August 2009

myself and ashleigh getting ready to float down the chilly Chattahoochee//

dusty getting a head start, ‘hey, wait on us!’

this lady duck kept begging off us until I threw her a couple chips, literally going upstream to try and get a bite. too funny!

cheers to cold ass water, cheap ass beer, weird ass swinger parties in the woods and completing a 4 1/2+ hour float without getting hyerthermia ((well only the beginning stages)) oh AND not loosing the float on the roof tied down with a purse strap and mp3 cord. HA. 

everything was fine and dandy when we had beers warming and cheering us up but as soon as those 12 were consumed. very early. we were bitter about not knowing the water stays about 50-60 degrees ROUND YEAR. and paddled ourselves down river as quickly as possible with our shoes. ugh. great experience nonetheless!

one more cheers to the laziest Sunday ev. 

barely made it to the vows but by God, we did!

sneaky pic of the newly weds seconds after exchange of vows.

Grubbage!

Kelsey, Bride, and I

her dress was so lovely! she seemed to have a lot of fun wearing it as well.

the Yacht Club was decked out (no pun intended!) in nautical artifacts, including these boat windows that made you feel like you were ‘under the sea’. 

**totally singing the Little Mermaid song. . .**

enjoyed this photo of ladies (that may or may not be Alabama alumni. .) hanging around the Yacht Club circa 1970something. . . 

such a pretty bride, and that bouquet smelled sooooo good!

i would really love to own these vintage chairs as well as every photo here-they were great! full of lots of stylish ladies.

couldn’t resist the bag pipes. 

such a fun wedding! ended with an after party at The Booth which in turn ended at the toilet bowl. head first. eh. damn open bar. regardless, memorable.

I would totally wait to talk about this but really I can’t. .  on Tuesday I modeled for the Atlanta Photographers Guild and had a total blast. Sorta freaked myself in the days leading to but it was no sweat at all, and all the photographers were amazingly talented! about 45 or so photos have been uploaded to the account but I wanted to see all the outfits/photos before choosing the ones to post here. real excited!

ok well my fingers are throbbing after a super long day of work, on the computer and shiz.

g’night!

hello all! hope last week was good for you, it was  especially nice for me as it ended with an STS9 bash with friends from home at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater ((Saturday)). Not only did Tribe headline but there was also performances by Ghostland Observatory, Bassnectar, Lotus, Dubconsious and more!! man was it fun! I didn’t take but a couple pics on the disposable cam but getting two of those developed this week so will def be sharing what I discover.  Aside from the shows wanted to share some recent outfits, nothing too fancy. .but all involve one mustard purse I just can’t leave the house without. . .seeing as how I recently bought a new vintage bag AND an Elliot Luca number you won’t be seeing it AS much :))

//the house is cleaned, friends on the road and the honey and I are laying around after a yummy breakfast at the West Egg && checking out some loft furniture over at Room & Board and Direct on Howell Mill. How I wish I had a fat savings account to get some awesome new gear for the house. . .def makes me want to save. . which is the hardest thing to do. 

Have a fabulous Sunday, savor the hours until work starts once a/g/a/i/n. . .

check out Natalie Woods jewelry collection via The Selby! ! ! the cloud necklace is too cute.

and her awesome bejeweled high tops!  

photo of Nylon magazine//i found this spread to be very inspiring.

more of Natalie’s place, the cat mobile is adorable. . and the A. Wang scarf *in black* is something i’ve coveted for a long time. . 

i can tell by her jewelry collection, as well as the other photos on The Selby, we could totally be friends. . too bad she resides in Australia. .

another page from the most current Nylon, which by the way has Sienna on the cover, lovin this hat, reminds me of Stevie Nicks circa 1972. 

here’s my jewels///a collection that started as early as kindergarden 

four left most pieces are from rock & mineral shows, big Geode (d. blue guy) is from my days living in Montana (k-2nd grade), pretty blue calcite (right front) is a gift from Susan found in Rhode Island, shells were found by me, as well as granite in back-found in New Hampshire.

coral-in back-found in Key West, geode pieces from rock and mineral show, amethyst from University of Alabama’s Geology dept. photo is my mom in 1980.

Friday was Susan’s wedding at the Yacht Club in Tuscaloosa, which turned out to be beautifully decorated in all the nautical artifacts you can imagine (the yacht club, not necessarily her wedding which was supposed to be outdoors-but unfortunately was rained out. . didn’t make a difference to me, i thought it was lovely) There was a great sunset, upbeat band, l/o/t/s of finger foods, shrimp & grits station, open premium bar, && familiar faces. We danced it up and then went to The Booth for a separate hoedown. Saturday we went out for breakfast and then hit up the lake with my mom and Gracie (the new pup). Tasted some of my brothers home brew and grilled out, thats about when dp and I passed out at 7 and didn’t wake till this morning at 8am our time. ha. i don’t consider it a wasted night as i probably needed the rest more than anything. obviously. 

I wish there was a sweet robot that could replace me when I don’t feel like working and/or changing the litterbox. . .  

Exactly like above.

the top one is probably my fav but any would suffice.
