Some Me Time

Hiya friends,

So I have decided to take a short "end-of-summer" hiatus and focus on some much-neglected things in my life.

Lesson plans-  here I come!  You better watch out.
I'm about to get so organized and inspired it's gonna knock my students' socks off.  Or ballet slippers.  Whatever.

I'll see everyone after Labor Day.  Hopefully with some really magical, fall-inspired outfits.

Stay awesome, internet.
love, stacie.

  

Hooray! Finally...

Dress: Nordstrom.  Vintage cowboy boots.
J.Crew belt.  H&M pendant necklace.
Isabella Fiore bag.

...cowboy boots!

And just in time for a weekend in Montana.  Perfect.

Oh hello!

Wowza.
It's been quite difficult getting into the swing of things after my break.  And it doesn't help that I've been working lots this week, and really had no desire to put on anything other than jammies when I got home.

But here I am.
Just in time for another weekend.  Well, almost.

I missed you all, friends!  Can't wait to see what you've been wearing while I was away :)

Blouse: Anthro.  Shorts: Old Navy.  Bag: Gap.
Tory Burch sandals.  Stella & Dot gold cuff.
Vivi Dot button ring.

The Flaw in My Plan...

So I had this great outfit planned out for today, ready to start the week after vacay all fresh and exciting.

Then I remembered I told the Husband he could take the camera on his Canadian fishing trip this weekend.  And he doesn't get back till tomorrow.  Shoot.

Well, the good news: on go the sweats!  ahh that's nice.

And instead I'll share with you the, ahem, whole two photos I took on my trip.  Enjoy.

This is what I did the majority of my time last week.  Jealous?  I would like to go back now please.

Hey Mom!  That's you over there floating away on the right.  You're so famous.

We did remove ourselves from the beach a few times and took to the hills where several wineries overlook beautiful Lake Chelan.  

And there you have it.  My two pictures commemorating our trip.  I should be a professional iPhone photographer.

Alright, but I'm not quite done with all my iPhotos yet.  Some lovely things awaited my on my return home...

I was surprised by some blooms on the bulbs I planted this spring.  That was a fun welcome home.






Also discovered the yellow flowers pictured below.

 They were growing out of my driveway.
Because I'm super classy.

So I did what any sensible gardener would do.  

I cut them.  

And put them in my kitchen.  

Perfect.

And finally, was pretty excited to find this bad boy waiting for me at my front door.  

Ah September Vogue.  

Can't wait to dive in.

 
Well that's it for my little photo montage.
Maybe, someday soon, I'll post outfits again.
I hope so.  Sweatpants are pretty boring.

A Little Escape

ModCloth Whispering Willow dress.  Hobo International clutch.
Naughty Monkey wedges.  Vivi Dot button ring.
Stella & Dot turquoise ring.  Lace blouse: UO.  

As I am writing this suitcases are being zipped, the house secured shut, and the car loaded up.
Oh man. I'm looking at a week of doing little more than lay out by a big ol' lake.  And I can't wait.

So I hope everyone has a fantabulous week and I'll see you on the flip side of my lovely little getaway.  Hopefully much more tan than when I left.

Some Red, Some White, Some Floral, Some Stripe.

Pant: Anthropologie.  Sandals: UO.
Gap top.  Thrifted blouse.
Vivi Dot Teal and Purple Scalloped Watch Necklace.

Whoops and some tummy too.  Sorry about that.

Um, it's Friday.  fyi.

Aren't I helpful?

I mean, what would you do without me?

Exactly.

Black Dress: Take 3

Lulu*s dress. Vivi Dot Fleur De Lis Watch Necklace.
H&M bracelets.  Unlisted bag. Shellys sandals.

Why hello!
Here I am again wearing the dress I swore I'd remix a million times this summer.
As you can see, I have not quite hit that goal.  But I'm cool with that.

To recap, here is the first take.
And this is the second go-around.

Today some more layers were added.  And some stripyness.  (I think I just made that word up.)  And some orange.  And some white.  Oh and grey too.  In case you can't tell from looking at my pictures yourself.  You're welcome.

Is it Friday yet?
