ain't laurent.

the big news around here is the giant surf hitting hawaii's north shores this week. the expected waves of 40-50ft high, biggest this decade, were deemed too dangerous and deadly even for professional big-wave surfers. oh how i wish i was at the beach house this week...these huge waves are such an awesome sight to see.

another jeans + tee combo wearing this parodical tee from Patty's Closet. in case you were wondering, the saying was meant to be somewhat of a spoof on the renaming of the legendary fashion house, yves saint laurent. the brand's most recent designer chose to drop 'yves' and work under saint laurent. the iconic interlocking YSL symbol is what many of us associate the brand with, and some people were not happy with the loss of Y. the result? this tee. what are your thoughts on this?

stay tuned tomorrow for another awesome giveaway.

the sweater.

since i've been wearing this sweater to death, a back-up was necessary. plain, simple, and neutral. and, although it will pretty much go well with anything, this time it felt right with just denims and a great heel.

this weekend was filled with lots of good eats, drinks,

and shopping.

how was your weekend?

of course, the day i had an opportunity to snap a few pics, i wasn't wearing anything blog worthy. just a casual friday outfit built around these shoes. in fact, all of my recent outfits have been built around these shoes, meaning lots of pencil skirts and cropped jeans. the fact that they are really comfortable doesn't help, but i'm sure i'll grow tired of them soon (not!).

tomorrow i'm volunteering at an event at the aquarium. i'm looking forward to it since it's been years since my last visit.
not sure what i'll be doing, but hopefully i can sneak away to take a few pictures.

what are you doing this weekend?

out of the blue, mini-he asked me to find

those "square things with the dots."

so, here's a couple of the creations i made with my steady hands!
