this past week

I wore this outfit inspired by 
this inspiration monday of two birds challenge.

My dress and shoes were thrifted.

This week's inspiration was:

Kerry Washington

I admired the outfits of Kerry Washington's
 character Olivia Pope worn in the TV show Scandal.

I drooled over these black and white Juicy Couture Runway Looks.

I laughed over these fun photos
of my nephew Speed Racer.

I was glad to get some photos of
my twin nieces and nephew.

I read and enjoyed these 3 books:

1.Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham
(Yes, that's the actress Lauren Graham of Parenthood & Gilmore Girls).
2. Here I Go Again by Jen Lancaster
3. The Art of Forgetting by Camille Noe Pagan

I scrapbooked my Florida Palm Tree photos from our West Palm Beach, trip in August of 2007. 

I relished the cooler Autumn temperatures outside.

My outfit was influenced by yesterday's 

inspiration monday! That's when the ladies Megan and Nora of
Two Birds Boutique chose an outfit to inspire an outfit.

I look frozen, and I don't mean cold. 
I mean like Han Solo on the planet Mercury.

Here's my version of the look.

inspiration monday: secondhand outfit notes.

Yesterday's inspiration was:

Olivia Wilde 
(she looks like she want to kick someone's behind).

My t-shirt: Forever 21 (nearly 3 yrs. ago)
It says:
 I Love My Music.

My fringe booties: LuLu's.com (over a year ago).

My jeans: ? (some store in mall nearly 3 yrs. ago)
The last album I listened to was
 New Morning by Alpha Rev (a band from Austin, Texas).

My nephew Speed Racer likes to sing
Down By the Station.
He LOVES trains!

We don't know what songs my nephew JJ likes.
They tell us he says words,
 but he won't say a thing, for me and my guy.  :p

My twin nieces Lil Bug and EJ like to sing: 
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

The last song my guy worked out to was Wave of Tomorrow by The Crash Kings.
I don't have a photo of him doing that, but last weekend he was building us a new fence for our backyard. 
We saw The Crash Kings in concert on this post in 2009.

My art journal page was from sometime,
 this past Spring.
 I titled it:
The Woes of Chronic Bad Hair...

The last song I played on my guitar was
Let Go by Cheap Trick.

Frozen Han Solo NBC News article.
 (that was only 4 days ago).
