we say hello

After a long-winding month of constant preparations nothing is better than late night (or midday in this case) strolls through our favorite park. As you all will soon see, Jay and I are about to embark on one of the most amazing adventures in our lives! Our greatest apologies in the lack of posting due to this but expect an over load and more info quite soon!

will you be our valentine?

The holiday of love is coming up as you may already dread or are excited for. Gone are the easier days of cheap printed paper with our favorite characters and small candies (be nice, always give one to all classmates!). Instead nowadays we share handmade cards with inside jokes, make as fancy of a meal as 10 dollars can afford, and snuggle inside the cozy warmth of our home sipping hot chocolate. Despite our plan of sticking at home while the love bugs go out, we like to continue the fancy theme and dress as romantically as possible.

He may not look it, but Jay is terribly excited about this look. Why? I finally managed to finish the blazer I started from almost-scratch months ago for him! Being an extra-small male makes it extremely hard to find blazers so I had to take all my sewing knowledge so he could finally have that fitted blazer he's been dreaming of. I do have to say so myself he looks absolutely charming and I'm surprised I managed it! I opted for fluttery rose colored bows and shades of blues for something almost sickeningly sweet without screaming 'Valentine's Day'. Match it with extra cold weather and no coat for ultra rosey cheeks and deep pink lips. Hope your Valentine's Day will be as coo-infilled as ours!

If you can't tell already we love to thrift shop, well by we I suppose it's mostly just me (hard to find small men's clothes). I grew up with a wonderful mother who knew it was a waste to constantly buy us brand new clothes and decided to let us discover the joy of always having something unique. It is something about the thrill of the hunt and the excitement you get when you find an item that you know you will adore for years on end.

I had that spark of excitement when I went to the local Value Village. Finally! The perfect trench I'd been dreaming of. $34? Ouch, I'm so cheap. Instead, I decided to wait it out until the little purple tag attached to it would be 50% off. Five weeks later of questioning if it would still be there I woke up early and found my lovely hidden amongst the others then promptly purchased it giddy with excitement. Sometimes good things come to those who wait.

a hop, skip, and a jump

It is starting to be a rarity that the sun shines strongly in the Seattle sky. Today we picked up our lazy, somewhat sick, butts and dragged it to our favorite park just a couple blocks away. There is nothing better to do on a sunny day than leisurely walking in the prettiest park in the city.
