June 2009

had a great weekend, although it did not include that many photos I do have a couple from the week dazzze..

made it a little tradition going to the Green Door Market on Sundays to pick up fresh flowers from next door-these are the second go around and pictures of new ones coming later. maybe.

speaking of fresh, I was walking around our premises and discovered a large black berry bush stocked with ripe-ready-to-go berries! This is the BIGGEST BERRY found,  I zoomed in on Iphoto and you could see the moisture on an individual berry, way cool to have a good camera! after this was taken I ate it immediately and right then all the sweating && burning cuts from the prickly bush were totally worth it.

this is batch one of two, my neighbor picked another 2 cups or so and I washed’em up real good and baked my first pie! Super simple too, I found the recipe ((here))

the second pie crust, used for the top, was kinda gooey and therefore broke apart making it hard to cover so I improvised and attempted to make ‘weaved strips.’ 

ha, turned out ghetto but way Yummy!! especially heated up with vanilla  icecream.

don’t really like this outfit all that much, but am really excited about these sandals. they are a little hard to find things to go with (maybe I’m just over analyzing) but they sure are comfy. This week I plan on celebrating the 4th with my family and catching some ‘healthy’ sun via the lake and my handy dandy SPF. def going to post the latest vintage gear whenever Savannah gets it up on the Ebay store…*cough cough*…

Ps//I was approached by ChickDowntown.com offering another reader give-away…would that be cool? or nay…

It’s Friday! More specifically the 4th Friday of the month which means it’s time for another Castleberry Art Stroll!!! Friends are coming over later for a grill fest ++ bevies, then heading down the street to look at some local’s work. should be fun. Last night we grabbed some grubbage at Slice while listening to a local DJ for a bit before heading over to the Deer Lofts down the road.  Hanging around friends, getting dressed cute, making plans-it’s all so therapeutic. Whenever you find yourself down in the dumps, get glamourous! perhaps you could throw on your craziest dress and twirl around, for example//

This Barbie number//

getting looks from pedestrians is the best part!

 don’t hold back!

never hold back!

before hitting the Candler Park MidSummer Music Fest last weekend Dp and I stopped at a bench outside the grounds for a quick picnic and brewskies (that were left post cook out-score!). the heat was too overwhelming for us, therefor we did not stay long, but the time spent was super fun!

*virginia*

I twisted my hair up in these wacky knots just for something new and fun, while also keeping it off the neck.

I’m wearing H&M tank, vintage skirt from Castleberry Hills Community Yard Sale via the lovely Ms. B at Style Fidelity, necklace pendant purchased in Ocean Beach, Calif. && Sunnies are also vintage//

as for this past week, things have been swell.

 besides the jobless part. although I am working hard, still no luck. 

please keep me in your 

“i feel sorry for the unemployed” thoughts. 

Many nights ago I wore this to grab some drinks with friends and although the sweater tank was a little too thick to tuck in, I did it anyways.  

Green and mustard isn’t a combination I have put much thought into trying out but once I looked at this I said-hm-they do compliment each other well.. 

At only $5.00 (via Urban Outfitters) this nail polish is my new obsession && lasts way long! This bracelet goes so well with the color, I haven’t taken it off either-thanks Emma-again!

Savannah took both above && below photos in between shooting this past week for the Ebay store. This one where I’m holding Tater in the air to play with the fan pulls totally cracked me up!

Choosing an outfit that’s the least suffocating  in the blistering heat-this vintage Christian Dior sweater dress definitely caused some sweat action!

Friday in between grilling && eating I snapped this cute pic of my girl pal Adrienne-who’s tank, new bangs, and pimped out Holga were simply photo worthy.

I am really not feeling all that good tonight so I was just going to leave these random acts of photography for all to enjoy//

AND THE WINNER IS///

Congratulations Girly!

wore my suspender outfit to the Dubstep festi, thought I’d play on the word ‘suspense’ for the announcement of the winner and last weekend’s attire..

&&& share these bad boys too// 

my personal fiddler. 

he was a cool guy until he freaked me out showing his overgrown tumor.

ah!

but we still jammed//

I have a couple dozen photos of the DJs and Dubconscious at Dubocracy and want to share but will save those psychedelic pics for another post all their own..

Thanks again to Chickdowntown.com for allowing me the chance to give back to my readers!!

Have a splendid Thursday night ladies!
