TBT: SIXTEEN CANDLES

AKA
best. movie. ever.

I will be channeling my inner Samantha {sans teen angst} this spring with some pale pink wardrobe additions, slightly updated, because let's face it, she was pretty damn near perfect.

literal heart palpitations.

Jake: Happy birthday, Samantha. Make a wish.

Samantha: It already came true.

Our new home has what we refer to as the "lady den" {to counteract "mantown"} 

I have pretty movie posters hanging of all my favorites as constant reminders of a joy only john hughes can provide.

TBT: J. CREW

As pathetic as it may be, since middle school, there's been a constant in my life that I cannot deny, 

the J. CREW catalog.

To this day, with each one, comes a twinge of excitement . . . 

but wow, that feeling way back when was something else.  

I remember lusting after the rainbow of anoraks and carefully filling out "order forms" . . .  there may have even been 'white-out' involved in the order process.

I'm dating myself . . . again.

enjoy the throw-back!

pretty sure I got my dad this sweater for Christmas.  

with my employee discount. holla.

oh, what's up, joey potter?!

 OMG. . . remember this guy?
