Yo Vintage!

• check out the fun shop Yo Vintage! It is filled with fun and fabulous vintage clothing and accessories. I love this sequin jacket, this blue ruffle dress, this linen dress, and this cozy chunky knit sweater. 

• a tuxedo, a sparkler and Jenny from the Block -- now that's a party. 

• Amanda Brooks' family home in the Adirondacks takes my breath away. Brooks look like a ten in that L. L. Bean flannel shirt, those Sorel boots and that cozy Thakoon fur vest. (Vogue)

Chanel Spring 2011

• my favorite -- Black Pearl. 

• the little fish with the goggles is my sister Angie, and that bald headed chunker is my brother Michael who turns the big 1-6 today. Look out world -- our littlest boy is getting behind the wheel and heading most likely to the nearest ice cream shop. Happy birthday Mikey... may the next sixteen be filled with more tennis trophies than you can fit on your shelf.

• a very Merry Missouri Christmas. 

"When you’re a kid, it’s simple. Christmas is magic. It’s a time of miracles, when reindeer can fly, and Frosty never melts. Then you get older. Somehow, things change. The magic begins to fade. Until something happens that reminds you, at Christmas time… miracles still can be found. Sometimes in the most unexpected places"

the wonder years (via crepusculum)

"The great moments of your life won’t necessarily be the things you do. They’ll also be the things that happen to you. Now, I’m not saying you can’t take action to affect the outcome of your life. You have to take action. And you will! But never forget, that on any day, you could step out the front door, and your whole life could change forever. You see the Universe has a plan kids; and that plan is always in motion. A butterfly flaps its wings, and it starts to rain. It’s a scary thought, but it’s also kind of wonderful. All these little parts of the machine constantly working… Making sure that you end up exactly where you’re supposed to be.. exactly when you’re supposed to be there. 
The right place. At the right time."

“While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was going to be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you and I never told you ‘til just now.”
