Instead it was totally cloudy and cool so we loaded up on groceries, grilled and spent 5 hours watching the Dallas marathon. JR Ewing always did know how to get my mind off things.
Cut to scene and I spent yesterday in the fetal feeling kind of sad. Homesick. Stuffing my mouth with ketchup chips. God bless the Old Dutch brand and very large carry on bags.
In an effort to lift my spirits and not be a total buzzkill SEEING AS IT IS FRIDAY AND ALL, I spent this morning outside lying around reading a book helping Chris build a planter. Seeing as the only thing I failed to bring back from Canada was the camera charger, here are some bright and sunny instagram lunch pics from a couple weeks ago instead of other instagram pics of a presently empty raised planter.
Speaking of bright and sunny, if you're in the Huntington Beach area we'd love to see you this Sunday July 8th at The Corner for the Painted Bird Trunk Show. Personally, I cannot wait to pick up a couple pairs of these rad crochet shoes. They're handmade in India and the epitome of summer chic! Details are one post back or click here. Mimosas will be served.
~Outfit: M2F-denim vest (back in stock and seriously the best summer layering piece), J.Crew-tank and sunwashed skirt (old), Dolce Vita-shoes (on sale!), Brandy & Melville-bag~
Semi-scandalous mermaid on the wall outside Roe Fish Market.
Orange crush--my idea of the perfect summer drink.
Well, after the Don Julio margarita.
And, of course, a quick Painted Bird enlightener. Seriously, how to choose?? Hope to see you Sunday!

I am back in the land of ketchup chips! I will mail you some as long as you promise to mail me some Trader Joes chips -- we'll call "Chip Exchange" and it will be the saddest/greatest thing ever. Wait, maybe we'll call "Chipflix" and cash in on the Netflix marketing scheme. I'll get back to you.

Wish I could come for shoes and mimosas--two of my favorite things! It's always weird/sad/hard coming back from visiting home, but glad you jumped right back into the swing of things.
Wish I was in town for your shoe trunk show- the colors are stunning!

Check out my Rocks Paper Metal giveaway!
It has to be tough being so far from your family, I can't imagine only getting to see mine a handful of times each year.
And not having good summer weather is always a huge let down as well.
I hope things get sunny again real soon.

I love your denim vest!
hey lady! it's been a while, but it sounds like you're doing well! i hope you're recovering from the homesickeness- that's the worst, and i can't wait to hear about your event!
in dramatic fashion
So glad you had a good trip home and that you loaded up on all things canuk. Pringles makes the Ketchup chips too ~ much better for shipping ~ just saying in case your Mama didn't know! Hope you guys had success today with the sale ~ if I was in the neighborhood I would have been there. xo
good lord I am still dreaming of the shoes!!!!
I need some of those shoes!!!!
I love all this bright sunny orange–perfect for combating homesickness! That, and a margarita...
Those shoes are too cute. I am liking the yellow/pink. I'll have to see if they have an online shop. They look comfy too. xo
i tried to buy a pair of those shoes last night. shocker- all the pairs i want are sold out in my size. i blame you for that. and now i'm on suicide watch.
:)
I'm glad you had a lot of quality time with your family : ) And I read your other post about not having T.V. or internet? What's up with that?!
Awesome shoes.... Very pretty outfit.
