My new favorite form of procrastination? House hunting on Zillow. Never mind that we’re years away from buying, why would I let a a dreary slice of reality like that deter me? This morning I stumbled upon this house in Charleston, South Carolina — 7 Lamboll Street. I’m convinced I’d be quite happy there, yes, quite happy indeed.

This handsome brooding man (aka Mr. Armour) turns the big 3-0 today. The photo is actually from our engagement shoot and it always makes me smile because he looks so serious though he’s really quite a silly fellow. Happy birthday my love — thank you for entertaining me with your endless array of inappropriate jokes and nerdy anecdotes. We (Alfred, Wally Bear, and I) love you to the moon and back.

How fabulous are these horn bracelets by Lulu Frost? I’m in love with the snake chain and satin bow touches too! Pretty sure the yellow belongs on my wrist though the navy isn’t half bad either… ;)

I love to move about. I’m 25 and have lived in 9 different cities simply because I enjoy it so much. I currently live in California again and while I love my home state dearly I’m itching to try somewhere new when John graduates law school in a year and a half. My latest fixation? The South. I’m stuck on this crazy notion that I belong in Charleston or Wilmington or New Orleans… So my question to you dear readers, what cities do you love most in the South? I’m looking for somewhere with a more temperate climate (not too hot for the pugs, not too cold for me), some kind of city (doesn’t have to be huge, let’s say 40,000+), and of course, charming houses. I love the idea of buying a little fixer upper and having babies with southern accents! ;) Where would you recommend? Oh and I love specifics–cute neighborhoods, boutiques, etc. I’m a planner, can you tell?
P.S. The photos above were taken in Charleston of my darling friend Hanna by Charlotte Elizabeth for the May issue of Matchbook!
P.P.S. If I move to your city will you be my friend? Okay, phew! xoxo

These darling “hello” notecards and tote bags by Simplesong make me smile. What a perfect gift for ladies like myself that proudly sport flats! ;)
