i {heart} lomo..

was seriously excited to see this on UO this morning..

I've always been intrigued by Lomography.. you browse through flickr and see these wonderful highly saturated, blurry images and can't help to wonder how it's done. I could never really wrap my head around paying a ton of money for a 35mm lomo camera since digital post-processing has pretty much taken over the world at this point. However there is something to be said about photographs that leave a little something more than digital would..

I haven't dabbled with film in a very long time, so this might be a good way to experiment with something different for a change.. who knows.. my photographs might take a turn for the better!

Delighted..

ohhhh I'm swooning over these fabulous prints by Gemini Studio Art... A few months ago, I found these prints on Etsy and loved them so much..

I think we're going to that to splurge and get this one for Rufus.. too cute to be true!!

The cardi.. revisited...

So after spending what seemed to be an eternity editing photos from the shoot we did Wednesday (have to keep this under wraps for now...) I decided to take a break and browse cyberland. Since I got my weekly notification from UO yesterday, I figured I'd take a gander around to see what was new..

and then I saw it...

not only was it still available.. it was an even better deal than it was before!!

I REALLY had to hold myself back from screaming out loud.. you see, the boy and I made a pact that we would clamp down on our spending for a little while to save up for future projects and a functioning fridge.. I'll be damned if that cardi disappears from the UO website.. but at 14.99? it's a steal!!!

what to do.. what to do...

always remember to..

The one with all the waffles

So the better half got me the greatest gift for my birthday. (yes, the man got away with buying me an appliance, but I've been wanting one of these bad boys for a very long time..) He knows what his lady likes!!

We wanted to make waffles for breakfast yesterday (my birthday) but we didn't really get up on time to execute the master plan. we like our sleep. We then decided to have a "breakfast-dinner" tonight instead. So after a long day at work and a quick trip to the supermarket for garnishes, we finally got home and started working on the waffle project. We weren't too successful on the first couple tries..

{Our first try...}

{not so good..}

But after a few tries, it was smooth sailing all the way..

{Leaning tower of waffles.. so yummy}

{all finished}

 over all, turned out to be a perfect night in.. ahhh yes...

Making waffles is a great idea for a fun dinner activity, but I have a feeling this could potentially be the cause of some major weight gain in the next few weeks..

the story of a girl and her cardigan

I had it in my head I was going to purchase this crazy gorg cardi from Urban Outfitters today..
LOVED it. Kathleen has been fashioning it for the past few months and it just seems like such a perfect fit. To my surprise, it's currently on sale!! $24.99 from $49!! Insane!!

So I registered for an account at UO, plugged my info in the required field boxes, whipped my credit card out of my wallet, sped through the numbers and got as far as the shipping page (pretty close!!) However, to my horror... shipping to Canada is $25.. WTF?? That's more than the stupid cardigan. To save $$ i would have to walk in the store to purchase it.. (as stupid as this sounds, the closest Urban Outfitters to us is 3 hours away.. very disappointing!!) 

geeee whizzzzzz.. guess I'll just have to wait a little longer..

one day cardigan.. we will be together.
