it about -

time.

this clock is rad.

happy monday.

do you ever wish that monday's would simply stop existing?

either that, or i wish the weekend was longer.

you know your mother is a hippie when you grew up listening to this stuff on the records player. *i love you mother. bless you for exposing me to the music of the 60's.

at long last.

the post about the infamous lake powell.

at the second location we docked at, aaron served as tour guide while we hiked up a revine to check out the sweet views that lake powell had to offer.

our good friends ryan {aarons old mission comp} and ali came with us and the four of us took off a few times to explore the lake.
dad oldham took us all fishing one night - the rain and wind cant stop this man! good thing because, i reeled one in that night.

the mr and myself had a great time spending time with his family, our friends and enjoying the sun!
aaron was able to show us his moves on the wakeboard and as captain. priceless.

childhood dreams.

growing up in inner-city portland didnt lend itself well to playing outside, ever. in turn my imagination would run wild with all of the magical things that i could do outside. i always dreamt of living in a magical tree-house where i could escape from reality in the rain and where i could camp out under the summer stars.

i think that this little tree house room would have worked just fine tho {smile}.

why are

euros so cool?

because - they invent things like this. duh.

photog love.

the only word that i can use to describe the above images is - perfect.

im telling you - if you know what is good for you - you will check out rodney smith's portfolio.

happy monday.

things to look forward to {since we all know how monday's can be quite unbearable}:

• running errands with the mr.
• costco trip
• the bachelorette with rob and lindsay
• going to bed before midnight
  

the dentist -

- can stick it.

mello yello

i love the color yellow.

especially when used on this fab floor.

in case you werent aware -

it is officially friday.

thats right, the wait is over. the weekend has so gracefully arrived.

just when you think

that 'post it's cant get any cooler.


the japanese do it again.

muesack.

my fav tunes for the summer:

• phoenix - 'rome'
• santogold - 'creator'
• neil young - 'heart of gold'
• regina spektor - 'blue lips'
  
• sea wolf - 'black dirt'
• sia - 'soon we will be found'

what are your speakers blasting these sunny, summer days?

dont mind

that all the models on this site look like they are twelve.

if you dont look at the faces on these gals, you could find a pretty bangin modest swim suit.

to fedora.

or not to fedora?

*fedora, compliments of urban outfitters.

what are your thoughts? are these caps too trendy or should i budge into my deep desire to own one of these.

looky at

what i found.


sensibly styled.

let me give a little break down: wanna find modest clothes in your price range all in one place? look no further.

you peeps best check it out.

all of these

fancy little things, are under $20 at anthropologie.

bring on the summer sales!

guess who

is back?

oh ed what happened to your career driven mind set - you just had to come back for more didnt you.

is staying?

ah reid, i so want you to pull through. please dont disappoint in the fantasy sweet like lindsay says you will.

wont leave?

when will jillian get a clue and send this dude packing - thats right, feels like never.

*is it just me, or is wes the only one that looks decent in his picture.

not sure

if this is worth the investment, but ooo it is delicious.

picture perfect.

this picture makes me smile.

possibly because i loved the movie 'UP' with ever fiber of my being. and possibly because i can just imagine the stubborn little family that lives here surrounded by sky rise. te he.

nurse it.

i truly adore this nursery.

breathe in the fresh air.

lite breakfast.

friggin sweet - true?

poster child.

happy hump day.

we are half way to the weekend. {not that i am counting}

the pool is calling my name right now. seriously - i can hear it.

sac meets cap.

lets face it, the 'fanny pack' will never be back in style.

however; the 'cap sac' i am thoroughly digging. sun our of your eyes? check. place for your yo-yo and a stick of gum? check and check.



get'em while they are hot.

happily ever after.

i love how refreshing these images are.

as a little girl i dreamed of the happily ever after in the fairy tales, but to be really honest i am so happy that my happily ever after doesn't include seven old men, talking mice, dancing pumpkins, cursed needles, losing my voice or any form of wicked step-mother and potions.

ahh, real life.

hallelujah and amen.

as ashley said best, 'here is to spring cleaning your blog list and google reader!'

coming soon.

pictures from lake powell.

including the thunder storm and the magical waterfalls that followed - get excited people.

someone, please

tell me that you saw the double rainbow last night.

nature never ceases to amaze me.

i am

thoroughly looking forward to the week that i will be spending with the in-laws in lake powell.

t-minus three days until lift off.
here is the plan.

• go exploring with the mr. on the jet ski
• come back with intense tan lines
• play games at night with the best family a girl could ask for
• get some rockin shots of the mr. wakeboarding like a pro
• find lizards with the nephews on the beach
• catch up on the fashion mags and a good book
• watch the stars while falling asleep
  

ahhh - bliss.

old world meets new world.

as you may well know, my interior design tastes tend to lean towards the modern end of the spectrum. however, i cannot neglect to recognize the beauty and intricacy of old world, victorian design. hence, you can imagine my excitement when i discovered this home.

observe. and enjoy.

bee to the burts.

burts bees might just be giving away 1,000 sticks of their lip balm daily for the month of june. {and by 'might' i mean, 'heck yes they are!'}

happy, happy

national doughnut day!

go get your self a fatty, sprinkled, doughy delightful treat and say 'cheers' to doughnuts.

i refuse

to leave my oregon roots behind me.

my drivers license may read utah, but i will always be an oregonian in my heart and mind. {and yes that is how you say it: 'oh-re-go-nee-an'}

no frosting needed.

do ya got a b-day coming up - check it.

delightful - true?

putting this -

- darling project, on my 'to do' list for this week.
