It’s the beginning of another new week! Mondays almost always make me feel helpless, like I’ve got so much to do and haven’t accomplished as much as I expected. By Friday, this feeling fades into the very back and is replaced by excitement and whimsy.
This week, I really do have a lot to do to prepare for vacation (yay!!!!) starting Sunday. Emails to write, projects to wrap up, plans to make, packing to do. I hope your week is starting nicely.
I love, love, love this photo. It’s been a rough week, don’t we all deserve a weekend? The weather should be beautiful and even though it’s hot, it’s still Summer! I have a friend’s birthday to celebrate, dinners to go to, a house to fix up and plenty of New Orleans music to listen to as Sunday is the 5th anniversary of Katrina. It’s hard to believe! I flew out on the very last flight. The Saints were on my plane…
I hope you have a wonderful weekend with at least a little celebration.
The second night in a row without air conditioning and I feel like a crazy person. I am officially ready for cooler weather!

Ready or not, Monday arrives every week. This week, I was not quite prepared. “One more day,” I seem to always plead with no one in particular. Thoughts of going back to bed and the beach (two weeks!) are filling my head but in the meantime, my to-do list must be attended to…Here’s hoping your weekend was wonderful and your week has gotten off to a great start.

It’s a new week. I’m having trouble letting go of the weekend. I had too much sun & too much food and I’m paying for it today. This week it’s still so hot and we’ve got to spend most of it moving.
Love this look:
And this one…
And adore this one:
Daydreaming of this backyard:

It’s the beginning of the month and the week for all of us. It’s the beginning of a new house and a new year for me. Sometimes that can feel tiresome and old-hat but hopefully it is refreshing and exhilarating. For my 25th birthday, I gave myself a diet as a present. It wasn’t exactly fun getting here (no processed foods, no drinking, no starches/sugars) but I’m reaping the benefits now (rediscovering my closet/cheekbones). I hope to take the past four weeks of restricted eating into consideration as the diet ends. My goal is to appreciate food more, to spend time discovering recipes, spices, cooking, chewing, smelling and savoring. As much as I’d love to dive into a stack of pancakes and devour a pizza, I’m really craving things like eggs, avocados and cheese. Hopefully the beach in a month will keep my motivation up!
Between packing, moving, lease-signing and dieting as well as packing/moving boyfriend. I’ve managed to fit in my real job, a little daydreaming and the sporadic wish-list update for the new place. Last night, after I stripped my entire bathroom down, organized and filled two tall kitchen bags with trash…I was beat. Unfortunately, my mind didn’t exactly follow suite. I got about two hours of sleep (and a 3am bath). Needless to say, my wagon is dragging. But it’s still a super exciting time and the weekend is swiftly approaching.
PS: I got my dream bar cart yesterday at a lovely vintage mall that I’ve never been into before (why?). It’s called The Flying Dog and they have some really interesting and fun things. Umm bar cart was $35, I felt like I was robbing them! I also got a vintage cream croc clutch for $5. Below – the bar cart – in all it’s glory (in the store). It’s black, it has wheels and it folds.
Good morning! The end of the week always brings a certain vigorous lust for life, if you will. I’m feeling enamored with the whole concept of the “weekend” even though I need to spend it packing and cleaning. Alas, I’m sure I’ll be able to fit in some pool time and DD-ing. Right now I’m…
