Farewell, Seattle

We're off on our California road-trip tomorrow.


It'll probably be a little while before I can post again, but see you at the new house!

Mmmm, Tree Hugger

The Tree Hugger: Fresh tomato sauce, mozzarella, sun-dried tomato, spinach, mushroom, artichoke hearts, broccoli, roma tomato, garlic & olives.

Tasty vegetarian pizza-goodness from Zeeks. YUM.

First Peek

Only a peek at the kitchen for now, because the house and yard are completely empty.

I'm actually pretty excited about the kitchen because the appliances had not yet been installed when I was down there. I'm happy to see stainless steel, but more importantly, GAS RANGE. Seriously, you don't know how happy I am to be cooking with gas instead of electric. Makes me almost get over the fact that the microwave is located directly above the range (a pet peeve of mine).

* There's a reason for those missing doors. They've been taken off to prevent pilfering, I've been told.

Not Since Middle School

I haven't worn shoes this chunky since middle school (which I can't believe was 10 years ago!).

But I like the rustic red... and the inches they add to my 5'2" self. I haven't fallen over or twisted my ankle in these, so I think they're keepers :)

Anyway, enough with the shoes. My next post will be about my new house, because move-in day's just 3 weeks away!

Silver Shoes

When my cousin, the bride, told us to find strappy silver heels, I thought, "Oh, that'll be easy."

I was entirely wrong.

It was surprisingly difficult to find a pair of strappy silver heels in stores (that didn't cost an arm and a leg). Strappy silver gladiator flats and wedges were abound, but alas, nothing suitable for a traditional bridesmaid.

Luckily I found this Nine West pair on amazon a couple days ago. They're cute and something that I'd definitely wear again after the wedding. And the best part is that they're on sale for less than $30. So inexpensive that I'm considering purchasing another pair in either green or orange.

Cute, yes? Let's hope they're comfortable. At least I've got a little over a month to break them in if need be.

Old Find: Anthropologie, Fall 2000

Last of the Anthropologie scans. From the Fall 2000 catalog.

I can't believe I still had these, but it's been fun looking through them.

Old Find: Anthropologie, Holiday 2000

Continuing what has turned into "Anthropologie Week." Scans from the Holiday 2000 catalog. This is probably my favorite set so far.

Adore this last outfit!

Old Find: Anthropologie, Holiday 1999

Another Anthropologie catalog from the recently found stash.

Some window-treatment inspiration. I am absolutely in love with the first set and hope to find something similar for my bedroom.

Old Find: Anthropologie, Fall 1999

While packing for the move the other day, I found a stash of old catalogs.
