An update in pictures:

Got this app on my phone today.

Entertainment.

Got 3 awesome shirts here, ON SALE :)

This was my dinner, yumm Auntie Anne's.

This was the movie that I went to see with my mom.

She just finished the book, and I'd read it awhile back. I love it. I'd

actually already seen the movie, but felt so inspired by it I wanted to see it again.

A premise of the book/movie was a box that protagonist had filled with National

Geographic magazines and travel articles because it was a goal; something that defined her.  Her best friend's box was filled with baby items, because being a mother was something she'd always dreamed of.

I left the movie thinking and thinking (the first time), what would be in my box?

On a not so serious note:

This enjoyed the movie with us.

Not once, not twice, but 3 times did this creature CRAWL across my lap.

sick, sick, sick.

My mom and I were in paranoid, laughing, swatting hysterics during the majority of the movie.

Vintage

So my expensive taste wont be ending any time soon. I saw these at the mall yesterday, they are Steven by Steve Madden. Love them.  They seem completely worn in and old...and $200. Steven is the grown up equivalent to the chunky Steve Madden boots that I wore as a freshman in high school so that I could be nearly 6 feet tall. From awkward teenager to sleek and fashion forward. 

I got some really awesome things to add to my vintage grandma collection. 

I am really lucky to have 2grandmas that keep their older clothes/accessories,

and that they have always had good taste.

ear muffs and all.

ooo lala 

From all eras and materials (including red alligator, shhh don't tell)

and a really nice flat, red clutch.

I. Love. Vintage. 

especially when it's so personal and has a story.

Last but not least, my lovely grandparents going over the last minute details of

their road trip up the coast of Maine, starting tomorrow!

A-dorable.

I Heart Shoes

I love shoes.

I recently told my boyfriend that if I had to pick one accessory, or article of clothing that I had to wear

always, forsaking all others, it would be shoes.

One week later, I found out that one of my legs is shorter than the other and now I have to wear a 9mm lift in my left shoe...thus making most of my shoes unwearable, except for a few hours at a time.

ANYWAY

Anthropologie has the cutest 'booties' right now! and of course I have 400+ taste. Ridiculous.

love #1

love #2

Excuse me while I remove the drool from my keyboard.

Oh Spanish leather/designers, you know how to make a good shoe.

The Beginning

Well let's start slow; these are my favorite flowers. I love the rawness of this picture. I love pictures.

I'd like to start this like we're all old friends, because I'm much better at that, than talking to strangers!

But... just in case, my name is Andie. I love all things design and inspiring because it's what keeps me going. My passion. It's nice to meet you :)

I do hair for a local salon, this morning we just got certified to do the Copalla Keratin Complex, and it's been a busy day! 

I decided last night that I've wanted to learn to play the piano, so I'm going to do it... with the help of 30 year old practice books and my mom- who hasn't played in maybe that amount of time either... but I'm determined, and have the means! 

I'm a book-aholic, which I could think of worse things. I'm currently reading ::

It's really awesome. Suspense and beautifully written, how often do you find that??

I'm also not opposed to the 'Teen Novels', even though I'm way past that point, I just finished this series::

My sister and I both fell in love with them and have been telling everyone we know about them.

And I'll leave you with this::

A less dorky post next time.
