j crew warehouse sale in lynchburg

while sitting at bodo's saturday morning, charlie and i decided to take a road trip down to lynchburg. i've been having the shopping itch (much to charlie's delight) and wanted to check out the j crew catalog store (and possibly covesville antiques). our friend dao tagged along for the adventure. as we pulled into the warehouse parking lot, my heart started to flitter just a bit at the sight of all those cars. we stumbled onto a warehouse sale without even knowing it! i'm sure charlie was cringing, but he was such a trooper. after a long wait in line and hours of tearing through boxes and boxes, i found charlie loaded down with clothes. he did quite well for himself. and dao made his first j crew purchase (not sure how this is possible). we ended up having a blast and snagged some amazing deals.


all for $120!!!


*those shoes are listed for $159.99 on the jcrew website and i grabbed them up for $30!

new friends

so i've been needing some new blog friends post-wedding. my regular blog cycle is all off since all i was looking at were wedding blogs.

here are some new friends that i'm enjoying:
swiss-miss
poppytalk
a cup of jo
dress design decor (not new but rediscovered)
coco + kelley (not new but rediscovered)
black eiffel (not new but rediscovered)

let me know if you have any that i should add to my blog roll.

would you be your own friend?

I was reading my most recent edition of "Glamour" magazine and there was an interesting article posing the question "would you be friends with you?".

Valid question.

i love everything about this...

my dear friend alison is fabulous. she's one of those people who always looks cool and put together, is beautiful, smart, and fun, and has amazing taste.

i just discovered her tumblr account and i'm obsessing.

amazing

don't you wish your life had this soundtrack and the pictures to go with it?
