I look at my girl, “Honey, do you know that I love you?”
“Yup.”
“You do?”
“Yup. ‘Cause you take care of me when I sick. And you make me spaghetti!  That my favorite dinner.  You make it for me a lot!”

There you have it.  That’s how you know someone loves you.

Gazebos? Really?

There’s this secret that everyone else is in on, and yet I’m left out of.  It’s a secret that everyone just instinctively knows, it’s in the DNA, except that I seem to be missing that gene.  It’s the “What the heck is the real purpose of Gazebos” gene.

Honestly, what is the purpose and the logic of having a tiny little gazebo shoved in around a beach, trees, and field?  It’s only big enough for maybe three people and it seems to serve no function.  I have yet to find a gazebo of who’s purpose and function I am capable of gleaming.

It’s a tiny little wood structure in the middle of nowhere with rather uncomfortable seating, so it’s plain that they don’t want you resting there. The views are usually obstructed by timber. It’s never in a convenient location. Plus, there’s a decided lack of hammocks. So really, what’s a gazebo for?

Other than being a fun background for a fashion blogger of course.

Running Lanes and Sheds

While away it was a pure joy to run down this country road.  It was long and hilly with lots of great farms along the way, and I was able to just not think and run while listening to Tina Fey’s Bossypants. Whenever I turned off the main road and saw this tiny little shed, I knew my run was really starting.  It marked the first third of my planned mileage and this is when I felt I could really open up.  On the way back, the shed gave me hope that I was but a mere third from home and yes, I really could do this.  So you see, either way it has some great feelings attached to it already.

I  made a mental note to come back on a walk and take some outfit shots along my favorite country lane and tiny shed.

I’ll miss you.

For a period of time, my style was all about minimalism.  Black and grey dominated my closet so much it was a bit of a joke among friends.  Clearly those days are over.  To be fair, they only lasted a handful of years, for prior to that I was all about bold and audacious clothing as well.

In high school I loved wearing things that were unexpected, but uniquely me.  I also had a period of time where my style icon was Drew Barrymore from Mad Love.  I even got a perm and cut my hair like her.  *Nope. No pictures exist from that golden era.  Thank Goodness!*

In the last several years I’ve gotten back to that bolder and more unexpected style of dressing.  I think it’s because I don’t like being told what to do or how to dress.  And I like a little bit of that shock value in clothing that is not quite what you would assume to see.

Maybe I just like rocking the boat a bit.
Maybe more than a bit.

In Case There Was Ever Any Doubt…

…I’m a big ol’ hippie.  I realized as I got dressed, that I loved every piece, and that I loved everything together.  And then I realized that there was no denying that it’s all very boho, very lounge, and very 70s.

And I’ve also realized I don’t care.  I’m going to be the crazy ninety year old woman in palazzo pants and a kimono.  Unless of course it’s post apacalypse zombie land…in which case, I’ll be wearing a kimono over my two holstered pistols, bow, and katana.  Priorities right?

Dress To Match

When things happen in life they sometimes have untended consequences.  For example, since I’ve seriously hurt my toe and made it black and blue all over, I think it entered my subconscious and made me pull out this black and blue number.

That, or this dress is just too darn fantastic to just sit around and it hides the unsightly toe perfectly.  Either one fits.

Yup, That’s What I’m Gonna Do

Wear hats and sunnies in the Autumn.  Clearly I’m so sun phobic that given the chance to wear a wide brim felt fedora I’m going to take it.  This was the morning we headed over to the grandparents before I headed out to the last day on set this month for the feature film, Synchronicity.    Knowing I was going to be on set outside for a lot of the day played into the sun-phobic outfit.  
And of course the second I started taking pictures, baby girl had to get in there to join me for them.  The best part was that she started posing for them.  Copying the moves she’s seen me make, and telling me how to stand.
