It's warming up around here finally and I can't wait to do spring/summery stuff (at least until it starts hitting 100 degrees, then I'll wish for fall again).
A few other things I'm looking forward to:
*pedicures *gladiator sandals * *straw hats* *BBQing* *enjoying the mornings on the patio* *music festivals*
I had a great weekend filled with cute shoes and awesome music! Take a look....
Steven by Steve Madden
These are the shoes that I wore to the show on Saturday night. It was love at first sight.
This was J.P. & The Gilberts from NYC. Their music had a very fun blue grassy feel.
This is CoCo playing his squeeze box with Thrift Store Cowboys.
Shoes from Gap
These are the shoes that I wore on Sunday. I love a good oxford.
This is me practicing my fishy face.
Cardigan: Francesca's, Dino Top: Francesca's, Jeans: Bullhead Black from Pacsun, Shoes: Gap
This is my first outfit post from my new job. I have worn so many cute outfits that I wish I had taken pictures of. Sunday's we can wear jeans which is nice :)
Last night was my first adventure to The Prairie Fire Theater. It's all ages, no smoking, and BYOB. Definitely a different atmosphere than I'm used to, but a nice change.
This is one of the members from Slow Static. I was really impressed with their sound, and would totally listen to their music while doing arty stuff.
This is a quick picture of TSC (my hubby is on the right in the orange). I was pretty sure he was going to fall off stage, but he didn't....but his glasses did fly off his face!
My husband and I were introduced to Warby and Parker last year at SXSW. Since my husband is in a band, he ended up getting some free swag, which included a gift certificate to Warby and Parker. My husband desperately needed new glasses, because when he's rocking out on stage his old pair always seems to fly off his face (and had been chewed on by evil puppies). We figured we'd order a pair, use the gift card and then pay the rest. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the gift card paid for the glasses and they were only $95! So I decided to get a pair too.
Several times a day, I get asked:
"Are your glasses real?"
and
"Where did you get your glasses?"
I'm like a walking billboard for Warby and Parker.
I love that there is a company out there like Warby and Parker. They are so amazing and give back not only to the community, but the world. If you are a fan of Toms shoes, then you should be a fan of Warby and Parker. Like Toms, when you buy a pair of glasses, they give a pair to someone in need.
Warby and Parker are also looking out for the environment, their employees, and most of all their customers. They were awesome in helping me figure out my prescription, and got back to me immediately. It was nice to be able to just take a picture of my prescription and email it to them, so they could help me figure out what I was missing. I would say it was the best customer service I have ever received.
So check out their web site and try on a few pairs! They have a digital version or you can get a set of actual glasses to test out at home.
I can't wait to order another pair!
Are you a fan of Warby and Parker? Let me know what you think!
(Ps I am writing this b/c I love Warby and Parker, not b/c I'm being paid to. Thanks!)
I am a huge fan of Kyary! I like to see what wacky thing she is up to each week on tumblr.
I am missing my pink hair....but I'm thinking of painting my nails pastel. I know that isn't really equivalent, but lets see if it makes me feel better about not being able to have fun color hair.
This is the French movie poster. I thought it was magical
My husband and I are big Hayao Miyazaki fans, and we own almost all of his movies. We were excited that The Secret World of Arrietty was actually playing at one of the local theaters!
The movie is based on Mary Norton's 1952 novel "The Borrowers," about a family of
miniature people who live in a world hidden from ordinary humans. It was nice to see one of my favorite childhood stories brought to life without 3-D or being "Pixared-to-death" (don't get me wrong, I love Pixar movies).
One of the things Clint and I often talk about Studio Ghibli films, is the attention to detail, even in the backgrounds. In Arrietty, I noticed the attention to detail even went as far as the sound. For instance, when you are smaller certain noises will be louder, like the rustle of clothing or a clock ticking.
We both thought this was film was magical. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD, and maybe I'll get lucky and be able to find the soundtrack (because the music was magical too!).
Check out the trailer
If you've seen the movie, what were your thoughts?
One of my New Year's Resolutions was to de-clutter my house, and live a more minimalist life. Well I haven't even started, but I do plan to put away all my clean laundry and possibly clean out more of my closet. You gotta start somewhere, right? I figure as a reward, I can start watching a new Korean Drama....
