It makes me so happy when Alex joins me in my remix picture every once in awhile. :) On this day, we went for a walk around the lake, and to the boys' place to babysit the kitty. Then we stopped for a few groceries and made yummy tuna sandwiches with lettuce and tomato and ate watermelon from our CSA. Then we spend all night lounging around and watching Star Trek Voyager episodes on Netflix (our latest obsession)! I love relaxing summer days like this.

Guys, here are some of the delicious recipes I have been making recently with our weekly CSA share from Turnip Rock! My favorite place to look up recipes is the Smitten Kitchen, but some are from elsewhere on the web as well. All of the fruits, veggies, and herbs have come from our share, can you believe it?! Oh what a delicious summer it has been, and this is just the beginning!

Fresh Green Garlic Pesto with Blanched Fresh Broccoli over Linguine

I love these images of teenagers in the woods, with flower crowns and flowing white dresses. Is there some way that I can justify spending the last few days of summer lounging around like this?






They are made even better knowing that they were shot by SIXTEEN year old photographer Ann He! Whats with me and all of these super young photographers lately? Via Cat Party

About to go out to drinks with the hubby and my sister, who you might have guessed by the title, lives in the suburbs. I decided to dress a little fancy, pulling out the long skirt, and tying a blouse at the waist (I havent done that since middle school!). I was inspired to pair these two things by a street style picture on the Sartorialist? but Ill have to look it up for you later. Its so weird, I usually pin that kind of thing on my pinterest!

Anywho, here's my FASHION POSE and a close up of the blouse-tied-at-the-waist. Cant wait to go sit out on a gigantic patio complete with man-made pond and FOUNTAIN in a bit, it is actually tolerable outside today! Laterrrr.

I mentioned it awhile back, But I won a contest to Golden Fur Vintage's shop via Calivintage! And I am embarrassed to be posting outfit photos of my winnings just now. HOWEVER, I can totally see myself wearing this little striped sweater a lot more as soon as cooler weather rolls around. And I fell in love with the wicker and leather purse as soon as I saw it!

Here is the little sweater two ways, which is something I have been meaning to do more often on the blog lately. One for summer with clogs and the wicker purse, and one with my new favorite sheer dress and wedges, to dress it up a bit.
