Old Soul New Heart
September 2nd, 2009 § 1 Comment
How adorable are these accessories from Old Soul, New Heart?! I just love them, and I love that they’re made by a mother-daughter team! My friend Laura and I were discussing the other day that there’s just something about moms…as a daughter, I always feel like I’m talking to a smarter version of myself when I talk to my mom. It’s nice.
Okay, back to headbands and necklaces 
A Li’l Crush
August 18th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
Okay, so I may have a teeny tiny girl crush on Zooey Deschanel. I think it started with a CD Laura sent me in the mail that was Vol. 1 of She & Him.
Then it was her clothes and interviews in InStyle where she talked about just being herself and staying out of headlines because she was the opposite of scandalous.
Then it was her acting in Yes Man and (500) Days of Summer (really liked both).
Have already mentioned naming future dog Zooey to Drew…and he didn’t seem to hate it, which is a good sign. We’ll see! As I think I already mentioned, we’re making ourselves wait until I get a job before we get a canine friend. So, come on, employers in the DC metro area! Soooo overjoyed that I get to spend my birthday applying to jobs like every other day. And yet I plan to make this a most productive day–work accomplished, lots of practice in making a happy home, being patient and generous to others, being an old-fashioned good girl (I may have just finished reading Little Women…). Oh! But returning to the original subject of this post–the lovely Zooey–imagine my delight when I saw the new Kate Spade line with mod-inspired clothes and a model with voluminous chocolate hair piled on top of her head, heavy bangs, and red lipstick???
I think it’s time to get some raspberry and mustard tights, friends. Have a lovely Tuesday!

Ran downstairs again as it was raining and I had limited time before my phone interview with Uncommon Schools. Details:
Wed 5/13 3.0 miles 29 mins stretch 10 mins
My phone interview went…okay. She asked me a bunch of “what would you do in x situation” questions instead of “tell me about a time when…” questions. So that took me a little off guard. She’s going to send my answers and application to the Director of Leadership Development and I should know in a couple weeks. We’ll see! I so hope it works out!
Laura also sent me a link to this amazing vintage site, Posh Girl Vintage, and I thought I’d share a couple pics of dresses I liked. Clearly I was born in the wrong decade since I missed the tea length wedding dress craze by about 50 years. So cute, right?
Oh yes I need a child

Preferably a girl so I could buy her things like this adorable vintage shirt-dress-thing. Can’t you just imagine it with white leggings?!?! Oh… See more adorable (and cheap!) vintage clothes for babies at baby hank’s etsy shop.
