spring blooming.


hope you all had a happy st. patricks day. did you do anything fun? it was a big day for me, i put on a neon green shirt, walked to starbucks and got a flat tire. yeah, i know... the excitement. but it was date night with the husband tonite so that made up for it. so i received two awards. one i told you about the other day, and yesterday i was tagged by closet obsessions with a ten good things award. check out her blog while you are at it. she rocks it... hard. so here is my list, which is quite boring, but i am a simple girl.

1. my husband, brian.
2. family.
3. violetta (my pup).
4. the sun and it's warmth.
5. the desert.
6. tropical beaches.
7. green tea lattes and frapuccino's.
8. finding treasures.
9. creating.
10. watching movies at home (not at the theater, let me make that clear).

so i guess i'm supposed to pass this on, but i don't want to single anyone out, so whoever wants to do it--go for it. i would love to see ten things that make all of you happy. i actually love doing gratitude lists. every day i walk outside and think of all that i am grateful for. it makes such a difference in my day, and i feel so off when i don't do it. i was also tagged by lace and leather (love her!) with the what is in your bag situation. i already did this here, take a look--and i apologize in advance for anyone with ocd.

this outfit is what i wore today, i just switched out the neon green shirt for the purple as it's not going to be saint patty's day anymore when you all read this. as you all know by now, i cut all of my t-shirts. i love to cut, but don't love to sew. i love these diaper like bloomer shorts, they are so comfy and the awesome necklace is from new york design shop, and by the way, they just got some kick ass feather fringe in that will be pretty awesome for the t-shirt diy's you are all doing, right?! loving all of you so much i can hardly stand it!

  18. the one on my arm says,"beauty is truth, truth beauty" (keats poem). the one on my neck, translated, means "life without boundaries" (italian saying). my little robot flips off the world, i'm a circle sometimes a square and i wear my broken heart on my sleeve :-)

  27. Your hair! I adore it, I can't wait to break out my multi colored hair extensions again. (proper ones, not the plastic ones from Claires you see those kids wearing :P)
    And the clogs, they are perfect! I was kind of unsure about them until I saw Chanel's ones, then got depressed because I knew I wouldn't be able to afford them. But your ones may be the perfect alternative.
