a year ago this weekend, mark and i attended the malibu arts festival – 1.  to enjoy the event itself, but 2.  because mark was in desperate need of a job and a friend of mine {who was working the event} knew of a sales position with the malibu chamber of commerce.  as we walked up and down the aisles, admiring the work of local artists and businesses, she explained the position to mark – he’d be in charge of ad space and membership sales, also acting as the executive director’s right hand man.  sounds good…we’ll take it!  in a matter of days, the job was his.

flash forward to this weekend…long story, short – the previous executive director was let go and mark is now “acting” executive director.  this year, the arts festival is his event.  my husband is the boss.  and i am so unbelievably proud of him.  he’s worked long hours, late nights and although we haven’t seen him much this weekend, the event appears to be a big success.

and there are perks to being the boss’s wife – like not paying the $10 parking fee….

yeah, i’m a pretty big deal.

well hello there, friday.

how nice of you to join us…

’bout time.

(these plants need some tlc.)

as you can see…i don’t really have much to say today.

i can’t figure it out.

literally, there are no words.  my mind is blank!

ahhhh!

i can tell  you about my weekend…

tonight – photographing a shit ton of items for the shop.  hopefully i’ll have it updated by sunday.
saturday – call me crazy, but i’m going into the office.  they offered overtime and mama needs a new pair of shoes.  cha.ching.
afterwards, i’m headed down to san diego until sunday…to hang with my dad and stepmom.  looking forward to getting away and relaxing.

and you?  big plans?  what’s the haps?

i’m wearing…
cardigan – urban outfitters
striped crop tank – thrifted
necklace – thrifted
scarf/belt – urban outfitters (from 3 or 4 years ago)
skirt – vintage, thrifted
wedges – vintage, etsy

two things…

1.  i’ve decided that i love this skirt so much, why not style it at least once a week?  it’s just so versatile.  and since i’m not ready for a major remix challenge…this will help me get my feet wet.

2.  for those of you who think that long skirts are unflattering…you’re wrong.  long skirts are the new black, so get one and try it out.  and if you’re still unsure…read my suggestions on how to wear them, here.

just my 2 cents.  haha!  literally.  get it…because i said “two things”…?

anyway, i wish you all a wonderful weekend!
