Picture update

It has been a busy couple months and unfortunately the blog was kind of dormant.  so that you're not bored with an unduly explanation I'll make it quick.  The holidays, I think, are hectic for a majority of the world.  As for school, I was maxed out on my credits which meant that finals season was anxiety ridden.  We participated in two craft shows, one being in the middle of December (great timing, i know) and the other was yesterday.  In the middle of it all we had ourselves a mini road trip for a bff's baby shower (which was a fabulous and much needed reunion).  

here are the last few weeks in pictures:

Love the shapes and patterns here. Perfect fall outfit!

Withdrawals

You know how some people have food withdrawals, sometimes even drug withdrawals? Well I get shopping withdrawals. These are just a few off the endless list of wants (NEEDS) for my closet:

My leopard print iphone case needs to be replaced and I think I found the perfect fit.

If I could come back as a food in my next life I would be the coffee cherry that makes up the Starbucks Christmas Blend coffee.  True story.  I (quite shamelessly) have been compulsively asking barista's when the coveted blend will be available but either the date is a secret or they really just don't know.  For now, the beloved blend is only available online but it'll be available in stores soon.

yes, this is from Starbies

Ps. if you're confused about the title, go to Starbucks.

Citrine + Zara

Here are a few of my favorite fall essentials currently at Zara:

World's Hippest Halloween Costume

I haven't decided what to be for Halloween just yet, but if I were an adorable 4 year old, I think this would be it:

Nailed

So my first post is long overdue, but here it is! I'm about to paint my nails and this is my inspiration:

you will soon learn more about my love for black + glitter.

I love Ludwig

One of my favorite pieces of architecture. 

Completed in 1951, the Farnsworth House took 5 years to complete, its architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is responsible for creating some of the most beautiful (in my eyes) iconic modern designs.

Recognize this chair?  (Barcelona Chair) Yep, it's his design too, believe it or not (believe it) it's older than the house.  

Jack is One!

Thunder, tornados, and leaky roofs.  These are the things we were facing on the morning of Jack's first birthday party (which was practically two weeks ago,  but I've been working on a life-consuming paper).  You see, the party was originally supposed to be held near our house at a lovely park on the bay in a historic coral shelter.  The only problem was, the weather.

Just one of the leaks

The picture makes the rain look better than what it was,
the entire area was a humid, muddy, watery schlop

 With no other choice, the party HAD to happen one way or another, we relocated the festivities to our house.  The challenge was the space since we had not anticipated the move (and were in slight denial about the forecasted rain).  We had a mere 3 hours to prepare everything + get ourselves ready, to say we hustled is an understatement.  With Christie's quick thinking (& some yelling) she laid out the new floor plan and assigned everyone a task (being the oldest sibling, she's been preparing for this role her whole life...love you C (=  )
