Woodland Creatures Part Deux

Hello Again!

A while back, I shared a few photos of the woodland creatures that visit our backyard. Can you handle all the cuteness of a follow up post? I hope so, because here we go :)

Aron and I like to look for bunny rabbits on our morning walks. There are a ton of bunnies that live in the woods behind our neighborhood, so we usually spot at least one or two. We ran into this little saucer-eyed fellow one morning.

We like to leave our stale bread outside for the birds to snack on. This little dude decided the bread was fair game, and ate his fill. I apologize for the crappy photo quality.

 I caught this guy strutting around our backyard one day. Turkeys are strangely cute.

A family of deer like to hang out on the hill behind our house. Once they catch me oooing and ahhhhing over them, they make a run for the woods.

 

I hope you survived the cuteness.

 

Have a good one!

Fall Fashion Inspiration: Lana Del Rey for H&M

Hello Again!

How many of you are obsessed with the Lana Del Rey for H&M Fall campaign, and with Lana in general? I must admit, I was a bit of a Lana hater a few month ago. I openly mocked her SNL performance, and dismissed her music as drivel. Well, I suppose I drank the Lana Kool-Aid, because I am now simply in love with her style and her sultry voice.

I gasped with joy when I saw her ad spots for the Fall H&M collection. I am obsessed with the early 60s vibe, and love the David Lynch/Twin Peaks references of the "Blue Velvet" TV spot. Here are some images from the collection:

There is no H&M near me that I know of, and H&M still hasn't launched their online shopping for the US. So, I've basically given up any hope of owning this collection (the prices on eBay are insane). Not that I could have actually fit into any of these looks, since this line stops at an XL, and I am a 2X. But, I am sure I would have tried to rock the angora sweaters regardless.

 

Oh, and if anyone knows of a good bouffant hair tutorial for this look, please pass it my way!

 

Here is Lana in the TV spot singing Blue Velvet.

....and here is Lana singing Video Games, the song I mocked so harshly, but now love.

Shower Attire

Hello Again!

Here is a quick little fashion nugget for your viewing pleasure. I wore this Torrid dress and cardigan to my friend Becca's bridal shower a few weeks ago. The dress has some odd seaming at the bust, so it needed the coverage of the cropped cardigan.

Cardigan and dress: Torrid

Shoes: TJMaxx

Sunnies: Target  

 

 The shower was fun! We made a fabulous toilet paper wedding dress and watched the bride to be open her fab pressies.

Have a good one!

Annie's Visit Part Two

Hello Again!

Here are some more nuggets from Annie's visit to Tennessee!

We headed up to Nashville Sunday afternoon and walking Broadway and 2nd Ave.

Me and The King. I love my apple shirt from Forever 21+!

Hi Mr. Horsey Man!

Such a sad yet sweet story about this doggy.

I have many memories of The Attic (now closed) in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. I found another one in Nashville!

We headed over to the Hard Rock for foodage. I started with a yummy Blues Riff cocktail.

Had to get a burger.

Hole was everything in the 90s

Set list and gold record

The Pumpkins

 

We miss Annie dearly, and it was awesome to see her! We hope to make the trip back home to Florida soon to visit her and all of our friends and family.

 

Have a good one!

Annie Visit Part One

Hello Again!

A few weeks ago, our rad friend Annie paid us a fun little visit! We ate good country food, drank a little moonshine, and got lost listening to a Flaming Lips mixtape. To hear more about our shenanigans, read on.....

Aron had to work for some of the visit so Annie and I braved this local Mediterranean restaurant alone. The food was sub par, but check out the new friend we made!

Saturday night, we all headed down to The Loveless Cafe in Nashville. If you live in the Middle Tennessee area and haven't eaten at The Loveless, then you are truly missing out. It is country food done right.

During the day, Aron and Annie had visited McKay Books while I was at my friend Becca's bridal shower. They found this little golden nugget, which they rightfully assumed contained tracks of the Flaming Lips covering their favorite jams.

 Well, it ended up being more of a mixtape of some of the band's favorite ditties. There were some interesting choices to say the least. There was one song The Flaming Lips actually covered, The White Stripe's Seven Nation Army. It was joyously disturbing.
 
So, we were headed out to the Loveless listening to this CD, and we noticed that our journey was taking a bit longer than anticipated. The GPS decided to take us in a circle, through Natchez Trace State Park. At one point we saw signs for Tupelo, 141 miles, and I thought we were doomed. But, eventually we came full circle and ended up at The Loveless. It was worth the drive!

Generally, there is at least a 1-2 hour wait for a seat in the restaurant, but we did the "call ahead seating" deal, so our wait was less than an hour. We looked around at some of the shops at the restaurant, and found some cool things.

 Hee Hee

 A Moon Pie and an RC Cola, it's a Southern thing :)

The Loveless makes their own peanut brittle, and this version has a little bacon added. It was pretty good!

 

 Some pics were snapped with the brittle while we waited :)

Dinner was awesome! The Loveless is known for their biscuits, they are amazing.

 Annie and I both had a Watermelon Crawl, which contained moonshine. They also came with their own mini Mason jar to keep!

 I had the sampler plate, which was super yummy, but was a ridiculous amount of food. Let's just say I had breakfast the next morning.

 This is their Elvis tribute pie. Banana, peanut butter, marshmallow, and bacon (yep) chunks. The bacon was a bit much, but it was yum. This was another dish that was shared between us for breakfast the next day.

 

We all went home and passed out from food overload. Well, at least Aron and I did. Annie stayed up until about 1:30 chilling and painting her nails. She joked that moonshine must give her energy!

 

More later!
