Three years ago today
I said I do no doubt
to spending the rest of my life
in love
with Todd.
We always laugh
and love
and laugh some more.
I’m beyond lucky
to have married the
sweetest
funniest
cutest
smartest
curliest hairest
and bestest
man I know.
Happy anniversary,
with love love love.
And here’s to many more years
just like this…
It was a (rare) lazy weekend,
but I still have a few photos
for this here little blog post.
Saturday was my dad’s birthday.
Amazingly funny and immensely lovable,
I’m so proud that he’s my papa.
Overalls.
Guitars.
Jokes.
And a whole lot of love.
That’s my dad ♥
and I hope he had a very
Happy Birthday!
I didn’t get to spend his big 6-0
with him, but my little sisters
made the most adorable cake.
This weekend I spent my time…
Buying creepies at an estate sale.
Buying pretties at the same estate sale.
Gettin my hair did.
Having cupcakes delivered to me in bed by Todd.
Sleepytime tea in my favorite mug.
Meeting up with pretty Remy.
Drinks and grilled cheeses with friends.
A walk to campus.
Where we chilled at the bar
in the historic Inn at Carnal Hall.
I’ve also been dog sitting
my friend GL‘s two Bichons.
She should have known better.
Check ya later.
This weekend marks
the third weekend
in a row
that I’ve taken
a road trip outta town.
Little Rock, Arkansas
was the target this time around.
Cory Branan set up
a last minute show,
so we made a night of it.
Checked into the Hilton
where we made our own
hotel bar.
Dinner at Pizza D’s.
Drinks, tunes, & Spiderman pop rocks
at White Water Tavern.
At the show I met Starr Crow,
a fellow Arkansas vintage seller & blogger!
It was so great to talk to someone face to face about
vintage,
photography,
and all the fashion bloggers we follow.
Check out her blog and Etsy shop!
Cory finally went on…
… and onto the bar.
Before the night was done…
we jumped for joy.
(and for more beer)
We devoured a fourth meal back at the hotel.
And at three am
we spent five minutes
nervously trying to jump the fence
to the hotel pool.
When all of the sudden
we watched two dudes
just open the gate
and walk right in.
Funniest part of the evening right there.
After just a few hours of
restless hotel sleep
and an 11 o’clock checkout time,
we headed home
tired, but happy.
I love lots of things about Oxford, Mississippi…
Drinks at City Grocery.
Sweet potatoes at Ajax.
Visits to William Faulkner’s Grave.
Square Books.
And now one of the cutest places in Oxford
is available on the ole world-wide.
My amazing friend Erin Abbott Kirkpatrick
just launched the website for her
adorable shop, Amelia.
And it’s just as cute & creative as she is.
If you ever find yourself in town,
you must stop by, have a cupcake,
& buy something cute!
In the meantime, check it out online.

Just got back from a three night
stay in Memphis.
We stayed up late
and were lazy all day.
Pretty stellar agenda
if you ask me.
Filled our time with
good friends.
watermelon.
40s (excuse me, 32s).
dive bars.
stupid sunglasses.
no sleep (not before 4 am anyway)
sweet tea vodka.
swimming pool.
fried food.
more beer.
the river.
the bo-keys.
bbq.
even more beer.
and dancing at wild bills.
Our cute little pit stop.
After being officially welcomed into Tennessee,
GLand I met up with old friends at
The Cove
Lil @bethykins
And good ole Cory Branan
The Lamplighter
I promise I’m not scaring this guy.
He asked me to use my camera.
Although, I’m pretty sure he thought it was a video camera
(despite the flashes).
Cause we got a pretty good song out of him.
40s & Watermelon.
The new Champagne & Cupcakes.
Girls dinner
Me and my BFF @kerrisnead
My other Memphis BFF, Brandy.
The talented Nina
…Who took this purty picture
The damage.
The legendary Wild Bill’s.
If you’ve never been,
you should.
Wish I had taken more photos,
but I don’t think I could have
captured it properly anyway.
Recovery the next day.
(with the help of sweet tea vodka + a new friend’s pool)
Last night in (mid)town.
Blues on the Bluff
Memphis music by the Mississippi River.
Goodbye breakfast
at Otherlands.
It was so great to spend
a bite of the summer
in my old town.
Now I’m back towards the Ozarks
worn the eff out.
