ninety nine cent dress

saturday was pretty... and a little breezy

went to Maya for the first time in a long time... i love that store. was in desperate need of nag champa (my favorite incense) and finally replaced my hoops that broke over a year ago :) i am a hoop grrl :)

ate homemade sandwiches in the car

got some really strong iced coffees at starbucks

my outfit shots didn't really work in this lighting, but i still think it's pretty.
i got this dress at a vintage shop that is down the street from my house... it's not really expensive, but definitely no salvation army. but they do have a 99cent rack in the front to attract customers... and this is where i found this dress. yes! 99 cents! it did need a bit of mending, but now it's ready to rock the spring. and i think it was made to wear with this blouse (which made it's debut in my last post)... what a find, huh? this combo makes me feel like a grrl from the 30s...
swoon

and this necklace was given to me by my momma when i was a wee thang... i love it... i normally am not into dainty things... but i love this little three jade heart necklace ♥

well, i'm off to do some sewing...

oh, i'm gonna have my 1st ever giveaway this week, so check back!

venus as a boy

on sunday we took a walk through cal tech.... it is one of my favorite strolls... sooo pretty and right now there are lots of flowers.

these pictures don't do it just, but the architecture is beautiful... and there are turtles and squirrels everywhere...





i loved this chair sitting in the middle of the grass

kinda funny, i had bjork in my head... so i pulled up some videos... this is one of my favorite songs and look our hair matches ♥ i've been wearing my hair like this for years every time it is in an in between length...

off to lala land

we do a lot of wandering.
the best of times, we stumble across hidden treasures, eat yummy food and drink great coffee.... the worst of times, we aimlessly try to find all of the above and end up grumpy because we need food or caffeine. today wasn't the worst, but it did include a lot of traffic and watery coffee.... errr

but i'm loving the weather....

and i always have tomorrow.

gonna get in bed and curl up with my new pillow and a book :)
