Scenes from The Week-End, A Big Thank You + Those Shoes






First up the weekend...

We ate our weight in shrimp while in Louisiana -- shrimp scampi and shrimp etouffee...so, so good. Audrey got her first wasp sting, and (understandably) it was pretty traumitizing for all of us, we saw the biggest spider on the planet in an equally giant web, and there was just generally a lot of relaxing and reading and a bit of trolling around antique shops.

All in all a lovely week-end.

Now for the gratitude. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the comments on the new jeans. For those of you that are wondering, they're from Martin + Osa and are majorly on sale. The good news is that it appears I underestimated my mom and sister as they were totally down with the jeans, and after wearing them for a couple of days, I'm way more comfortable with the whole enterprise.

+ you guys have given me all sorts of genius suggestions and as such, I'll be trying a smaller, messier cuff and maybe a shorter top (it seems some of you aren't so enamored with my "uniform" with these jeans, and it's understandable but baby steps friends...) At any rate, you guys completely and totally rock.

And then there are the shoes. Oh the shoes...

They're Chie Mihara, and I found them at Neiman's last call sale. In case you want a pair of your very own, I've seen them on Piperlime and a few other spots also on sale (not quite as deeply discounted as at Neimans but on sale nonetheless.)


Hope your 4th of July was splendid!
