0 up against a wall

would it be wrong of me to say that i'm more in love with this brick than my outfit? granted i am studying to be an architect so it's probably a good thing, but sometimes i wonder just how much i should love turn-of-the-century industrial brick? because i really, really love it {steel fire escapes too}! there's something about it that is just completely romantic to me, the texture, the grittiness, the colors, the fact that you can see how it was made, constructed & aged. stop me, i'm rambling i know. in other exciting news my new coffee maker {since the last one suffered a sudden & unexplained death} is out for delivery today! yay! no more making coffee on the stove top - because you & i both know that not having coffee was not an option. i hope that your tuesday is going well & that it's as beautiful where you are as it is here. god, i just love the avenues - especially in the summer. l-o-v-e, it's practically a nat king cole song over here.

0 my little sister just ran a half marathon

go squishy! she was awesome! we got a little lost & got there 10 minutes later than expected so, i kind of didn't have the camera ready when she came sprinting across the finish line - disappointed doesn't quite cover how i felt. but man, she is fast! she ran it in 1:41 & that's taking 3 bathroom breaks.  we then ventured to the park cafe & had a most delicious breakfast. sarah tricked ivan into switching her seats so he ended up eating breakfast with my sunglasses on - the sexiness can't fully be captured in pictures but i tried. afterwards ivan just wanted to take a nap but i wanted to shop & ohmygod!ifoundthemostadorablecontactcaseknowntohumankind! i mean really, look at it! it's so cute i literally freak out every time i see it! although it is a little creepy when I take off the eyes to use it {c'est la vie} even though ivan napped for what seemed like an eternity he did manage to wake up long enough to make us some lamb & brussels sprouts - oh my yum!  we watched "the hobbit" & unfortunately even the vast amount of wine we drank could not save that movie from itself & its horrendous addiction to overly-done cgi - i'm scared to think of how we would have felt about the movie sober! enough movie reviews though - happy mother's day to you all! i hope you made your mothers' {& grandmothers' for that matter} day a little brighter. i will see you all later! monday comes too soon.

you're my hero!


sarah with the kids she helped train for the race.
oh baby!

we're sexy & we know it!

seriously people! i'm so unbelievably ecstatic about this find, it probably isn't healthy.
because what is a blog post without a picture of some deliciousness?

0 complimentary colors

i'm a big fan of orange & this skirt has been a staple in my wardrobe. pairing it with a  blue top ups the ante a bit which i love. i'm also a huge fan of the light summer scarf - more of these need to be added to the wardrobe, seriously. these pictures are from that day my hair went crazy, and to be perfectly honest i was hoping to photoshop them before i posted them, but it seems my access to the computer lab has ended - damnit! anyway, now that school is over working has commenced - speaking of which, i'd better get back to drafting. hope you all have a wonderful weekend! happy friday!
