Moving & Pinterest

You know, sometimes life gets busy.  Very busy.  It turns out that accepting a job on the other side of the country will do that to you.  My life has been pretty crazy for the last few weeks.  I've had a lot of fun, taken lots of pictures, and I have a lot I want to share with you.  Unfortunately, it all must wait until after the move.  The moving company is coming tomorrow, and I'm flying to Charlotte on Friday.  After that, life will be adjusting to my new home, new job, and house-hunting (I'm going to buy a condo!).  Hopefully sometime in there I'll get some blog posts written.  In the meantime, I invite you to follow me on Pinterest and Twitter.  Pinterest is perfect for organizing new home decorating inspirations!  Plus, I put random thoughts about life on Twitter.

I ain't here for a long time, I'm here for a good time

I had an AMAZING weekend.  One of those weekends that I absolutely did not want to end.  It included farmers market, wine tasting, being silly with friends, a good run, sushi with SWE friends, and a pool party.

And here's the song my title is based on...

How I spent my 4th of July.

Hi!  How was your holiday weekend?  Mine was pretty good.  I went outlet shopping, farmer's market shopping, had lunch on the beach, drove thru the mountains, brunched with friends from college, bought new sunglasses, went to a bbq, and watched fireworks with friends.

Made in America

I hope you're having a great holiday weekend!  Today I heard this song on the radio on the way to the farmer's market, and I realized I had on an outfit that was made in America.

Big News!

I have big news.  I won't be living in LA for very much longer.  I accepted a new job in North Carolina!  In my last few weeks in California, I'm trying to do as much as I can to enjoy the city.  Today, I went to the outlet mall, so I could shop at the American Apparel Outlet since there aren't any outside of southern California.  I picked a couple of great items to help me handle the heat and humidity in NC.

A chiffon maxi dress (imagine it belted and worn with a slip):

And two cropped tops:

 

Canvassing: Sunglasses

I'm going to place an order online for new prescription glasses and sunglasses.  However, I'm overwhelmed with the choices in sunglasses!  I've narrowed it down to the RayBan New Wayfarer in the smaller size, since I already have a pair in the larger size that is not prescription, and I love them.  The pair I own is a clear light brown frame, as seen in the photo below.  Would you please check out the frame and lens color choices online (see link) and let me know what your favorite combos are for me in the comments?  Thank you SO much!

RayBan New Wayfarer

I love this dress.  It's extremely difficult to get zipped up, but it's worth it.  The fabric is amazing!  I wore it to my cousin's wedding in Nashville a few weeks ago, then again on Thursday night to my friend's birthday party.
