Anticipation

It's Friday and I think we're all breathing a collective sigh of relief.  Having just blown up a forgotten boiling egg for the second day in a row I'm looking forward to free time to clean the kitchen.  Isn't that special?  Argh.

With all the rain and dreary weather we had last weekend in SoCal it was nice to wake up to bright sunny skies this morning.  I can't wait to get out and take it all in!  Here are just some of the things I'm contemplating this weekend:

The Ardisia Maxi at Anthropologie
I have looked at it almost every day since receiving the catalogue earlier this week.
I think it's a sign, and perhaps the perfect way to kick off the weekend.
I think this handbag could balance it out quite nicely
and keep the styling of the dress true to me.
The fringe/turquoise combo is really something else.
You can tell I'm on a pretty serious boho kick because this thing
is locked front and center on my desktop.  I keep glancing at my blank wall
wondering if I should just get it and hang it up there already.
I mean really - why did these have to be sold out??
It got me going on an internet shopping extravaganza.
I've started clicking and I can't get up.
You know it's bad when I start contemplating cat attire.
One of my friends sent this cat shark coat over earlier in the week.
She found it in this Etsy shop...now usually I'm not one to
dress my cats up, but since I spotted it I can't help but
eyeball them for size whenever they walk by. Woops!

Here's hoping you find me back on Monday with pink shoes in hand and cats wearing only their own fur.  Have a great weekend everyone!

Find the pink shoes! Do they make the shark attire for dogs? August wants one. Oh fine, I want one for him.

Valerie said...

The cat costume is so funny! I can totally picture you with two of those running around the house this weekend. The dress is amazing, I love it with the fringe bag and you MUST find those shoes! Have a great weekend, Carrie! I'm off to happy hour to fulfill my wine quota for the week.

I feel like we need to have a serious talk about how much I love Jeffrey Campbell..I want all of his shoes. ALL OF THEM

Kayla said...

I'm sorry I have no idea what the rest of the post was about because that hairless cat creature freaked me out too much. I am so scared of those things.

Those pink shoes are heavenly! I could never walk in them but who cares?? I really want that shark costume for my cat but I don't want the scratch and bite marks that would go along with them ; )

Taylor said...

oy, i can't imagine what your kitchen smells like. i'm so sorry. throw a bunch of lemons down the disposal.

turquoise and fringe belong together, just like peanut butter and chocolate

this free bird said...

hig - it was in a pot boiling on the stove. i forgot about it and eventually when all the water boiled off it just blew up. i'm sorry i can't help laughing!! BAHAHAHA!! it's all over the freaking range hood. #sendmaid

and yes i just used a hashtag in a comment. help

PursuitOfLLT said...

i have been dying to try on that dress! i pretty much loved everything in the new anthro catalogue. they sure know how to hook ya!

My Heart Blogged said...

I love the blanket as a piece of art. How do you blow up an egg? I didn't know it was possible. But, I'm a terrible cook, and have almost set my house a blaze a few times.

little bird said...

haha! I'm glad you liked that Cat costume.
Now you've got me eyeballing that Anthropologie dress.

LyddieGal said...

Your potential outfit is sending me into a summer daydream... White ruffled layers and brown fringe, and sky high pink heels...
I've got a bunch of things I'm itching to buy and a bunch of outfits I'm aching to wear when it gets warmer.

Annie said...

Rissy said...

That bag is stupid... The dress is stupid too but I tried it on last week and luckily it doesn't work on my body, but that bag.... the bag... sigh

Claire Kiefer said...

That is one FREAKY looking cat! But I loooooove the pretty maxi dress. So lovely and summery. I'm trying to be on a shopping hiatus right now but . . . it's hard! And I gotta say, I'm very much looking forward to having a free moment to clean the kitchen today. It's a luxury these days. WTF.

I Turner said...

The cream maxi dress is so elegant and carefree.

haha *looks at blog history*
I got them on January 16th, haha: http://www.closet-fashionista.com/2011/01/target-shopping-spree-just-bought.html

Unknown said...

