Mom's Birthday Lunch

Yesterday was my mom's birthday, and my sisters decided to put together a little outdoor spring lunch for her. My job was to get her out of the house, so we went to get pedicures (not a bad deal, I think) When we got home, the outdoor patio table had been transformed into this adorable birthday lunch, complete with croissant sandwiches, strawberry salad, fruit salad, and fresh lemonade with raspberry ice cubes. My sisters are incredibly more creative than I am, and you can find their blogs here and here. It was such a fun afternoon with the girls!

And in other news, I registered to run the Disneyland Half Marathon over Labor Day weekend. Am I crazy? Completely. I've never ran a half marathon (13.1 miles!) in my life! But I really want to see if I can do it. So starting tomorrow I will be training for a marathon! What am I getting myself into?

Harper's Makes Me Happy.

I'm swooning over this spread in this months Harper's Bazaar. Maybe it's the botantical setting, or the chic retro-inspired outfits, or maybe it's the fact that not everything is a gazillion dollars. You can look this fantastic without having everything hitting the triple digits. Music to my ears.

Back Roads and Solving Mysteries.

My sister and I decided to go explore some back roads today. We were actually looking for this old abandoned house my sister had taken a picture of a couple days ago, and thought she saw "something" on the porch when she uploaded the pictures. So we went back to check it out, turns out there was a statue on the porch, haha. Mystery solved, case closed. But it was still such a pretty day we decided to take some pictures. I just bought this le sac dress from American Apparel, and you can wear it countless amount of ways (which seems like such a great investment for someone on a budget!)-- I haven't experimented with it yet, so I'll let you know how it goes. If anyone else has this dress, suggestions and recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Jaws!

Yesterday was the second Sunday of the month, and that meant classic movie night! The theatre was showing Jaws, and despite watching it back in highschool (where I hardly paid any attention) it was my first time seeing it. I have to admit I hid behind my cardigan a couple of times. In hindsight, I should have dressed more summering-in-Martha's-Vineyard to keep in the theme of the movie; but who can resist a floral dress and some over-the-knee boots?
