I Want To Reward You With 5 Minutes of Uninterrupted Eye Contact

Hi everyone!! I hope your guys are having a great week thus far. My week has been unusually slow as I haven’t had to work this week, but you know me, I always find something to do. There are tons of thrift stores in this world for me to scour! However, I will say this, my search for a thrift store better than the ones in Stockton remains unfruitful! So thrift stores of Sacramento… its time to step your game up. Also… very few people are as fun to thrift shop with as my mom… and since she lives in Stockton, it’s kind of an unfair fight… so for that, I apologize.

Anyways, This is what I decided to wear today. It actually wasn’t my first outfit, but the dress I had looked like an acceptable length for going out in public, but then when I was putting the dishes away, I gave Nathan quite the show! So, this is what I changed into. This is one of my most recent Freestyle finds. I consider it to be a gem of a purchase. As my love for vintage dresses never runs dry. I’ve been magnetized to Hawaiian dresses these days, and while this dress doesn’t have the typical hibiscus print, the tag does indeed say, “Malia from Honolulu.” Weird huh?

The wrap around style is a little bit different than other ones that I have seen, which makes it a little more special I think. I also like that the straps are really wide so that I can wear normal bra, not a strapless one… I hate wearing strapless bras, even ones that fit are super annoying to me.

 Ugh! aren't the details and print of this dress something else?! The Construction is seriously second to none, especially for a vintage dress. I feel like this dress could be junked around and pulled and tugged, and not a single seam would budge.

In other news, I’ve been on the hunt for one of those popsicle ice trays where you pour your juice in and stick in the freezer, and in a few hours you have delicious popsicles, and I finally found one!! I found it at the Dollar Tree!! How cute is this? They’re shaped like little closed umbrellas! I love them. I filled them up with Lemonade (my other summer obsession. Nothing cools you off in the summer quite like nice cold glass of Lemonade), and voila! Delicious popsicles!

 look how exciting it is!!! Also, please take a gander at our crazily covered refrigerator. One day I'll do a post guiding you through mine and Nathan's life based soley on what it on our refrigerator.

Well everyone that’s about it for me today. Tomorrow’s Friday, so even though this whole week has been pretty much a week off, Weekends always seem so much more fun… I don’t know, with that said, yay for Fridays! See you soon!

A bank robber's not gonna know what a hydrangea bush is

Hi everyone! I hope your weekend was great, mine was for sure. I hope you all honored your dad’s appropriately!! Ha. I got my dad some barista stuff from Starbucks, because you know, he’s a barista, and now when I come over, he can make me all sorts of yummy drinks!! HaHa, But seriously, I my dad is a great barista at home, and I was happy to help him add to his collection of delectable delights. My dad is seriously the best. Nathan and I saw the movie, The Green Lantern (another super-hero movie, of course), and it was alright, I liked Super 8 better. There were no ingeniously creative children saving the day in this movie… I mean Ryan Reynolds is cute enough, but he’s no Wubby.

Anyways! This is what I decided to wear today. I’ve had this awesome vintage halter dress for two years, and I have no plans of ever getting rid of it. I’ve mentioned before my love for prints, and the print of this dress is no exception. The white hydrangeas are just too much. I had white and green hydrangea’s in my wedding bouquet, they’re my favorite-ist flowers.

This is my mother-in-law’s gorgeous home. Everything about it is something I love. It was built in the 1920’s and has had quite a bit of renovation, so the house is literally a rock. I honestly think that if an earthquake hit, the houses on this street would be totally safe.

 It’s pretty evident by these pictures that Nathan’s mom, Debbie, loves this home. She is the one responsible for it’s beauty. Not to mention Nathan’s dad’s impeccable gardening skills. I would sit on this back porch all day with a glass of lemonade if I could. They only bummer is, where there are beautiful flowers, there are tons of bees!! While I was out here I had to really be careful, especially with a floral dress on! Good grief!

Well you guys, that’s about it for me today. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and I hope that the rest of your week is just as wonderful! I’m gonna get back to watching Hoarders…See you soonJ
