little vintage style: one year old


Lark's birthday fell on Sunday this year, so we didn't need an excuse to dress up for the occasion. The weather was so nice we stopped by the park after church and managed to capture our little Lark the day she turned one before our visit was cut short to avoid a potty emergency. Can't wait for the park bathrooms to be open again now that the weather is warming up!

She still looks pretty bald in pictures, but in real life you can see she is finally growing some hair. And, not only is she growing hair but so far it is coming in RED! I must now publicly apologize to my mother who has said from the beginning she was going to be a redhead and we never believed her - a mother really does know best!


At first, LM said she didn't want to be in any pictures, but the inner child model in her couldn't resist pulling out a pose or two, ha! I swear I only told her to "go over by Lark."


I am going to miss the fun pop of color a pair of tights adds to an outfit, but it will feel so nice to have some sunshine on my legs. I have been dabbling in the world of lipstick however, so I suppose I can still get a bright pop of color that way. Are you a lipstick wearer? I never wore it until recently. I decided I wanted to feel confident wearing lipstick if I so chose and it has been really fun!

I just got this skirt on sale (it seems to be gone now) and even though it's knit, I think the light colors will translate well into Spring. You've seen LM's dress before almost one year ago here (she looks so much older now!).

i melted


My hair dresser called it a melt and I told her to go for it.
I needed a change so I got brave and put color in my hair for the first time. And you know what? It really wasn't that scary after all, and some people didn't even notice the ombre. This just might be the first baby step to trying out a full head of dark hair someday...I've always secretly wanted to!


Shirt - UO
Skirt - vintage
Shoes - Anthropologie
Necklace - Oh, Hello Friend
My apologies for the disappearing act last week... I am feeling much better now, thank you for all of the get well wishes! This skirt is one of the things I scored with my SIL when we were on our trip visiting family last weekend. I always seem to have luck at this fun little consignment shop in town and make it a point to stop by. I also got a really cute carpet bag that I can use on date nights instead of my diaper bag - I've been hauling around that huge thing everywhere, but if I'm away from the kids I should be carrying around something more pretty, right?

I really can't believe September is already here, but I am ready for the fall weather to start rolling in - I love this time of year!
How was your three-day weekend?

sunday afternoon


Is this an outfit post, a peek at our weekend, or something in between? I don't really know, but I love my new vintage dress so I had Husband take a picture (and, Hello! It's been awhile since I've made an appearance here). I seriously wish I had a whole closet full of dresses this pretty and easy to wear, and I might become a bit obsessive about fulfilling that wish. The best part is it has a handy concealed zipper on the side in front so it is baby friendly, perfect!


Sunday afternoon we ventured out for a walk on the parkway trail and LM practiced her bike riding skills. We got her a glider bike for her birthday and she looovves it. She is already picking her feet up and learning how to balance and its so fun to watch her gain more confidence each day. We might have encouraged her to be a little ambitious going down a small hill though, which ended in her first spill. Thankfully, she was smart enough to go for the grass so there were no scraped knees and after some hugs she hopped back on.


Lark got her first fever and a little bit of congestion this weekend. So sad. It stayed mild and with a lot of naps and nursing she recovered fairly quickly. This morning it looks like she has passed it on to her sister though, so today we are keeping it low-key and only making a quick post office run later. 


Hope you had a lovely weekend...here's to a lovely week ahead!
