amber and i don’t really have a whole lot to do other than put on pretty things and lounge around in awkward places.
that’s a total lie.
i actually have a whole “to do” list – ahem, notebook – waiting for some attention, but seriously, if you were being propositioned by both a Mead five-star and this handsome fellow (the DRESS. the person in it isn’t a “fellow.”) who would you choose?
for the record, i used to entertain the idea that i would feel pretty in this dress.
that was until amber borrowed it and i realized it had been hand-sewn by a million tiny angels,
each singing her name in perfect harmony.
oh gag me. and stop being so freakin’ perfect in all MY clothes, amber!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!
i can deal though. i’m cool like that. a lot of the “cool like that” being hinged on the fact that i also own this dress, so i didn’t have to stay at home, alone and poorly clothed:
an interesting fact about this dress:
one of the sweetest girls i’ve ever met, named sarah, who lives in close proximity to the city of fresno, gave me this dress a few months ago – after offering up her very comfortable home as a place for me to stay on my way through her town. she had never met me prior to this. i could have been a complete lunatic.
i’m still not making any promises that i’m not. (a complete lunatic.) but this dress might complete me…
close-up time!!
yep… still kinda hate her for rockin this dress so hard.
of course!!
thank you again/for the billionth time/etc., to one of our most favorite men in the world, mr. ryan mihalyi, for his photographic genius, (it goes without saying, but the good ones are his handiwork. the not-so-good ones? we had a homeless man take those…)
also? we love you guys!!! have a fan-freakin-tastic friday!
you two gals are just darling!! Both those dresses are amazing!!

Ummm…. I recognize that mailbox and that fence and that gravel and … umm… is that my house? Are you ladies stalking me? I sure hope so.
That dress is gorgeous… and the shoes are perfect with it!
.-= Ali-bell´s last blog ..Some ebay things =-.
My, I didn’t even recognize that dress. I was like — that is so cute WAIT that used to be mine! I’m so glad it’s being loved.
Also, methinks that’s the belt you thrifted in my favourite Salvo. Fresno get-up!
.-= Sarah´s last blog ..Art =-.
aw!! thanks for the sweet comments guys!
-dani – i would assume that you mean mentally, in which case i’d have to say, “that’s up for grabs.” although i PERSONALLY think i’m ok
-diana – we have the same name. which makes it even stranger that we have the same dress visuals… LOVE IT!!
-emilie – yeah. we’re stalking you. duh!!
-sarah – YES!!! i didn’t realize that until you pointed it out, but you’re totally right. fresno was SO much fun!! xo
.-= diana´s last blog ..the internet hates me, amber’s computer hates her and my ipod hates the both of us =-.
I frequent your site, not sure of the cute petite brunette’s name…but she’s looking extremely skinny in these pics. Kind of worrisome skinny. I think that’s what the above person was asking if they wanted to know if she was “okay”. I’ve never commented before but I did feel compelled to say something…sorry if this is a sensitive subject. It only comes from a place of concern for a fashionista I admire.
lemontings,
Thanks so much for your comment, this has been quite the subject around the house, believe you us!
Diana was born tiny, but you know how sometimes life bites you in the ass one too many times… successively… and eating just ends up taking the last spot on your priority list for a month or two? Well, I think it happens to all of us and Diana is now starting to bounce back quite nicely.
Appreciative of your concern! She definitely has a healthy appetite, is feeling stoked and getting back to her dewy, rosy self! No worries.
You two look so yummy in that tub picture!
Whoa! Someone is too f-ing skinny!
The dresses are really beautiful and a wonderful blog to read along.
So Colorful dress, i love it!
i love it!
