An Imagination for Elegant Attire

The Airman and I are going away this weekend to Panama City. It's a retreat our church is doing and I don't know much about it except that we're going to be staying in a nice hotel and listening to a speaker. I know I should probably just pack normal clothing but I find myself looking again and again at the few nice pieces I have hanging in my closet, dreaming about old black-and-white films. You know, the ones where the main man and woman meet at a classy bar.

She is sitting there, back straight, legs elegantly crossed, sipping her glass of champagne, when he comes along, suit coat unbuttoned, fedora tilted at a rakish angle. Suddenly, she has an overpowering urge for a cigarette, and who should be there ready and willing with a lighter? You guessed it.

Images from weheartit. Don't know whose they are. Let me know if you do.

Shopping and Wishing

A friend of mine is getting married soon and I would love to be able to attend her wedding. Unfortunately, that would mean traveling back home to Michigan and I don't know if I can do that. But doubts as to wether I can afford a plane ticket haven't stopped me from searching for the perfect dress. Knowing my friend her wedding will be timeless and elegant and I wanted to find a dress that would give off the same feel. So, like the smart little girl I am, I zipped over to Anthropologie and found the perfect dress.



Of course dream dresses always come at a price. So, after finally admitting I will never get this dress, I found another a little closer to my price range.



I so hope I can go.

To Lazy to Write, So Here's a Picture

A picture is worth a thousand words, right? (Hope it's not against some writerly code to hide your laziness behind overused cliches, cause I'm pulling that card right now.)

This is a picture of me and my little sister at the beach. I wish they were still here.

After having people visit for so long my house is finally quiet.
