yet here i am. trying to get back into the swing of things after spending four lovely days in one of my favorite cities. we arrived home yesterday afternoon – to piles of dirty laundry and an empty fridge. sigh. i thought the maid would’ve had everything taken care of, but then i remembered…we are the maid.
i hope everyone had a nice thanksgiving! i’ll share more photos soon.

among the many many MANY vintage shops on etsy, dear golden vintage is by far one of my faves.
lauren has impeccable taste and finds some of the most spectacular dresses, purses, shoes and other vintage items. please visit her shop! you’ll fall in love with her new spring and summer dresses.
she also has a blog! tune in here.
a few weeks ago, she posted some new items and i immediately zeroed in on one particular piece. it had to be fate. and after a 2 minute battle of should i, shouldn’t i? …i caved in and purchased this ah-mazing vintage necklace…
isn’t it perfect?! and look! …it’s turquoise, too. my fave.
so…here’s how i wore it.
i’ll have you know that the grey, tweed blazer i’m wearing was also a pretty dope find. it was a bday gift from my pals ashley and steph! they purchased it on…you guessed it…etsy. from seller cordelia diderot. it’s a bit too teeny tiny – i can’t lift my arms very high when wearing it and my armpits go numb after 20 mins…but who gives a rat’s ass…that’s what we endure for fashion. duh.

dark skinnies – soto, westlake village ca

purse – nine west (thrifted)
FYI…all photos were taken by WrW at the mission in san francisco. my son, as a 4th grader, is required to visit one of the california missions. now he has to write a report on it and build a smaller version. i have more pictures of that trip, but plan to save them for another post.
now go visit dear golden vintage!! i’m pretty sure you need a new easter dress. :)

hi friends!
i hope everyone had a great weekend…i sure did! in fact, i’m dying to provide you with a weekend post, but the pics are on WrW’s camera and we’ve been too busy and live too far apart to make a quick exchange. speaking of living too far apart…maybe not for long!! we’ve actually been looking at places…which means we’re gearing up for a “move-in”! he found a place that he’s so smitten with…it has wood floors, a big yard, white picket fence…i am not kidding, that’s for REALZ…2 bedroom/2 bath, nice kitchen, i think maybe a fireplace, etc… i’m excited! hopefully i’ll get to see it tomorrow, as we’re heading to SF on friday morning. yay! it’s hands down one of my fave cities. my son has to do a mission project this year and he chose the san francisco mission. i’m sure we’ll visit a few museums and stroll around the city, as well. it’ll be nice to get away. (and no, i most definitely did NOT persuade him to choose that mission…) wink wink
anyway, all this busy talk means that i won’t have much time for posts this week, but i’m here, keeping up with my faves and letting ya’ll know that i’ve updated the shop.
see ya!
