Do It for Melfa!

Driving four hours across the bay for a crabbie feast with some crazies is always 100% worth it. "Working from home" is the best invention ever, especially when home includes intense sunshine and a pool and "working" includes Samuel Adams Blackberry Witbier and Duoz CheezeIts. Some people have all the luck.



Hayley enjoyed her vacation, even if it was spent having her picture taken roughly 50,000 times.



Sooo spoiled soooo sleepy...

Jebby came back for a visit from vet school orientation. So fancy.

Thanks for letting me sleep in yo bed again.

We ate pie for breakfast (and lunch. And after-lunch snack).

Couple of stone-cold, crab-catchin' killas.

Life is so hard...

Then...we feasted!

I'm always amazed at how drawn-out these weekends actually feel, especially given the long drive. Maybe it's the influx of alcohol to the system or the deadly amounts of Old Bay sprinkled on our souls. Either way, a long weekend at the cape is always better than, well, anything. CC11 FTW and I was only there 36ish hours!

On the way home, I stumbled across this gem while filling up my car (which, consequently tripped 240,000 miles somewhere around Onacock. That's my girl.)

May God contenue to bless America, I guess. Happy Monday!

Golden Slumbers + More

All this gloomy blah blah weather has got me in my usual January funk...I'm craving warm, delicious colors and bright yellows...golden hues and hints of glittery goodness. I guess the good thing is I'm not in the beloved (but frigid) Blacksburg, where I truly would be freezing my arse off.

This weekend I have the following (potential) plans:

- Go to Eastern Market and snoop around their thrifty/flea things

- Pop my RCC cherry and take a dip at the indoor pool

- Sand  my little pink table that I picked up at the Y last year and paint it some sort of tealy, greenish, seafomy color.

Sounds good to me! In the meantime, I will continue to stare at these cozy photos...summoning the sun one blog post at a time.

An upholstered desk chair = butt heaven.

This bed is so super cute I can't stand it. It started out an old blah boring white, and now look how fab it is! Perfect for lounging on weekends and snuggling with a cat. Or three cats. Meow.

My favorite part about this room is that it's teeny tiny but still fabulous. Literally a bed room. Holla to the matching bedside tables and sweet-as-punch polka dot headboard.

This house reminds me of a luxe country cottage/mansion somewhere where I should probs be living. Wallpaper, armoire, Burberry-eque jacket, green ploppy chair, hardwoods--done and done.

Introducing the most terrifyingly awesome wine cellar that ever existed!!! It's like walking into wine hell/heaven! Mega creepy, but pretty much to die for.

And finally....ready for Spring already. So. Ready. 

Freezing,

The Old Man Is Snoring

It is a drizzly grey day in Northern Virginia, but that means I get to rock my raincoat and sip tea till my heart's content. I finally moved my flowers inside, and now our front stoop is butt naked bare. I'm thinking pumpkins, I'm thinking wreaths, I'm thinking I need some serious decorations for this piece.

In the meantime, I will be daydreaming about this:

Roosters and long walks through the woods with my walkin' stick.
.

 .

Anthropologie living rooms.

.

 .
Wild and crazy manes and warm fall fashion.

.

 .

Weathered hardwoods and cool sunlight.

.

 .

Adorbs bedside ladders and hand-picked flower arrangements.

.

 .

THESE BOOTS. love.
.

 .

Any and all of these pillows all over my face.

.

 .
Entryway to the heavens, sigh.

.

 .

Meow, who wouldn't want to snuggle with that?!?

.

 .

Splash in da puddles.

Today I Wish I Were...

Sleeping in till 10am...

-

Playing hooky while rocking a granny sweater and reading delicious books.

-

-

Lounging by this window, getting drunk on fresh air and sunshine.

-

-

Riding bikes with friends along the flowery seashore.

-

-

Riding horses in the ocean.

-

-

Having a late-night dinner with my favorite friends.

...or sleeping in till 10am.

Le sigh.

And All I Really Want...

...is a bed. And a bottle of Alanis Morissette's rage. JKbutseriously.

Recently, all I've been daydreaming about is getting my bed/some bed up here so I can fill it to the brim with featherbeds, down comforters, delicious new sheets, and some serious pillow action. The whole sleeping-on-the-floor thing is starting to catch up with me (plus watching I Survived... right before bed is seriously not helping...whoops).

Here are some examples of what I've been thinkin' about:

1. Wallpaper heaven. Just joking, look at the headboard with the stripes!! and the blue and white color scheme and the crispy clean white sheets yumyum, yess please..
-
-
2. Ok, well, I've been dreaming about other stuff too. Look at these cute little teacups filled with jewels and junk. lovelovelove it. I will investigate this asap.
-

3. This bed, this headboard, those chairs, the curtains, the knicks, the knacks...I'm all over it. Let's get this (slumber) party started.

4. I have a feeling this room will bore me in a week, but right now, this is waaaaay superior to 30 year-old peices of foam on the ground that I share with an epic bed/floor hog. You know it's true.
-

-
5. Here are some new sheets that I'm feeling pretty good about. Love letter sheets!! Duh!! Then I really could read in bed...get it?!? buh.
-

-
6. Ok, whatever, it'd be nice to have a bathroom, too. ESPECIALLY one that's groovin' like this bad boy. Lights camera action, pop that bubbly bath!:
-

-
7. I saw this awesome collage/inspiration board that someone crafted and I'm feeling like this is my color scheme of the moment:

7. Ok, whatever, I just heart this picture. Awwwshucks.

Happy Tuesday lovers!
