love*birds: 8.15.12

things i am loving this week:

~ thai food. the whole family got together this week and ordered a crap-ton of thai food. you can't go wrong with coconut anything.

~ family time. i know, we used this one last week. but our baby sister is in town and we have filled our week with laziness and laughter.

~ i love that our families are all friends. by that, i mean that all of our in-laws get along.
~ we went to visit a few stores this week. they will be sponsoring the blogger meet-up we are having next month. if you live in minnesota, you need to check these stores out. seriously, i couldn't be more impressed with their service and product.*

here are some other things we are loving this week.

nora bird

vintage cropped plaid jacket

i know that it's still summer, but fall is just around the corner. and you can't get much better than these fall colors. this jacket is perfect for layering...i can see it with a skirt and riding boots or jeans and a t-shirt!

time travel print

they couldn't have said it better in their description:  "frame and hang this illustration on your wall as a reminder to be adventurous and try new things! It's time to travel people ♥ ". perfect, right?

owl dreamcatcher

with baby on the way, i can't stop thinking of ways to decorate the room. this plush dreamcatcher is perfect for boys and girls the same!

          vintage tan flat sandals          

hopefully my feet will go back to normal soon, but in the meantime, and even not in the meantime, these are the perfect summer shoe!

60s tangerine babydoll dress

ok, maybe i don't want fall to come too quickly. i have been loving babydoll dresses a lot lately, and the color and collar of this dress are so perfect!

hug your brother

mimi is excited to meet her little brother. let's all hope it happens soon!!

megan bird

birds and bow dress

i love the vintage feel of this dress, not to mention the bow collar and the little birds on a wire pattern. so adorable!!

vintage riding boots

are riding boots a good birthing present? because these are nora's size. while i wish they were my size, she is definitely a close second on who i would rather have these boots!

square dancin' vintage skirt

what a fun skirt! it would go great with the boots above! or with any boots in my closet. no?

silhouette clutch

i think this little purse would make the cutest bridesmaid's gift. or any kind of gift...so cute!

spiked beaded statement necklace

i love this necklace. it's so unique and would make any outfit stand out!

take one, leave one library

these little libraries are popping up all over minneapolis. they are basically a small little outdoor library that people put in their yards. the idea is that if you want a book, you take one and if you have a book, you give one. there are both adult and children's books inside. we plan on taking the kids to this one tonight (it's two blocks from our house) to drop off a few books.

what are you loving today?
