around the web :: 30.10.2015

ah! it's been crazy around here, but I have a few little things to share this week from around the interwebs. (:

I am in love with these sparkly and tulle dresses. too bad they're not in adult sizes! (;

I still want to visit this {sort of fake} Prada store.

this photoshoot is so cute and such a great idea!

check out these awesome earrings from Beatnheart... I am so in love with them. I rarely wear anything other than some studs, but these... <3 thank you pat for bequeathing them to me.

that's all I've got for now. have a wonderful Halloween weekend!!!!!

xoxo.

43/52 :: 2015

I can't believe that there are less than ten weeks left of the year... time sure is just flying by. I always do my best to get posts up on the blog long before nine in the morning, but I can't quite make that happen today. my schedule is totally thrown off this week, and so I was editing this morning after getting up later than usual...

Thursday 22 October // day two hundred ninety-five :: pinkened apple and Gold Fame Citrus.

Friday 23 October // day two hundred ninety-six :: prep for the next preschool class. my love of Halloween will be very visible around the blog for a few posts, I'm sure.

Saturday 24 October // day two hundred ninety-seven :: Halloween decorations to bring to the motel! I just love Halloween <3

Sunday 25 October // day two hundred ninety-eight :: I taped this up just to have it fall right back down. my wonderful manager drilled holes in it so that it can stay up. (we are closed for a private event this week.)

Monday 26 October // day two hundred ninety-nine :: this is Bruce. he is contemplating a Halloween costume.

Tuesday 27 October // day three hundred :: this is Mike. he is writing a song.

Wednesday 28 October // day three hundred one :: the perfect mug that I bought for CMFB. (: <3

xoxo.

Friday 16 October // day two hundred eighty-nine :: so I bought this frame on clearance at Target, and then I had some prints arrive in the mail from Shutterfly. I am in love with this photo of myself, but I still don't know where to put it, so it's still just sitting there.

Monday 19 October // day two hundred ninety-two :: Bayshore Drive. (I still don't know if that's one word or two.) as I was stopped to take this picture, a woman drove by, stopping to ask me if I needed help. how embarrassing.

Wednesday 21 October // day two hundred ninety-four :: out for some photography and then reading by the canal.

around the web :: 16.10.2015

here are a few things from the internet that I found interesting/amusing during the past two weeks.

I'm part of that generation that watches SNL on their computers during the week. in fact, I didn't even start watching SNL until about eight months or so ago, and I devoured every episode I could on Hulu. I was so excited to see the special Live from New York episode that aired right before the season 41 premiere, since I have just fallen so in love with the show. it was great to learn about some more history of the show and there were some nice interviews with some of my favorites (Fred, Seth, Amy, Maya, Tina, Andy, Lorne...) too.

I have spoken many times of my deep love for Social Print Studio (for printing photos, magnets, photo books, etc.), and they are now offering their office space on airbnb as a place to stay in San Francisco! what a unique experience!

via World Market

I kind of really need these skull shot glasses, and they have some other skull and sugar skull glassware that I have my eye on, even though there is no more storage space in my tiny kitchen for more glasses. {since the time that I put this in here, I not only ordered them, but they also arrived.}

some food styling tips.

Wildest Dreams has always been my favorite song from 1989, so I finally decided to look and see if there was a music video to go with it. (Because I am always so out of touch on these things.) I love the old Hollywood glamour of the video.

oh my goodness, this little girl and her costumes are adorable!

Tuesday October 13 // day two hundred eighty-six :: things waiting at the library on Monday.

{The Clasp // Gold Fame Citrus // After the Parade}
