random collection

i just love her.

YUM.  brown butter is so up my alley.

wonderful thoughts for new mommas - not goopy or all encompassing but some good ones to be sure.

the end-all concealer, so i hear.  i don't own it, but it seems glamorous & like a wonderful investment.

my cute sister has started a blog about girls needing treats.  yes. 

and does anyone want to weigh in on really really long hair?  i don't think i've ever had it this long.  it started as an accident -- and now i'm intentionally amish ish with it.  except, it doesn't feel amish, it feels pretty and random.  but please tell me if it's too long, i don't even think it stops at the bottom of the picture?! ;)

Etta's

Late breakfast at Etta's with my boo. Happy Saturday. Xxo

a pretty mess

just enjoying a lazy, rainy saturday mornin'.  our place is messy but it will be easy to pick up.  there's just piles of peony petals around, something i obvsly don't mind!  they're leftover from last weekend's Hooray For Love party & pictures from that AMAZING party to come ...  xoxo

it's an "updo" sort of wknd

obsessed with the hair, stripes & earring /necklace combo

again, wonderful stripes & necklace.  + neckline?!
both pics from this is glamorous

day four of my face peel.  it's pretty intense, but i'm feeling less icky than i anticipated today.  i've pulled all my hair way up to get it out of the way and just trying to embrace the insanity of having a peel y & buttered up (cetaphil coated!!) face as i go around town.  here is a yummier updo lady to inspire our Saturday evening plans & striped thoughts...  xo

happy saturday

The blog is back.  I thank the three pretty ladies that noticed.  I've been distracted by my real job this week, though I have to say that I so treasure the minutes I spend on here, showing "off" stuff that super catches my eye and I really missed it.  So I think we're back.  Sometimes I go on on other cutey pie girl blogs and I feel sort of intimated by all the beauty and twinkle and funny little things they find, and then I have to stop myself dead and say "ash, it's so not a competition, even though the girl in you wants it to be."   and with that, i am now about to do what i just really want to start doing.  i'm not going to capitalize anymore.   capitol letters don't give me any joy and it feels un real here.  And those of you that get correspondence from me, know i am so not a capitolizer.  so that's over, because that was a pretend blog move.  and i'm also going to be more flowy and thoughtful about what i put on here.  i'm not going to worry that it's from a cooler girl's blog. k, true confession time officially over.  happy saturday.

Happy Random Saturday.

I'm so soso happy it's Saturday.  Here are my some recent "orphan" pics that I wasn't sure how to formalize into a post.  i think this will be my new thing.  a "random" post.  kind of perfect.  off to go for walk with one very pretty San Franciscan blond.  And waiting on another pretty one to be born into the world!  Can't wait, can't wait.  Come on little "A" - there is a big & rad & funny group waiting to love you!!  

From the Martha Stewart May 2011 issue.  Hot off the press & I'm pretty hot for it.

He** bent on being sugar free so no marshmallow treats for me.

Picasso.  Wonderful, with lots going on.

This is what my friend Ricky has attached to his google.  He's talented and just so.

Pretty much want to wear these shoes on the day of my funeral.
