Memorial Day

May 31st, 2011

{Vintage glasses + Elizabeth and James Dress + Mexican Coca-Cola}

The long weekend was exactly what I needed. I started and finished a book (I finally got around to reading this and loved it), shared great meals with friends, played board games outside, and took advantage of the deserted city. Memorial Day weekend always feels like the beginning of summer and it sets the tone for late afternoon cocktails, tropical getaways (we have one at the end of June!) and a generally relaxed way of life for the next few months.

{Toppings’ caramel + vanilla yogurt with chocolate sprinkles}

{Vintage scarf + Forever 21 Sweatshirt + Vince Cut-offs + VPL Boots}

{View from dinner at the Penthouse at The Huntley}

{First s’more of the season}

{Vintage glasses + Urban Outfitters tank + H&M skirt}

{Ficele with fromage d’affinois & apricot glazed ham + pickles}

{New favorites: orangish red lip color and nude nail polish}

    Why do you insist on including close ups of your horsey face my dear? You really are one fugly chick. Botched teeth, big nose.

    Didn’t you get the MEMO yet? You look hideous in red lipstick with your pasty complexion.

    On the Memo note. YOU. STILL. DON’T. KNOW. HOW. TO. DRESS. You should really tune into WHATNOTTOWEAR more often sweetie. ;)

    The Hunger Games, gah I’m obsessed with that trilogy! Ready to start Catching Fire? I’m only going to say that it just gets better. I’ve read the whole thing like four times already, I’m a big BIG fan. What was your favorite part? The part where Katniss volunteers for Prim always brings me to tears. So many great moments in that book. So glad you read it and liked it!
