A happy and lazy and summery Sunday afternoon to you!
Despite our collective brown thumbs, Chris and I have managed not to kill anything in our garden...yet. In fact, we have found that we have enough roses and other flowers around for a little nosegay to grace our kitchen table every few days.
It brightens up the room and brings the outdoors in. By the outdoors, I mean fruitflies and worsening allergies. But lovely nonetheless.
In other news, I almost burned down our kitchen again (there was the incident of the burning french fries in the toaster oven of 2011).
Methought I smelt burning plastic (which occurs often, just usually when I'm cooking), and I looked everywhere I could think of. Then, I opened up the dishwasher and found the remains of one noble Tupperware lid.
RIP, little lid. You will be missed.
Some outfits lately for bumming around the house, garden, and Target runs:
On me:
Anthro Deletta Twisted tee
Anna Sui for Target skirt
On Pumpkinhead:
Crocheted dress, c/o Bobo
Babylegs
BabyGap sweater
We went all the way out to Huntington Gardens this week with our friends! They are famous for their massive, gorgeous rose gardens which was lovely beyond belief. Just rows and rows of meticulously and lovely tended roses of every color and hue imaginable.
Inspired me to have my own little garden spruced up. Which meant more work for Chris, of course--I was too busy--that Project Runway ain't gonna watch itself. jk, honey! smooches!
We went to our favorite brunch joint, where I ordered blueberry pancakes with fruit, extra whip. Like any self-involved blogger (synonymous? redundant?), I took a picture so you could act interested.

But oh! the dress. I finally fit it again. I had bought it, saved it, couldn't squeeze it on during pregnancy, and unearthed it the other day. The color is to die for, and it just makes me feel a kindship to Jackie O I didn't think possible.

Loved the bow in the back, btw. Hope you are all loving the last of the weekend!
You look great Shelia! Pumpkinhead is looking all sorts of adorable in her little getup. I've been mad for the cobalt blue so naturally, big fan of the dress.
