i'm liking these lots.

alice + olivia.

i'm truly obsessed with this look, from the perfect bun to the amaaazing glasses.

fluevog.

i've never really come across a fluevog shoe that i had to have. they look cute on other people, but generally just aren't quite right for me. these (top and bottom), though, are doing a pretty job convincing me that maybe i should own a pair.

getaway girl: turks and caicos islands.

i think we might all be in need of a little beach getaway. you agree, right? who's made the trip to these islands before? i love beach trips — where doing nothing is the only thing on the to-do list.

the more photos i see, the more convinced i need to make it happen. take a look at that water. i thought these fuchsia tones would complement those blue-greens nicely.

have a perfect weekend, friends.

*ha! just realized why this suit seems so familiar — it's an old favorite. forgive me for that.

the lake & stars.

hello! i am still alive. you'll be glad to know that i am done moving. it was just up the street, but i'll tell you what... it was awful. really, really awful.

after going through SO MUCH stuff, i'm certain that this greedy girl has to tone it down and keep it simple.

and the weight! don't even get me started about how awful it was to walk up and down my stairs, carrying boxes and furniture, with an extra 60 pounds on me. again: really, really awful.

so, i kind of can't wait to streamline my belongings — and my body, too. who knew a move could be such a wake-up call?

until i get back into the swing of things, i thought i'd leave you with something pretty and simple. i'll be back friday for getaway girl and hopefully a little more. fingers crossed!

p.s. i kind of love you all for sticking with me these past couple weeks. really.
