Zara Wishlist
I may have mentioned my intense love/hate relationship with stores like Zara and H&M. While I love them dearly, I am prohibited from shopping them because of where I live (yes, Arkansas). Happily, I will be going to Dallas next weekend to visit my wonderful Aunt Ann. She is always amenable to shopping with me and has taken me to the loveliest little vintage shops. This time I’m going prepared…with a shopping list…for Zara!

Valentino, deer & other things.
I’ve discovered a website to adore: gofugyourself.com has me all excited. On another note and discovered via the fug girls, is it possible that Valentino really looks like this?
Over the weekend I went to South Arkansas with my bf. It was a good trip. His family is lovely and rather un-crazy so it’s always nice to see them. This particular weekend we went to the hunting camp and yours truly happened to witness two large bucks (the deer with the antlers for those of us unfamiliar) “locked-up” in the throes of some sort of Planet Earth-worthy altercation. I was rather proud that I chose to wear knee-high flat boots (thanks forever21!) as I sauntered through the forest hoping to get a look at the Bambi’s daddies/hoping to find a nearby tree if there was any chance of getting skewered. Boyfriend and I were a little behind the action but we did catch glimpses and in the end, the bucks were freed with the help of a 12-foot chainsaw, only an antler and an eyeball were lost…and there’s a video…to be posted shortly.
Swept Away
Let’s you & me head to the beach? Before it gets really chilly…
Sounds good, huh?

On The Water
In Fayetteville, it’s bikes, blues and barbecue season. While I love the event for our small city’s economy. I don’t so much love living next door to all the ripping and roaring of the bikes. Today I’m rather wishing that my beau and I were going somewhere magical for the weekend, maybe sailing?

Going on Holiday
The day I’ve been waiting for is nearly here. Starting Sunday, my boyfriend and I are going on holiday for five whole nights and six whole days. The beach! I’m not bringing my computer… I may not even turn on my phone… There could be a sporadic post but honestly I doubt it. I do hope you’ll come back upon my return – Monday 9/13. I’ll leave you with some goodies while I’m gone. Have a lovely holiday weekend!

A Holiday
We booked a trip to the beach! My first holiday with my wonderful beau. I can’t wait to put my feet in the sand. Much to come about outfit preparation…
For now, I’m just giddy and smiling about a week off and lots of sun/kisses/relaxation.
Below is where we are going!

A few lovely things
I have been inundated with new and intriguing things all day today! I am so excited to share…
A yummy new sushi place in Fayetteville: Meiji. Their spicy crab salad ($5) changed my life today! They use only fresh ingredients – mostly local – and are very reasonable!
Adorable pieces from Maude Shoppe, most under $100!
A very cute new blog: Harper and Harley
A really exciting workout recommendation. The Brazilian Butt Lift. It’s by the same people as P90x. Apparently the models use it to get in shape before runway shows. Is this worth trying?
Two SUPER cute guides to NOLA. I love them because they are recommending places that are actually great. I know because I’ve been to them! The Perty South and The Comeback Kid. Seriously, who doesn’t love New Orleans?
