..summertime..

Ahh, the days are warming and the sun is beginning to shine, the fish are biting, it must be summertime!

My husband and his brother spent some time this past month, clearing out some places around the pond in the front field.  It has been decades since it has been in use, so we were excited to get down there with some lines and bait.  We drug down the flat bottom boat and wasted some time floating around. Didn't catch a thing, but I didn't mind a bit.

..sharing some goodies!..

wow, I know it has been a while, sorry for my absence, but it has been a heck of a month, and unfortunately my blogging didn't top my priority list :(

But, apparently my love of vintage and giveaways was the kickstart I needed.  I am sharing with you an awesome giveaway hosted by Twitch Vintage.  She is teamed up with Rock Paper Vintage to giveaway $150 worth of vintage!!! Super awesome right? So do head over and check it out!

..what I wore..

I have said before that I really love olive green and that I don't own enough of it. So, I took an opportunity to add a bit of the lovely green shade to my clothing collective.  I found a lovely pair of skinny ankle-length cargos at JCPenney and have been wearing the heck out of them.  They are totally cute and comfortable. 

Here is a version of my favorite outfit to wear with them so far. Though most of my outfit is thrifted and the pants are I <3 Ronson. I also threw in my favorite new blush, which I won from Lucky mag and Tarte!

..brrrr..

Alright, where is my Spring.  I had to get my wool coat out again this weekend, boo.  I suppose it could be worse though.  Last year this same weekend there was a huge amount of snow, which is extra crazy for Arkansas.  Anyway I did brave the unseasonable weather.

..rain or shine..

I love a good floral print dress for spring. And with the weather this time of year constantly changing it up on us, it is good to be creative with mixing, layering, and accessorizing.

..under my umbrella..

A couple of weekends ago we went for a drive in the country.  It was a nice day, but a bit overcast with the threat of rain, luckily I recently found this pretty new umbrella at a local surplus store. 

Now all I need is a trench coat and some galoshes and I'll be ready for some spring showers.
