midnight in paris

We went and saw midnight in paris last week and all I can say is wow. It's rare that I get the feeling of "I am going to fall in love with this movie" while watching it, but it happened during this. This movie captures paris in a way that no other film has (and I've seen a LOT of films of paris). Go and see it. Your eyes will thank you.

exotic celebration

The one thing I love about summer is having outdoor parties. It's (slightly) cooler out. There's lightning bugs fluttering around and you can hear the crickets. We need to have a gathering soon.

wanderlust

These photos and videos from chance are making me want to go to a secluded cottage by the sea. I just did an outdoor art festival this Saturday from 10-7 in 95 degree heat! And as if that wasn't enough for me I went to my husband's baseball game yesterday (with no shade) for four hours. Someone turn down the sun. I need to go on vacation...soon...

hair dilema

I like to change my hair a lot. For the past 5 1/2 years I've been a redhead and was blonde most of my life up until then. (a brief summer of magenta, a day of temporary black and brunette for about 6 months) Lately I've been toying with the idea of going back to blonde. I know I will eventually, but I'm not sure if I'm ready yet. I also don't know what to do with my bangs. We have a love/hate relationship. (the hate usually comes when it's time for a trim...)

Maybe I should just go really light blonde/red...I can't decide.

Curios

Loving these amazing pieces by artist Lyndie Dourthe.

polaroid black

After several weeks of not posting or photographing. I finally took some shots with my new black frame polaroid film. (which I love) Why didn't they do this ages ago? The black just makes everything more striking. Now I need to play with the new color film.

home updates

As promised, here are the photos of our recent updates. We painted all three rooms and changed around the artwork. I also made new curtains for the living room and we finally got my grandmother's antique chairs upholstered. They're a little short so I'm not sure how we're going to fix that, but we'll manage. Doesn't the vase my friend made go perfectly? He didn't even know we were redoing anything.
