the black maxi dress.

i've been wanting a simple black maxi dress that would be suitable for running around in. one that is short enough

to wear with flats. this isn't the perfect maxi dress,

but it's good for right now.

this weekend, i'll be going to an event for breast cancer awareness. coincidentally, i learned that a long time

friend has breast cancer.

do you have your perfect maxi dress?

what are your plans for the weekend?

snaps from a night market...

locally grown carrots

lemonade in mason jars + fresh kulolo (taro + coconut - yum!)

my friend's daughter's band (so cute)

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!

a week of blazers. military.

i know this isn't exactly a blazer, but it was the color and style i envisioned with this frilly dress. i'm a sucker for things with gold buttons...adds oomph to ordinary pieces and just feels regal. maybe not this particular jacket, but

think band uniforms, military uniforms, and...

michael jackson's wardrobe?

what do you think about military inspired pieces?
