TANK TOPS AND FLIP FLOPS

For some reason this song reminds me of summer time and warmer weather. Something I'm wishing for right now! I don't know that I've ever been this cold while not on top of a big ol' Colorado mountain. Well, enjoy the music... I cannot believe it's Thursday! Where does the time go?

I know, the video is a little weird... what can I say.

Did I mention that it is cold and wished I was walking around Chicago's busy summertime streets finding fantastic deals on vintage furniture and artwork, stopping to pet sweet puppies here and there all while giggling at Mr. D's witty remarks about all the 'hipsters' in the neighborhood?   I picture myself wearing this gorgeous yellow sculpted blouse and belt from Anthropologie... paired with skinny jeans and boots.  'Cause that's what the kids are wearing these days!

Yes... I'm going to turn up the heat in the house... 

XOXO

ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS

I generally despise snow.  But this snowfall was really cool!  Thunder, lighting and 3rd largest snow on record.  This morning we decided to venture out before it was all plowed. Here are some of our findings (lots of things were buried).

The sun is now out and the sky is blue... clear views all the way downtown.  Bring on spring!!!

Hopefully you and yours are safe and sound!

XOXO

LET IT SNOW!

Well... let it snow once we get back from St. Louis...

Since our new home is cold and snowy for nearly half of the year I think it's about time that I embrace the beauty of winter.  To begin my new seasonal love affair I've decided that I needed a fun winter activity.  So I went up the the roof and built myself an mini snow man. He is photographed against the beautiful skyline that is Chicago.

As soon as his body was built it dawned on me that I had no accessories for him (next time I will be more prepared!).  But photoshop quickly and easily clothed him and now he's ready for winter...

I'm thinking I'll build a whole family next time... animals and all!

XOXO
