Dressing for oneself

I love seeing women dressed in uninhibited and creative ways. 

How cute is this kid?

Does anyone know where I can find a very large watermelon?  I'd like to try this out...

Who is the man behind Elmo?

We can't wait for this documentary to come out.

Men's shirtdress

While reading one of my favorite blogs, I happened to see this amazing video:


Ex-men's shirt as new dress for you from general ink on Vimeo.

I tried it out with hubby's shirt, but it didn't quite work.  I would have posted a picture, but the shirt stretched in weird ways over my post-pregnant belly.  Plus, no one wants to see a large bum exposed to the cool autumn air.

Groovy weekend

Hooray!  The weekend is finally here and hubby can now spend time with us.  Nothing like some Earth, Wind, and Fire to start off a groovy weekend:

I can't believe that

it's true.  Hubby and I both experienced the phenomenon..

Note:  Thanks Tita Tina for showing us the video.

If my history teacher could see this

What do you get when you mix history, fashion, and dance?  Probably something that looks like this...

Capturing summer in an instrument

Summer is swiftly rolling by, as evidenced by the shorter days, cooler nights, and the abundance of "back-to-school" sales.  Hubby and I are trying to savor these last weeks of good weather and freedom by stuffing ourselves with Michigan fruit and ice-pops.  Lately, I've also been listening to people play the ukulele.  Whenever I hear that happy strumming, I think of smiling people and summer island living.

Falling asleep or waking up?

This baby is just too cute.

One store, many stories

I recently watched this Etsy video on this blog.  I loved the store owner's sense of style and philosophy.  Second hand items have history and it's neat that you can uncover part of their stories at his store.  Enjoy!

Transportation

I keep listening to this piece of music over and over again. Somehow it transports me somewhere else. I'm not sure where this place is, but it's a place more beautiful and more hopeful than here.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Cheering up

I found this video on a friend's blog and couldn't stop laughing.  There's something about exaggerated dance movements and hammer pants that brightens my day.  Enjoy!

Vacajun sounds

Some lighthearted music to ease us back to reality...
