shine with all your soul

one of my favorite things about our little texas town is the historic square.
which we walk to and from quite often.
there are plenty of nooks and crannies to get lost in.
and in those nooks and crannies, you can always find little graffiti quotes and pictures.
i honestly get sad when i see pointless graffiti on these old historic buildings.
it’s just shameful, really.
but sometimes you stumble upon an uplifting message, or actual art.
and i’m okay with both of those things.

we found this little forgotten area where people must go to “spray” their feelings.
and i kind of want to live back there. or at least find a little quiet spot to read a book.
or ya know, take a blog picture.

while this is not the most beautiful work of art, it makes makes me smile.
and fridays are for smiling.

and before you go revel in your friday-ness, hop over to much love, illy! the beautiful ilene has an adorable new series up called “the guy behind the camera” and was sweet enough to feature chad and i along with some other blogger beauties. it’s fun to give a little shout out to the guys doing all the work!!!

now go and enjoy the beautiful weekend!

a little LA love

i give up on texas weather. i will say that i can’t complain about the fact that i get to pull out my leather jacket {hopefully} one last time before spring decides to show up and stick around. because i kind of like whats hidden beneath it, too.
i’m not a keychain/refrigerator magnet kind of girl, but obviously had to bring something back from our LA trip.
so this little tee had to come home with me.
i think, at heart, i could be a california girl.
the weather. the beach. the palm trees.

but until then, i’ll just show my love with this little gem.

on another fun note, i am up on lulu’s blog today!
go check it out here!
i’m excited to announce that i will be collaborating with lulus further, and will have a fun little video every month!! so definitely be on the lookout!

we are spending our weekend doing some gardening, flower box filling, and more domestic chores. honestly, those kind of weekends are some of my favorites.
hope you enjoy yourselves, as well!

maxi happy

i woke up telling myself that i was going to wear this maxi dress no matter the weather. i’d brave the chilly winds. i’d walk three miles uphill in snow and ice.
i’d trudge through the pouring rain, i tell you!
but alas, texas decided to show its true spring colors, and shine some of that beautiful sunshine down on us. the trees are blooming outside my window at work. it’s friday. i’ve got a little ray lamontagne crooning in my ear. a delicious bag of gummies leftover from my candy store trip the other day stashed in my top drawer.
all is well in the world.

what are you pretties up to this weekend? it’s finally going to be warm again around here…so chad and i have lots of outdoor things planned.
this time next week we will be in la la land.
{ahhh. the beach. disneyland. bbq’s. hollywood. shopping. exploring. repeat} 
so i might just have to do a little outfit planning & packing instead of my normal “throw a bunch of things in the suitcase that i’ll never wear just to end up with a 49.5 pound suitcase at airport check in” routine. it’s a gift really. over packing. not many people possess such a great quality. a quality that all men roll their eyes at. that baggage claim agents hate. that results in stressfully stuffing sweaters into carry-ons last minute.
i’m an overpacker. through and through. guilty as charged.

so you can be sure this little gem of a dress will be nestled among all of the bikinis, shorts, tank tops and shoes that will be joining me in LA.
i can’t get enough of it, i tell you.
oh. and it has pockets.
are you sold?
thought so.

happy friday, my friends. enjoy your weekends.
