hello world

i am alive. i apologize for my weekly blogging droughts - work has been exhausting & by the time i get home, i'm more than ready for tv time with B.

currently obsessed with:

{adding a little glitter to your ring finger nail}

{this bcbg pleated maxi skirt}

{these elizabeth & james eyeglasses}

i literally cannot wait for fall fashion.

dying to wear amazing jackets, wide-leg trousers, faux fur, leather boots & booties.

plus whatever else that fantastic season brings!

however, this morning i'm up early & ready to enjoy a sunshine-filled day with my girlies! recently, i've most enjoyed waking up by 7:30 on saturdays, my husband does not understand it the least bit. there's something rewarding about having a load of laundry finished by 8:15. hey, the early bird gets the worm, right?

currently, i'm sitting on our patio, overlooking the town of delafield, enjoying a very large bowl of cheerios. it's a beautiful morning - the church bell just rang (signaling 8:30), birds are chip-chirping at each other and those late-summer cicadas have made their arrival. my mama most always has a cup of coffee on the front porch this time of year; i can still remember the feel of the cool concrete on my toes while sitting next to her as a child. i love memories like that.

{side note: those cicadas remind me of going back to school - yuck. yet, they also remind me of this time last year when B & i were planning the last details of our wedding - yum.}

speaking of wedding, i just received great news from our photographer (krakora studios) that our wedding is going to be featured on Style Me Pretty! i'm totally jazzed - will keep you posted on details!

this afternoon, i'm making the trek back to madison for a pool day with two of my best girls - molly & krystle. i can't wait for lots of laughter & lots of sunshine! 

xo.

f to the r-i-d-a-y!

happy friday dolls! wahoo!

did everyone have a good week? is it just me, or does it seem like it's monday and then suddenly friday? husband & i were talking about that last night - 

about how quickly your life passes you by. 

so, enjoy every single second.

{us then}

{us now}

isn't it crazy how much you can change as a person in just a few years! ahh!

cahhh-razzyyyy!

my latest obsession is ordering fabulous clothes found on eBay.

{thanks to ashley of 12:34 wishes}

shhh. don't tell my husband. ;)

i'll post pix when they arrive.

have a fabulous weekend! 

love.

road trip!

weekend activity: road trip to indiana!

my sissy & her boyfriend moved to indiana this weekend, so we went along for the ride!

{husband helped with the loading & unloading, 

while mama and i lent a hand with the unpacking}

there's something about setting up a home that makes me all fuzzy inside!

although i will miss them dearly, their new place is adorable & i wish them nothing but happiness! xo m&t!

on a side note, it's hotter than you-know-what here. i attempted to catch a few rays today, but i think heat stroke was about to set in after 10 minutes. fail.

due to the heat, husband & i will be enjoying an ice cream treat tonight. after all, it is national ice cream day, {i promise i didn't make that up}. i think we're going to try this ice cream shop - has anyone been?

stay cool!

treasure hunting

happy belated 4th to all.

oh! hello there!

I may quite possibly be the worst blogger ever. Please do accept my apologies. I seem to be more absent than present.

I started my gig at Kohl's Corporate Photo Studio yesterday. Ahhh-mazing but stresssssssful as well {my main reason for ditching you}. I got to sit in on part of a shoot today and let me tell you, I was totally jazzed.

Check it

I can hardly believe this weekend is 4th of July! We're heading North with our families - can't wait to chill in my bathing suit & very little makeup, while catching up on a great read. Now, if only the weather will cooperate.

I'm off to make some home (cough, cough) made spaghetti for Mr. B. 

Whattup Wild Harvest Organic pre-made pasta sauce; sometimes that's as close to homemade as it gets. Hey, at least it's organic.

xo dolls.

oh my

I've neglected you, my little blogsters. The past 10 days have been caaahhh-razzzyyy & I don't even have photos to prove it. weird. 


Oh wait! I did hi-jack this little gem from Miss Sara:

{Sara came visiting this week. If you're ever in Delafield - check out Zin. Amazeballs.}

I start my new job at Kohl's Corporate on Monday & I'm super duper excited! 

Creative environment, awesome company & I'm in!

Watch for my work in the upcoming Kohl's Catalog - errr...maybe not quite yet.

Hope you're having a lovely evening, dolls!

I cross my heart I'll post more often.

xo.
