so i've been mulling over the idea of purchasing one of these pets - diana+ camera. {yes, with real film. i know} but i haven't done enough research yet to warrant the purchase. but just take a peek at some of the lovely photos they produce!

thoughts? do you have one? know someone?

lately i've been trying to channel my many styles into just one {or two.} i think i'm falling somewhere in this shabby chic range. i love the light airy feel with just a few pops of bright color. rather than light blue + white... i'm thinking shades of grey and bits of orange. 

and a shabby chic white rug that i've had my eye on may be perfect!

pieces of a weekend...

this weekend went way. too. fast. {per usual} saturday, we started off our downtime with coffee + some shopping. i'm lucky that the bf is a patient shopper when with me :) because of that, i'm the proud owner of this silence + noise tweed blazer and adorable knit hat.

saturday night was spend with friends + sunday has been a day of cleaning, super bowl-ad-watching + other miscellaneous chores.

sunday night has resulted in stressing out about the week ahead, already!

the bf is heading to florida for work tomorrow + i'll be traveling two days this week, also. maybe that means this week will fly...

hope your weekend was lovely.

here's to another crazy five days...

omg, friday... is that you?

feels like a whole month has been jammed packed into this week! friday is finally here! i have no idea what i am doing this weekend + i don't care. i want to eat, drink, sleep, run + catch up on dvr for sure.

we're supposed to be getting 4-6 inches of snow friday night through saturday. 

maybe a snowman is in order?

what are your plans this winter weekend?

{ bff's }

this past weekend, i ventured to chicago to visit my newly relocated friend, erin. {left} and it just so happened that my very best friend since college was in town the exact same weekend! aubrey {middle slash bottom.} needless to say, i had an amazing time. including the photo shoot we had in this phone booth. more {better} pictures to come soon. i am way behind on uploading from the nikon.

weekend consensus: i love chicago. and my friends.

i'm a pretty lucky gal.
