happy birthday paw paw!

the big FIVE OH! i can hardly believe it!

you da man.

lgn + nate.

do you read little green notebook? if not, you should.

her design aesthetic is fab + super inspiring.

she did a post on nate berkus last week.

i'm obsessed with this mirror.

scarlet harlot.

emma stone is perfection.

go see.

today's goal.

i'm on a mission to get

my bedroom space under control.

bleh.

bb.

took a quick trip to big bear for a little sleepover.

the mountain road was VERY windy (barf) but the

views and fresh air were glorious!

how did you spend your weekend?

waiting for superman.

catching up on oprah again.

education in america. scary.

have you heard about/seen this film?

discuss.

bachelorettes + napkin heads.

most of you in mormon land have probably heard

about my girl aubs and her bachelorette escapades.

if you haven't, catch up here.

my dearest dusty was date #6 in aubrey's search for love.

oh. em. gee. pretty much the best date ever televised.

and the follow up is just as good.

"i'm being held against my will."

so classic, so dusty.

for more dirty details on the date to end all dates, go here.

oprah's on.

it's her final season.

i'm determined to watch every episode.

are you watching?

semi unexplainable.

i'm obsessed with bruno mars.

he's adorable + very talented.

and his newest single is oh so sweet.

yup...obsessed.

powell.

headed to lake powell for the week.

i'm a first timer. suuuuper excited.

looking forward to:

road trippin' (again)

hiking

games (water + board)

kickin' it with this gal

reading reading reading

napping

dance party-ing

memory making

bring it on, lake powell.

bring. it. on.

boobs legsly.

so i've been pretty neglectful of fashion week this year.

neither the time, nor the inclination right now i guess.

but i DO have time to pull a GG and gossip about the fact that

everyone is heralding blake lively as fashion week's it girl.

really, fashion week? really, anna wintour? REALLY?!

i mean, those legs ARE amazing but c'mon now.

blake lively's "sense of style" is SNORE.

boring.

boring-er.

boring-est + totally dated + so NOT stylish.

the best part of blake acting as the fashion world's

little pet these days, is it gives m'peeps over at

go fug yourself plenty of material to work with.

in their world, she's known as boobs legsly.

if the shoe fits, wear it on the runway.

now, if you don't mind, i'm switchin' from haterade

to diet coke for the remainder of the evening.

only nice + positive things to say about blake from here on out.

promise.

her legs ARE great.

glamping.

the ladies of sc5 are kickin' it old school and headed

to girls camp this weekend. honestly, i'm not much of a camper.

i'll be meetin' up with them a little after the kickoff festivities

but better late than never, right?

looking forward to:

+ road trippin' with this girl

+ becoming one with nature

+ camping food (tinfoil dinners. duh.)

+ giggling with m'sc5 ladies into the wee hours

+ craftin' it up girls camp style

nothin' like "roughin' it" to bring people together.

i'll let you know how it goes.

pray for me.
