FUNNNN-

I have this distinct memory of lying on the floor in front of the radio on a scorching summer day waiting for the perfect song to play so that I could record it on my tape.

And now I can have that again (kinda)!

Adolescence reclaimed!

Swagger.

One thing I love about mister is his love for music.

I like music, don't get me wrong, but I don't have any drive to discover new music. Occasionally I'll stumble upon something (like Miss Goulding) but it's not intentional.

Every couple of months mister and I will huddle together over a computer screen and he'll show me his discoveries, or just music he has that I might love. This months foray was explicit gold!

Lovely Ellie!

EXPLICIT. Did I mention that? But brilliant.

weekend on a volcano.

My first purchase when I have a grown up job.

Hello summer!

The classics never go out of style.

Love it. (Sartorialist)

just dance.

blackeiffel posted this video and I can't help but follow suit.

Not only vodka and tigers come from Russia.

dandelions.

I love them.

The yellow ones, the flowery ones, the seed ones.

The ones on etsy.

here and here!

Pursuit.

It's weird drifting away from friends.

Sometimes it's with the desperation of Tom Hanks screaming for Wilson and sometimes it's the quiet click of a door and sometimes you turn around because your hand has fallen out of theirs and they are gone. Or you are gone.

In any case you miss them.

(I want to be as I was here. Knowing that however long was just long enough.)

Yes!

Why isn't my name Oh Land?!?

Kitchen time with mamas.

We have orange counters. And orange floors.

I know, it's kinda crazy.

But it's just as enjoyable to muck about in your pajamas with wild hair in a kitchen with orange counters as a kitchen with marble.

Today we made homemade vanilla and planned a couple parties and ate some fresh banana bread (last nights kitchen time).

Gone for the weekend-

To watch them kiss some more forever.

It's Thursday! Thursday!

Tea.

Pride and Prejudice.

Ladies.

Crocheting.

Reasons why Thursday morning is going to be great.

Oh the friends you touch at camp..

The only picture of me from camp. A brave showing!

sweet french song.

I am enjoying this song immensely.

Like Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

One of my favorites, CUPOFJO had a lovely thought today on young girls... and the article it stemmed from.

Older and wiser.

I love summer USA TV.

Specifially White Collar and Suits (and Covert Affairs).

You know what I like about Suits (besides super attractive Macht, duh)?

It's a show about mentoring.

Where has mentoring gone?

There's a generation of people who are searching for direction and advice and an example of how to transition into adulthood (because honestly for the most part not many people my age know how to work hard) and no one is coming alongside them.

And back to lighthearted topics!

Ape Caves.

My Mom and I went last October and this weekend we went back, with 18 other people! I've taken no pictures this summer (not even at summer camp- crazy right?), but I snapped a couple hiking in the pitch black.

I love summertime.

I forgot my trainers but luckily my moccasins are up for anything! Not one slip.

Mama and me.

This is madness! Birthday edition.

moccs, to replace my rather worn pair.

I'm so over being embarrassed by royal wedding love.

love it.

Design mom posted this jumbo pillow beanbag and I realized... I could make that! What a glorious addition to my house.

Maybe to someone's house. We have a million chairs.
