Ocean.

I have really been aching to go to the ocean.  Road trip?  I would even pick the Oregon coast.  There is something about wearing sweats and a sweater at the ocean.  I took these photos a few years back when we went and they get me wanting to go back for more every time I look at them.

Torture.

Why does J. Crew have to taunt me? Its rude.

Some of the their looks, I love.

Ideal.

I would kill for this chair.

I would kill for these antlers.

Wait no I wouldn't.

I don't want to go kill something in order to get them.

I just want them.

Eye Candy

I'm in love with this lookbook.

Envy part II.

I love fall.  And it is coming so soon.  I also love fall clothes.  After watching the september issue I got pretty excited about fall clothing.  Here are some items on my wish list.  I love 6,9,11, and 12 together.  Or 2,7, and 8.  Or 4, 14, and 5.  Or... I could go on forever!  What outfit would you put together?

Glamorous or gag-me?

serious character

when i lived in ohio last summer, we lived sort of in the country.

this little town called Lebanon was about five miles from my house.

its an old little town, with some serious character.

i'd take anyone of them. but i think the first is my favorite.

or the last, minus its yellow-ness.

which one is your favorite????

i can't believe i've never shared these. 

i dreamt about them for weeks :)

Lebanon is also the place i bought my little buddy, remember her.

i miss her EVERYDAY.
