Pink Hued

I bought a new succulent baby, and I’ve been trying to pull my room into a mid-century modern(finally learned the technical term for my taste in furniture) aesthetic. Here’s a little nook on my dresser that I absolutely love. The art is by my Mom, based off a painting by Bunny Miele! Mom recreated it for me as a Christmas present last year :) and the ice cream cone was a beautiful lucky thrift find haha. I really want to paint my room white, but I’m scared it will get expensive… we’ll see. Slowly but surely it’s coming together!

Its so pretty!! Little sniffy nose is always interested in what I'm photographing :)

Life lately

I didn't realize I went a whole month(and then some) without posting anything, so here's a few things I've been up to lately!

Jared, Sophie and I found a cute little local brunch type restaurant! It's called Sleepy Bee, and it's totally delicious(although a bit pricey). If you're into organic stuff and grass fed animals, this is the place for you.

Bathing this stinky sleepy beast. Don't let that smile fool you, he is miserable whenever he's in the tub. This is his least favorite pass time.

Watching this fella roll around on his new long board as much as he can before the weather gets too cold. Check that gnarly bruise... it's not from long boarding... he doesn't even remember what its from.

If you're near a krispy kreme, do yourself a favor and stop in and try the ghost busters donuts. They're incredible!

Miss Sophia got herself a new apartment all to herself(and Otis of course). I deemed myself the muscles for the day and helped her move in and get settled. Its looking adorable so far!

At our local kroger there is an awesome gentleman in the seafood department who always makes the most delicious samples. So delicious, that we always end up buying whatever he's dishing out. His most recent dish is salmon, and the people behind the counter will add all the spices and butter and seasonings you want, put it in a bag, and all you gotta go is cook it. It is SO FRIGGIN AWESOME and tasty!! We're obsessed. And look how pretty!

Mom, Duke and I went to visit Star the other day and on our way back we came across a little ice cream stand that just so happened to be open. Of course we stopped. I'd been craving a blue dipped cone and it hit the spot. There were signs in the window however, that advertised an apple spice sundae and that they're open until Novemeber, so it's safe to say I'll be back...

 And last but certainly not least, baby Willow entered the world! Jared's brother and sister-in-law's first little nugget. Holding her was kinda magical, as soon as she was in my arms I instantly felt so peaceful. I can't wait until she's old enough to play with us like Jared's other niece and nephew :)

The Cone

Everyone probably knows about my obsession with ice cream by now. I decided to look up a unique place to get ice cream because I was getting burnt out on the same old same old at Dairy Queen. Boy, did I hit the jackpot...

It's called "The Cone" and it is magical!! They have twists, dips, sundaes, and so much more! There's even a side section of frozen yogurt if you're into that. We brought Bufford along with us, and he garnered a lot of attention of course. I got him a cone and instead of licking it like a sane being, he bit off the entire top and chewed on it with the more bewildered look on his face. Such a dingus. Jared got a dipped cone, cotton candy shell. I got a strawberry twist. I'm so in love with this place, not only is it delicious, but it's adorable.

...there it goes.

I cannot WAIT to go back!!

Mini Modcloth Haul

I bought a few things from my favorite retailer last month, and as usual I am very pleased!

The first being this amazing phone case! You all know how obsessed with ice cream I am(right? well I am), so you know when I saw this I needed it. It's not much for protection, but I'm really careful with my phone. The case itself is extremely soft(there was a jagged edge at the bottom but I don't really notice it anymore). My only real complaint is that the print of the cookie part of the ice cream sandwich is a little crooked, but I think that's something only I really notice because I tend to scrutinize haha.

You can get yourself the same phone case here!

The other thing I bought was a pair of shorts

Please excuse my dingy mirror.

They're made of a jegging-like material which I am still a little on the fence about. They're stretchy as all get out, which is great because they're super soft and comfortable. You can roll and unroll them depending on your mood/style for the day. The only bad thing is that they don't have pockets in the front! Its a bit weird, but there are worse things I suppose. They look great on though(they make my booty look outrageous!)

You can get yourself a pair here!
