love*birds: 8.28.13

things i am loving this week:

~ school started. while i love summer, it's nice to have the kids back on a schedule. plus, they both seem to love their teachers, so that's a huge plus.

~ mom's wine night. every year for four years now, two other moms and i have gotten together at the beginning of the school year to cry and talk about our kids starting another year of school.

~ henry told me he wants to get his master's in reading. eva wants to be a gymnastics, swimming, art, and music teacher. i love their ambition.

~ it's hotter than hot over here. i don't love that in and of itself, but i am happy that summer has decided to stick around a little.

~ we still have camping trips planned...including some sites with fabulous waterfalls...i can't wait!

~ nora and i are part of a super cool photo shoot this week...we can't wait to share pictures. lots of great vintage!

~ shopping. i know, i love it every day, but i have really had the itch to shop lately, and i think i'm going to need to take a day to do it!

and here are some other things we are loving this week.

geometric tribal bracelet

i love how simple, yet chic this bracelet is. no need to layer it with anything else...it's a piece of art all on its own!

gold triangle bag

i have been on the hunt for a fun bag for winter. i like the idea of white in winter...plus the sassy gold triangles. this is so fun!

geometric dress

apparently i am loving geometric shapes this week! but really, the colors, the pockets, and the shape of this dress are amazing. i might need it!

70s jumpsuit with fringe

i know this jumpsuit isn't very practical. but who needs practical when you have fringe? i am in awe of this suit and need it in my life!!

unicorn blazer

it's a blazer with unicorns on it. enough said.

Purple Ivy

Ivy is the epitome of glamour in this vintage-inspired outfit.  the colors together, and the great silhouette of both the skirt and shirt pair perfectly with that amazing turban she is wearing. what a great outfit!