When I saw the dress, I thought that it was SO YOU! Then I read what you said about the styling with the bag being so true to you and I couldn't agree more! I think you should go for it if you can. You'd look smokin'! Oh and that shark coat is pretty funny. I wonder how long I could get my cat to wear it? Probably for a minute, tops :)

Have a great weekend!

Lori said...

I love that dress and it has your name written all over it ~ Happy Week-end girl! xo

FRANKIE HEARTS FASHION said...

um what? It actually exploded?! I wish I could have witnessed the aftermath of this...I can't help but chuckle right now!! Hilar. And that dress is so you C...you must purchase that shizzzz ASAP! Have a good weekend sister..xo

Danielle (elleinadspir) said...

Omg, those shoes are so 'you' buddy. Yes, feel like I now need to call you buddy like Jillian....but I promise I won't beyond today! Have a great weekend friend.

The Suburb Experiment said...

Oh I love those shoes!! LOVE them. They're available in gray. . . now I just have to figure out if I really need another pair of JC's that make that much taller. :)

Grace (The Stripe) said...

i loooove the pink shoes!
they still have them at singer 22... so amazing. i think i'd fall if i wore them. tall and clumsy :-/

Marcie said...

One thing I've learned about you, Carrie is that your blog always is great for a laugh! Whether is it what you write, or the photos, I am always smiling over here.

I am dying over that cat shark outfit!!

Have a great weekend! I will be thinking of you as I make my way to a big flea market. :)

Unknown said...

That dress is stunning, the shoes are to die for and that cat coat is beyond adorable.

Mimi said...

this free bird said...

oh yes they do have those shoes at singer22. unfortch i am a size 5.5 in these and not 8, 9 or 10. the injustice continues.

and marcie. FLEA MARKET!!! super jelly over here at the bird-report back with full details please!

okay danielle - i'm gonna run off and try not to phone it in now. you'll hear me collapse on the living room floor in approximately 30 minutes.

Lissy said...

I hope you're back Monday with new fun pink shoes!!

Al said...

Funny you should mention that dress... My anthropologie catalog just came today and it was the first thing I saw and got CRAZY for...Just love it. Happy to have found your blog, have a great weekend, darlin!

annelise said...

I am always so tempted to try and put clothes on the cat. I know I would suffer for it but I think it would be worth it if I could make him look like a shark.

Exploding eggs? Bugger that for a joke. Eggs smell like farts at the best of times, let alone having to clean up farty exploded egg. Ew.

Have a great weekend!

PS. Your 'no yanky my wanky' comment on my blog seriously made me shout with laughter. Probably the best line in the movie.

Kirsten Nunez (Studs and Pearls) said...

That dress is gorgeous. I think I'm in love?

little luxury list said...

Cat shark coat...yes!!!! What cat wouldn't want to wear that?

Ooh get the dress! I know I'm such an enabler!

kelli g. { bug miscellany } said...

as soon as i scrolled to the shark cat photo, max began meowing incessantly. i think the answer is clear:
she needs a shark cat costume!

Unknown said...

That blanket would look really good on any wall...get it!!!

stylenuggets said...

The dress and bag are so 'you'. Isn't it a coincidence that I was just searching Etsy for Aztec prints? And that cat attire noooooo! Tell me you were just joking!!

Collette Osuna said...

LOVE the dress....so nice for Spring, now if it would ever warm up in Michigan...that would be a super great thing, lol...did you see my Tweet the other day about me making a hard boiled egg?? lol..I was so thrilled with myself because I found the "perfect recipe" and wound up posting the link, hehehe. Happy Saturday girl.....:)

The color of those Jeffrey Campbell platforms is to die for!!!

A Crimson Kiss said...

Oh my god, that cat attire is AMAZING. You can only buy that sucker if you agree to put the kitties on a leash and take them for a walk, wearing your amazing leather vest. Because the photos of strangers in the background would be PRICELESS.

Anonymous said...

Homie---I fondled that exact same dress in the Anthro in Chicago this weekend. It was pretty damned glorious.

But you know me... I need the throw. Excellent picks, you just lulled me into a boho fantasy I plan on supplementing with wine and some pets to my leather rhino.

believe it or not, Jessica Simpson makes a great substitution for the Jeffrey Campbell Foxy. it is called the Dany.
