A Lost Feather: Sunny Days Ahead

6.13.2011

Boo and I had a lovely weekend filled with visitors and homecomings. My cousin Kate and her boyfriend Will came to stay with me for the weekend and my sister, Marissa is back home for summer vacation as of yesterday. Before I knew about my visitors, I thought the weekend was going to be a lonely one, but it ended up being a wonderful time.

We ran outside in the sun until it rained and wore our red heart-shaped sunglasses with pride. We sat at a picnic table and painted, wrote, read and did our nails with sparkly polish. We watched movies and laughed until we fell asleep. We went grocery shopping for buttery popcorn, milkduds, cookies and summery beer. We supported local restaurants and enjoyed delicious dinners, wine and better conversations recounting family memories.

I always have such a great time with Kate and Will.. I'm so glad they were able to spend some time with me this weekend. They live only a short distance away in Brooklyn, but sometimes when life gets in the way, those 15 miles seem like thousands.

Now it's time to get back into swing of things.. but since Marissa is here enjoying her summer vacation and my California trip is coming up in 5 days- that miiight be easier said than done...

In other news..

..my friend Gentri features a "blogger of the week" every week on her blog and this week I was honored to be the feature! She is super sweet and adorable and her blog is gorgeous and really fun. I'll have a guest post up there sometime this week, so I'll be sure to let you know about it if you'd like to seeee, but I definitely recommend you hop over and say "hi" to Gentri, because shhhheee is super awesome.

OH! It's also her birthday today and she is having a reallllly fantastic giveaway! Yay! Happy Birthday Gentri!

Boo is absolutely the most gorgeous doggie. Ever.

I had to have a little giggle at Kate and Will, that's like a fairytale romance ;).

Glad that your weekend turned out so awesome and that your sister, Marissa is home, I know that makes you happy!!

Take care special lady x

cutest. dog. ever. love this. thrilled I stumbled upon your blog. I'm following, I hope you will as well. I started my blog a little over 3 months ago after graduating from college in the south and moving across the country to LA. The site's all about celebrity fashion from the point of view of an LA stylist. I'd love if if you'd stop by to see multiple post a day on all the latest celebrity fashion news. Any support would be awesome. Thanks love. xoxo

Ahh! This video is the sweetest thing ever! Boo is so patient and chic in those glasses. My dog would look at me like I was tripping out of my mind if I came at her with heart shaped sunnies. :-)
