brief catchup.

I've clearly been a little AWOL. Here are the last few weeks in a few select pictures:

Mumford & Sons concert at the Great Saltair, aka the BEST concert ever.

Had to buy a t-shirt. Paid way too much, but it's my favorite shirt.

Sun setting over the lake - beautiful. Could have done without the smell.

Em, Me, Syd, Steph

Moon + Fair Lights = Magical

My boys. Love them. Only Mumford could have a guy wearing cut off denim, a wife beater, and a leather vest playing a banjo and still look really, really cool.

First day of school. Not like it counted because I had one class and it was until 4...

Happy birthday message from my best friend on the other side of the world.

Celebrating my birthday with the fam. Notice what shirt I'm wearing.

21 candles, avery special wish...

...and some of the cutest party attendees ever:

These are not party attendees. These are my pebbles from the beach in Athens which I finally put in water in adorable bottles so they could be enjoyed. Pinterest perfect? Wait until you see the pics from my movie party. That will be the next post.

Cheers!

On Fashion

"I know it sounds corny, but to me, fashion is a form of art...[T]hat's strictly what I find it: it's not necessarily about simply looking "good" or "chic". The designers that inspire me don't focus on designing clothes just to be cloths; the looks they design are art! WEARABLE art, which is more fun that pretty paintings in a museum that you can't touch. My ignorance aside, it really bothers me when silly ideas like "Fashion Do's and Don't's" and "Fashion Police" are established, because that takes all the fun out of putting together an outfit. In my opinion, the most interesting fashion is the Anti-Fashion. No rules, no restrictions, no normalcy, no pleasing anyone ... It's not how cute an outfit is, it's what it seems to reflect: a personality, a story."

- Tavi

"Women, wear what you love. That's all I can say. That's my motto. It's nice to have on a nice suit, but it's a lot nicer to change a generation in terms of their health. It's a lot ... better use of my time to focus on rallying this country around our military families. I mean, there's so much that I hope to do in this role that makes a difference in people's lives."

- Michelle Obama

"Why change? Everyone has his own style. When you have found it, you should stick to it."

- Audrey Hepburn

On Humor

"Humor is vital. We definitely have a tendency to take ourselves way too seriously. [T]hat stems from a really sweet sincerity of people who are trying too hard to be good and who always want to be better. But in our quest for improvement we often forget to laugh, which is easy to do, since we're so busy. But laughter is important to your sanity and to your health. Marjorie Hinckley said, 'The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer laughing. Crying gives me a headache.' "

- Author of "Seriously So Blessed"
