summers end

Now that summer is dwindling down to a few sporadic bursts of sunshine and warmth I am faced with the reality of winter approaching. I still have things on my list to do! I'm trying not to hit the panic button, but I am leaving for a couple weeks (did I tell you that?oops) and I'm afraid when I return I will be faced with chilly breezes, thousands of college kids back in town, and Thursday night T.V watching. I better start crossing things off......

Next Monday I am leaving for VEGAS (for some reason I felt like I should capitalize that). Andrea and I are going to Project for a buying show. I am SO PUMPED to see all the lines and check out designers like Dusen! A day after VEGAS Ben and I are going on a much needed vacation together to Kauai for a week where he will be running a marathon and I will be burying my toes in sand. I'm so excited for our trip but I have a million things to do this week before I am ready to go and won't come home after two weeks with a pile of catching up to do! Since I'll be gone for awhile, Leslie will be guest blogging for me and she will have a million and one cool things to share with you (especially about art) so keep checking in!

In other news and tidbits:

I went to IKEA yesterday and I cant stop eating these! Help me......

I'm missing Molly. Come back please. Thanks.

I will finally be taking more product photos for Hello Victory so don't give up on me yet!

I am in love with this dress.

I cut my bangs shorter today.

I have a blister on each toe from wearing new shoes for 10 hours yesterday and I'm praying to God that I don't have to wear flip flops in Vegas (I think I'd rather just cut them off). Not smart Kate.

Dandelion Pesto. cool.

This dress is darling and the photos are lovely.

I have a little over a month to train for my half marathon.

all for now....
