what say ye, friday?

has this not been the LONGEST week imaginable!? i honestly could not believe that today was just now friday...wasn't monday, like, centuries ago? but either way, here we are; spent, tired, emotional, cranky, running on my last few fumes. however, busting in my boots im so excited to see my sister, cousins and cousin's baby (aka, "Pants") tonight.

the details: in 2 hours, dinner with 2 besties, wine and dessert with my luvies tonight, ele's deli tomorrow with shopping (but sticking to my budget, resolution #1!), drinks and dancing with the best people in the world saturday eve, my monthly massage sunday, seeing country strong and finishing the evening off with the golden globes. as for monday (a day off!), who knows!?

weekend, bring it. xo,

photos 1, 2, 3, 4

TGIF: Tiiu Kuik

while it may seem like march here in portland (!?!) i can't help but dream of the summer heat in mexico. these gorgeous shots are a perfect mix of tough black, strong lines, and ridiculous beauty. i'm adoring the pink bronze eyes, thick black eyeliner and her stupidly long legs. jeals.

most excited that it's friday! plans include the zoo brew with my favorite peeps (whilst completely covered in a long, rain jacket- sigh) and finishing up condo decor. i hope your weekend includes more swimwear and sun than mine will...

cheers xo.
