i am dreaming of someday opening a store...literally i have had this fantasy ever since i was the 'wrapping paper girl' during the holidays at a local boutique in Virginia.. i have it all mapped out..the tunes i would be playing, the candle that would be burning, the dog bowl out front with water and jumby taking a nap beside it, the big front window displays..ohh and the goodies piled up high, that i would buy from a big trip to india.....not sure if you remember the movie 'you've got mail' but i was SO envious of Meg Ryans' little bookstore, that had the bell on the door, she was so cute practically skipping to her little home away from home..i have worked in so many boutiques and loved it! changing the open to close sign, used to make my day after a long days work ....(yes, i did used to work in a card shop in college but i mostly sold incense and hippy tapestries--ohh those were the days)

go support your local brick and mortar this weekend, they would appreciate it!

happy friday folks..

lets talk functional boots..

the llbean boot is making a major comeback..and i gotta say i am diggin it..the lace up + ruggedness with tight jeans..plus some of these are lined with sheepskin for coziness! my brother and all his "hot" prepsters friends used to wear these, i used to swoon..

now they have left prepster and are more 'old school vintage..'

or do you go for the hunter wellies...loving the brits these days..i do love a rugged rain boot..and kate rocks them at all the festivals...plus you can just hose them down..

i have had a blog facelift..remember me debating about it here? well, i am so glad i did..i contacted Jessica from Front Porch Studio or her blog The love list (a daily must-read)

never fails..they always have a beard..joe purdy is a goodie..enjoy ! i couldn't pick one, the lyrics are sooooooooo yummy

here is 'can't get it right today'
