monday was lots of fun. i styled a shoot for a very wonderful person and lifecoach,
megan jo wilson. it was fun to get to 'play dress up' with her. then i attended the screening of
my heart is an idiot with the lovely
sara hallie richardson. i did not get dressed for more than a cozy movie theater. i didn't even wear my watch or makeup, but somehow i ended up staying at sonny's until 1am, meeting the movies' star and director. i just went with flow and had a lot of fun.
tuesday.
wearing:
chambray - goodwill
tank - splendid
jeans - j brand
shoes - h&m
on tuesday i treated myself to pancake tuesday at hot suppa. the blueberry pancakes were my favorite thing on the menu until they took them off. when i heard they served them only on tuesdays, i had to go. after breakfast, i met sarah from
rice & beans vintage to pick up some goodies she was donating for
swap maine. i had a meeting and then just hung around at home for the rest of the rainy day.
wednesday.
i had a workout with my trainer in the morning and then spent the rest of the day cleaning and going through my clothes for the swap. i think i also went to the bank, but did not really get dressed. i think the weather was really getting to me by the middle of the week.
thursday.
wearing:
tank - gap
sweater - old navy
belt - a&f
jeans - j brand
shoes - urban outfitter
necklace - gap
necklace - wylers
ring - f21
bracelet - h&m
at this point, i have had enough of the rain. i decided i wasn't going to let it get me down, so off to boston i went. i got to see one of my favorite people, my sister. we had a lovely dinner and went to the denim after dark event at
madewell. i love in-store events. there is always good energy and food and drink, like cupcakes and sangria. i love shopping with my sister. i love helping her find things and give her my opinion. she has such effortless style on her own, but it is always fun to play with her.
friday.
wearing:
shirt - goodwill
jeans - j brand
shoes - urban outfitters
belt - a&f
once again, it rained. well, i guess, it was more of a mist. which i think is far worse than rain. i got home very late from boston and got up very early to go to my first
social media breakfast maine. it was well worth the few hours of sleep i got. this month's breakfast was about marketing creatively. the speakers they had were awesome and really got me thinking about how to use social media effectively. i spent the next 6 hours of my day setting up for the first annual
swap maine! i had a yummy dinner at silly's with terry and went to bed to rest up for the big day..
saturday, swapday.
wearing:
shirt - free people
tank - j. crew
jeans - j brand
shoes - h&m
bracelet - c/o sun city
this was the big day! the first swap maine! it was a great day and the event was a success! if i look like i am about to fall asleep in these pictures, it is because they were taken after the swap and boy was i tired. on this day, everyone was a winner. we made money and made a large donation for goodwill. everyone who came out scored cool free clothes and a bag full of local swag. and i got to host this amazing event and get some really awesome new things. (will post more details about this soon) after running the swap, i had dinner at duck fat. yum, bgt and fries.. then i met up with some girlfriends for drinks. i was so surprised after the day i had that i was able to stay up until the wee hours of the night (or morning), but it was fun, so it was worth it.
sunday.
wearing:
sweater - f21
tank - gap
pants - gap
shoes - SWAP!!
jacket - f21
today i slept in. terry treated me to brunch at hot suppa. we went to the apple store. then i spent most of the day at my parent's house. i did my laundry (washed all my new clothes from the swap), had dinner with them, and just hung out. i ended the evening with a movie, due date, with terry, his sister, and her fiance. it was a funny movie, complete with brownies. we stayed up late. a nice way to spend my last non-work night before my vacation was over.
p.s. i am wearing my first item from the swap! check out these sweet flats i got.
monday.
i wore sweats. i stayed inside. i cleaned. i just wanted to relax before i had to go back to work.
even though it rained through my entire vacation, i still had a lot of fun. i got a much needed break and got something done. obviously, not as much as i wanted, but i don't know if that is ever possible. i again want to say the clothes could have been better, but just wait for the sun to come out again and i know my inspiration will not be lacking..
