As hard as it is to get up at 5:30 to run...

it's totally worth it. I ran around the reservoir this morning under starry skies and yesterday, this was my walk to the bus stop.

Wordless Wednesday

If only we got to keep our costumes...

Every once in a while, I get inspired for a flashdance back to the old days of my youth and I go through my albums and scan pictures. I recently had one of those moments and so I think I'll craft a few posts dedicated to them. I mean, come on, how awesome is this?

Have you ever seen so many glorious side-ponies?

We were awesome.

nothing. perfect.

After finding ourselves completely exhausted by the end of the week, we spent the weekend taking it easy.  We slept in on Saturday and walked to coffee.  John took a nap while I ran a couple errands.  We bussed downtown with simple goals: John wanted a hoodie, I wanted to replace my wine glass that I had broken the night before.  After a couple hours of shopping, we hunted down some espresso-tinis before heading home to don our sweats and with the windows open to let the smell of raindrops mix with the fall candles, cook a simple dinner and have a bottle of wine with a movie.  I love my husband and this little life of ours.

Fashion Friday

I don't know if it's the process of mentally changing seasons or if I'm fighting off a cold or something, but all week I've been battling being too cold or too hot and all I want to do is climb into my giant sweats, sip a soup bowl-sized latte, and read a book. (PS: I subbed the latte for wine last night and did that. It was divine!) Since I really don't have any business-casual sweats, I've been wearing jeans most of the week. I have had these forever, and although it's pretty uncharacteristically cutesy for me, I kid of love the hearts on these pockets.

I matched the tank with one of the colors on the pockets and layered the navy tee,and then tied it all together with these wonderful drab green and brown slip-on heels that I have had for a eons.  They only have a 2  1/2 inch heel so while it wasn't the same as kickin' it in my tennies, they were easy to wear all day and helped dress up my comfy-casual outfit.

PS: I feel like I look white-white already! What happened to my tan from 2 short weeks ago?

Sunkissed.

So glad I stopped to take these shots on a beautiful early morning last week.
