Five Things

{Cutest idea ever: Whole Foods’ ice cream cone cookies}

My fiancé and I have been working a lot this week and we’ve barely seen each other. While it’s not ideal, I’m not opposed to the notion of missing each other just a bit. It’s funny what a little space can do – it makes me think about things in a different way, including the lost traditions from when we first met. Every morning he used to send me a “song of the day” that he thought I would enjoy. Sometimes I’d heard them before and other times I was pleasantly surprised, but I looked forward to it every day. So here’s to rekindling lost traditions, celebrating the little things and, of course, your own song of the day. Joe Purdy – San Jose.

    And I guess if they’re on your side on the fence they’re technically yours now, right?! ;-)

    So excited to see Joe Purdy mentioned here as I am a fan too! In that spirit, here is a post on my Summer Playlist. It’s mainly acoustic-heavy bands with new-ish albums out:

    Also I would love if you did as many posts about cheese as your heart desires :) Think I speak for everyone when I say you can never have too much cheese. Speaking of, is there such a thing as “cheese shops” in LA? I think I could eat just cheese, bread and wine for most meals and be happy.

    Mmm… cheese.

    Are you saying you didn’t buy that gorgeous sparkly dress when you saw it at What Goes Around What Comes Around?? That dress is so fierce it’s making me hungry for fashion.

    While I love the look of that cheese, I can’t take my eyes off the dress. Too gorgeous. How could you resist?! I feel like I wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about it until it was mine!

    We just did a feature on your blog, hope you enjoy! I’ve loved your blog for a long time, you’re such an inspiration for me.

    I am fascinated by that dress. It’s nice when you first start dating and can share your tastes with one another. Now it’s all about exploring new things together!
