Polka Dots & Daisies

Dress: Anthropologie

Belt: Target

Flats: Payless

I came across this amazing little bridge when the hubs and I were on a walk one evening. I instantly knew it would be a perfect location to go back to and take some photos, especially on a bright, warm summer day. The river below was filled with kayaks, the paths busy with bicyclists and people that were on long, summer strolls. 

Soooo about the dress. The moment I saw it, I had to have it. Seriously. It is so perfect in every way and there is no resisting the lovely, delicate, floral lace back. I love the retro fit, bright yellow color and fun print with the imperfect dots. This is the kind of dress that makes you feel happy from the moment you slip it on.

Do you have a certain piece that makes you feel that way too?

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend, filled with fun and relaxation!

Annnnddd a silly little gif :)

Tank-UO
Skirt-F21
Tight&Belt-Target
Flats-Payless
Bracelet-AE



I can't get enough of this color combo and twirly little skirt. I decided I needed to wear the skirt again while I still can get away with wearing tights, because unfortunately, it's a smidgen to short to wear without. Boooo.


So, how is everyone's weekend going?! Ours has been filled with warm weather and lots of sunshine. Yay! Yesterday we went to the Farmers Market where we picked up that beautiful bouquet for Tim's Mom for Mother's Day and that adorable little Lavender plant for our patio garden.Then we had lunch at the park, followed by meeting up with hubby's parents for a yummy dinner later on in the evening. Such a nice day it was!


Tonight we finally get to see one of our favorite bands in concert; Death Cab for Cutie. Can.Not.Wait! They are going to be backed by an Orchestra, so it should be extra amazing!!







Hope everyone has a great day and start to the week tomorrow!
Only 3 days of work for me this week, then headed off to SoCal to celebrate our 5th Anniversary in Disneyland...Eeeeep!!!

By the Sea

This past weekend my whole family threw a surprise 50th Birthday party for my mom (hence the hilarious photo of her with the old lady hat and walker) at a Beautiful cottage on the Washington Coast. It was so unbelievably fun with all my immediate family, cousins, aunts, uncles etc. I can't recall a time in my adult life when I have had this much fun with my entire family. It was amazing.

Also, the weather was crazy awesome. The beaches of Washington rarely look as amazing as this in the Spring.....and it was warm and not very windy at all. So. Nice.

The above images were all my favorite from the weekend and are pretty self explanatory so no need to bore you with explanations, except one:

That photo of me and my dad.....totally slept in those clothes the night before, have zero makeup on, and did not even attempt to do anything to my hair. That's definitely a first on the blog...and probably the last. My only excuse for this, is that being around all the family and cousins and basically having one big sleepover, made me feel like I was 10 again, so all adult grooming standards were left behind.

Hope all of you are having a good start to the week!

It was definitely hard for me to get back to reality today.....here's to tomorrow being Tuesday!
