yes

this weekend is supposed to be GORGEOUS and I'm planning on enjoying every drop of sunshine and every blade of grass as I walk winter away. Enjoy yours as well!

reinvented vinyl

are these just the coolest? okay, okay...not to the grocery store or schlepping the kids to school ...but if you're out and about and want that great accessory and showstopper. I know I had the Madonna album and I've been told more than once the resemblance to Carly and who can forget their crush on Rick Springfield?
From Reinvented Vinyl's etsy profile:
"A few years ago, I begin the arduous process of constructing a purse from a castoff record album. Many trials, tribulations, bad designs and hours in consultation with friends and family later -- ReInvented Vinyl was born. Giving birth to a child was easier.
Like most Wonder Women, I construct purses part time, squeezing out one purse at a time in my studio. There are never enough hours in the day. "They are hard to make!" said my friend Kim O'Neill. "You are the Master of the Obvious," I replied. But I forge on, in hopes that like-minded Wonder Women will see, appreciate, and BUY my record album purses on Etsy."
Which one would you get?

hello eight weeks

I'm going to the doctor's today for (hopefully) my final x-rays on my foot. If all goes according to plan; my left foot will be back in business. My pedicure is all set for Friday...yes!

Santa Cruz Spring Break

We met in Santa Cruz to throw a baby shower but who knew we would have so much fun on the boardwalk? It was the perfect place for a Dressing On The Side photo shoot (also perfect in that the rides were not open as of yet; no swarms of cotton candy fist filled sweaty people; and no missing teeth carnies were around...not saying that all carnivals have missing teeth carnies...but I'm just sayin).

back in the groove

we loves us some spring break around here...the only flaw is that you have to bounce back into reality after a late flight and an early alarm. We'll give you more details later but one word=wonderful.

is it time yet?

We actually do have a bunny or two in our yard so if we're going by "rabbit time" I'm assuming that spring might be close at hand. We're off for California so take care of yourselves while I'm gone...talk soon!

more is more

It's over the top. It's too much. It's all those things... and it's mine. I'm a sucker for vintage pieces and when you throw them all together on a necklace...I die. It's not a wear it all day piece--it's heavy--but it's such a conversation starter, I couldn't resist. From Raquel Castillo.
