tuesday.
i woke up this morning with a headache & craving a sandwich.
so far my tuesdays not going to well.
i have a ton of stuff that i have to do this week that i have been procrastinating. seriously a ton. and i am extremely stressed about it all. so much work. updating galore. a few bird surprises. painting the kiddo's rooms. laundry. i'm not going to go on, but i definitely could. STRESSED! however, it seems that i am apparently starting all of these very important tasks later, because the boy made us a swimming date with some friends. can't really complain, even though i completely should. but i am so excited to see them, it's been awhile.
i do need some help getting less distracted and more motivated it seems.
any useful tips you could lend me???
i need that sandwich.
happy tuesday.
xoxo.

STYLE MUSE: LOU DOILLON
i usually choose my style muses from decades ago, however, this lovely lady takes the cake in modern day style. she is my all time favorite 'current' lady love and i have a major girl crush! yes, i love you lou doillon.
she is the daughter of one of my past style muses jane birkin.
at the age of nine, little lou already had a style of her own. she dressed in indian leggings under short flowing dresses, worn with grateful dead tees, rollerblades and long dreadlocks. by the time she turned eleven, she was already sporting tattoos and a stud in her tounge. be still my heart.
LATE NIGHT SWEET SOMETHINGS.

CHAMP THURSDAY + STYLE MUSE: PEGGY LIPTON
it is champagne thursday again, although i am not celebrating today.
no champagne for me!
i have been having the hardest time sleeping lately and it's taking it's toll.
sleepy + backlogged on work and emails = not good.
so today i've been committed to playing catch up.
here's a little polaroid shot of me & kirby yesterday.
i was reading through some of my favorite blogs
the other day and stumbled across this book:
funny because that's my friend binki on the cover.
i haven't seen her in a couple years, since i moved to TX.
but seeing this made me miss her pretty little self and her dry sense of humor,
so now i'm gonna have to give her a call.
also, i love lauren dukoff's photography. ima have to buy this one for sure!
STYLE MUSE: Peggy Lipton.
one of the most beautiful women to walk the earth. (in my opinion.)
a successful model & actress, most famous for her role in the mod squad from 1968-1973. She was also a singer/songwriter and in the early 90's she appeared on the popular tv show twin peaks as norma jennings. she married quincy jones in 1974 and they had 2 children. they later divorced in 1990 but remained close friends. she was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2004 but is happily in remission.
so natural and pretty.
(i am obsessed with that lamp)
saturday night we're going to the rocky horror picture show at midnight!
i am soooo excited!
and i've been doing a lot of reading & drawing lately in my little book.
here's my newest little girl.
well, time for me to get back to business.
happy thursday!
xoxo.

HAPPY 4th OF JULY.
i didn't get to post yesterday because i was doing all sorts of
fun independence day stuff. hope you all had a great 4th o' july.
we had so much fun!
my friend michelle and her boat boy ben had a party/bbq at her loft.
it's right outside downtown and has the prettiest view.
here are the cute little hosts.
(i call him boat boy because it always looks like he's about to step on a yacht.)
we played with sparklers.
and watched the fireworks.
(my favorite were the hearts.)
and i got to spend time with my pretty friends.
it was so so much fun! i drank a little much, but hey...
that's what the 4th of july's all about right? ha.
