

Ben and I went camping this past weekend. We took all 3 dogs along as well. Trust me when I tell you that this is no small feat. Talus loves to run away and he is quite the escape artist, Zander has extreme anxiety (I believe he was mistreated before we adopted him), and Kya pretty much hates Zander, so much so that they have to be separated at all times. As you can imagine, this makes for some interesting times. I'm not sure what we were thinking when we decided to bring everyone along, but I'm glad we did. The trip went much better than I ever expected. The dogs had a blast, they got to run, play, and swim the whole time.

We went to central Oregon to see Painted Hills. We have been meaning to check it out since we moved here, and we finally made it happen.

I guess this is my OOTD:) I'm wearing a J. Crew tee and Joe's jeans.

Check out our campsite. Isn't is beautiful? We were pretty much in the middle of nowhere. There was no one else in sight. It was a little creepy at first, but it really was perfect for the dogs.

This is Zander, loving the outdoors. He is such a gorgeous guy.

Talus discovered that he really does like to swim:)

Fun with the camera!

Help!

I really, REALLY want need these shoes:

Chie Mihara "QUATRO 17 - NAMI LECHE"

The only place I can find them is the Chie Mihara website (here), and they are only available in one size (the wrong one). I have google/ebay searched like a crazy woman, but I cannot find them anywhere else. Any ideas???

Oh, honey honey

What I love most about our front yard:

Thank you, Ben for planting so many enticing flowers in our front yard. Watching all of these lovely bees makes me so very happy. Getting in some photography practice sessions makes me happy as well:)
