on repeat.

this should have been called 'a week of canvas military jacket', because i have been wearing it every single day. not only that, but i have been wearing it with some kind of animal print. it's not often that we get cool-enough weather here, so i have to take advantage while i can...even if that means wearing the same jacket [or hunter rainboots, or fur coat] for three days

in a row. sorry if you're tired of seeing this.

i still haven't found a replacement time for taking outfit photos, so my apologies for the sporadic posts. i have been trying to snap a few after work before getting on the road...literally setting the timer for ten shots and that's it. this is as good as it gets for now. in the meantime, i've been more present on facebook talking about things i'm loving

and sales i've discovered. come hang out!

i may have mentioned before that we do not have an h&m here.

i have never set foot in one. when my sister was in california last week, i received this text:

"is there anything you must have from h&m?

i have one hour at the mall."

i immediately scoured their website and started sending her pictures of things that i wanted. as luck would have it, they either didn't have my size or the online items weren't in the shop yet. so i told my sister just grab anything SPRING and MINTY and FLORAL. this top was her translation of that [haha]. she and i have very different tastes and styles. i did, however, enjoy all the trader joe's goodies she brought back.

pardon the purple-ish tinge in these photos. not sure what happened, and in trying to color correct them,

i turned out quite pastey.

shut up and dance.

something about high waisted pants still cracks me up.

mini-she and i used to pull up our pj pants real high,

tuck in our shirts and parade around the house.

everyone laughs.

everyone.

whenever i wear my high waisted jeans, i'm always tempted to tuck and dance. it's so dorky and i get a kick out of it.

every. time.

go on, try it. tell me you won't laugh.

new item on the menu...love them.

nightmare on oomph street.

i had one of those nightmares that was just too real for comfort.

i always think of "what if" situations in my head...

then shudder at the thought.

they usually involve the minis,

so maybe it's just me being a paranoid mom.

it was late monday night (early tuesday morning) after the whole target online thing, and i knew i had to be up in a few hours. it felt as though i had just closed my eyes when mini-he was on a balcony and fell thru a tiny slot where the floor met the glass railing. it seemed like i was right next to him, but it took forever to reach him. i looked over and he had fallen onto the balcony below. i frantically told him not to move, that i was coming down to get him. he sort of looked at me with a smile, then walked to the railing and squeezed thru the opening between the wall and the railing and fell. there was silence for a few seconds, then i heard him screaming. i started screaming. i froze and couldn't see anything. then, i heard a BOOM. it was some big truck unloading something at mcdonalds across the street. i looked over and saw mini-he sprawled out on my bed.

i picked my heart up off the floor then hugged him

like there was no tomorrow.

some scary shiz.

love and blooms.

when i saw this blouse, i knew i had to have it.

if not for valentine's day, then just as an addition to my small, but growing collection of floral-y things.

and although it was a busy morning, packing treats and goodies,

i couldn't resist wearing it on valentines, even though i hadn't thought about how or what to wear with it.

enter trusty 'ol flares.

the white flowy chiffon and soft pink flowers felt

so dreamy and romantic...

hope you all had a wonderful valentine's day.
