I Smile {it's Wednesday!}

It's I Smile Wednesday.
What? You don't know?!

My smile moment this week should come as no surprise. Rob and I became Godparents to our gorgeous little nephew. It was the best and most beautiful smile moment of far more than just the past week.



what up, cuz?
...that face!
Of course, these didn't hurt. And the shiny thing behind them.
Hallelujah.

Take From Me My Lace

Everybody|Everywear {lace}
This month's EBEW invitation is lace. I don't wear much lace {though I adore the antiquated appeal of it}. Fun fact; my wedding dress contained not a stitch of lace, in favor of gauze.
Whether white & crisp or black & slinky, it's tough to deny that lace balances young, doll-like qualities in masterful measure with elegance & wisdom.
I met this challenge by creating a faux bib on this sundress, layering a full lace blouse beneath it.

Highs in the 70's

Things are glorious up in here. My new job is smooshing up my brain quite a bit {in a good way}, and I really really like it + everyone I work with is really coolsmartfunnynice.
Summer is creeping in slowly {which I actually prefer... hotter than hot temps spend plenty of time around the big lake, and with no a/c, I'm more than fine with lows in the high 40's to highs in the low 70's}. Speaking of 70's, I just got these jeans last weekend and I'm super into them. It's not often I buy jeans with plans to tailor them, but these comfy pups were more than worth the few pennies it cost to have it done!
These earrings were a gift from a dear, dear friend of mine. Aren't they special? And they move so well...

I Smile {it's Wednesday!}

Time for I Smile Wednesday.

For this happy little project's origin, visit Monster Cakes.
On with it...


This little man is my #1 smile moment/s of the whole week and weekend. My nephew babe. He is so much bigger already than he was on his birfday. I love him so.
...this storm on the lake which, however disappointing to have replaced would-be sunshine, was gorgeous to watch and allowed for lots of this... {photo by dan branovan}
...this! and the following treats, also compliments of the weekend weather. indulgent bliss...
...and this sweetness...
...+ this wisdom nugget ~ two smiles for the price of one!...
