::a birthday tribute::

This is my friend katie {or crawf, crawfy, kcrawf}.

She's turning the big 23 today and I am so excited

to celebrate her this evening with mexican food

and friends and patio time. The funniest thing about all

of these nicknames is that she will be loosing them soon.

You see, my little crawfy is getting married in 3

weeks. THREE weeks! What a lucky man her fiance...

Here's wising you a lovely, perfect birthday. 

I LOVE YOU.

loving [as of late]

this amazing double walled cup. 

{that means NO sweating people}

i love this thing.

everything about this album.

Temper Trap is the perfect summer album.

essie summer 2010 collection.

how could you not love a color called

"haute as hello?"

a simple summer night.

It was one of those great summer nights... the kind

that aren't super planned where everyone just enjoys

summer. It was simple and hipster and just perfect.

We headed to the Hotel Belmont in Oak Clif on Thursday for 

their kickoff of summer pool movie parties. And if the 

fun drinks and weather weren't enough?- Check out that

incredible view of downtown dallas. It was pretty cool. 

I have decided that figuring out what you want to do "when you grow up" is not easy. In fact, it's proving to be extremely difficult right now. And the most frustrating part... where to begin? I only wish that I knew what making a start looked like... one day I want to look back on this season of life and laugh... one day. Cheers to dreaming.

the new fall 2010 jcrew wedding collection.
Do yourself a favor and take a little peak online
because it is VERY VERY pretty. I just loved 
everything about it. 

lake days

I headed to the lake this past weekend with five 

of my closest friends for some quality texas sunshine.

And after some face first nose dives... I now have a 

sinus infection. not fun but oh so worth it.
