Hello, Dah-ling: Sailing to Rome

Have you ladies seen this gorgeous new summer dresses from Shabby Apple? Now, I know that I've bragged on their sweet and classy styles before...but these two new collections are really stunning. I think I'd wear 'em every day this season if I could only buy that many new dresses :)

For instance...today. My lovely roommates are throwing me a "friends" bridal shower tonight. And for another instance tomorrow...when my mom's pastor's wife (isn't that complicated) is throwing me a "church ladies" bridal shower. I just realllly am craving some Shabby Apple to wear!

Top two favs at the moment for the bridal shower scene:

Toe the Line from the Set Sail collection...not only is this the perfect relaxed little dress for a casual shower, but it's gearing riiiiiight up for the summer weather we've finally had here in Minnesota :)

Palatine Hill from the Roamin Holiday collection...perfect for an old-fashioned church brunch shower, yes? And then I could wear it out on the town to celebrate later at night. Told you it was versatile :)

Dreams are nothing more than wishes...

Well!
It's here. The last two weeks before finals and our lives are suddenly even more of a whirlwind...and I know this because I have seen the walls of the library more than I have seen my roommates. :(
Oh, the life of a college student, right?
This outfit I am wearing is actually what I am wearing for a skit I am in. I love this dress...it has pockets and that 1950's silhouette that I just can't resist (Cambria can't either; she bought the same one!), I can't wait to wear it this summer! :)

Until tomorrow my dears,
Jessica

Still I Wonder Why It Is...

Oh, hey... how about some more pictures from a shoot long ago? These were in January and taken by my dear friend Adam. Check out his page HERE . He is totally legit and a blast to work with! I hope to be able to work with him some day soon...

So, how was your day? Anything you are looking forward to this week?

Oh! And we are so close to 100 followers!! Don't you think something cool should happen when we hit triple digits?!?
I do.
I guess we will see what happens! :)

Until next time kids,
Love,
Jessica

It's Just A Little Bit Of Wackadoo, Really

Hello my dears :)
These pictures are all the way from October! Would you believe I never shared them with you?
My friend Ellie Herringshaw (check her out HERE ) called me up one morning and told me she found this saweet abandoned warehouse and we were to do a photoshoot there. I should wear this dress, make my hair look all crazy, put on that red lipstick, and bring some sass.
So, here is what we got from it. I haven't received copies of the other ones yet... But these are still kind of fun, right? :)

Oh, and how great is this dress? I borrowed it ages ago from a theater company that has since disintegrated... It's appeared onstage in a performance of Footloose, I wore it to sing All that Jazz (from Chicago) for a variety show, and now it's been in a photoshoot. I love the Marilyn Monroe vibe it gives off... and I wonder where it will appear next? :)

Until next time (when we take outfit pictures...)
Love,
Jessica :)

Sweet and Lovely

Meet Nate!
He enjoys throwing baseballs at girls (especially ones who are distracted while playing catch...not speaking from experience...), novel t-shirts, flying kites, eating jell-o, and petting puppies.
He was walking back from lunch with us and we had to feature him on Two for Tea. So, there ya go...Nate. Also, that would be Jesus smiling on his shirt. There was much speculation on who it might be... but it is in fact, Jesus.


Today was sunny. And oh, so gorgeous...However, the sun made picture taking a little challenging... Sorry, Cambria, for the "not ready" picture... :/

Doesn't she look great though? She's especially dolled up today because her play is opening tomorrow night!!! It's tradition in the theater department to dress snazzy on opening night, but since we don't have class tomorrow, the "look really great day" got pushed to today! I am so excited to see her perform tomorrow!!

I'm watching You've Got Mail and feeling warm and fuzzy...this and Singing in the Rain are my "happy movies" :)

What's your happy movie?






Love,
Jess

You Know, She's Happy As Can Be

Today's photos were taken in under 5 minutes. Yes, that's right--Jessica and I managed to herd out of all-campus chapel, get into the sunshine, pose, and snap two photos each before she rushed off to the opposite end of campus for her gym class. Now, the down side of our wickedly quick photo shoot was the fact that we couldn't pick an exactly ideal location. We had to work with our surroundings...

which is my long-winded explanation for why these photos include a red sports car, also depict a crouching man in a tuxedo, and captured us both at some rather unflattering angles.





In other news, this high-low hem is my new addiction. I LOVE THIS SKIRT. It's soooo swishy and floaty and fabulously displays my ankles. Mmmmmmm.
