love*birds: 6.13.12

things i am loving this week:

~ my dad. it's his birthday today. so i will tell you some things i love about him.

~ he might not think his daughters are funny at all times, but he will always laugh at a good fart joke.

~ he is an amazing grandpa. 

~ when i was a kid and couldn't sleep, he would sit at the end of my bed and count to 100 and then back to 1 with me until i finally fell asleep. sometimes it took three or four times.

~ he is a genius. and i mean that literally. if you ever need to know or need to know how to do anything, he's your guy.

~ he is generous. i have never known him to put his own needs before someone else's.

~ he raised five girls and didn't go crazy. i think that says enough about him.

~ happy birthday, dad. we love you!

and here are some other things we are loving this week.

vintage scoop neck t-shirt

one of my favorite things to wear in the summer is a scoop neck tee. if i can find a great vintage one with a fun pattern or from a good concert, i will always buy it (shocking, i know). i love the color and pattern of this one.

mossimo maxi dress

i saw a woman wearing this at a wedding a few weeks ago and fell in love. i wanted to ask her where she got it and never had a chance. luckily, i go to target pretty regularly...and i saw it there. love it!

cherry print dress

i love the color and the fabric of this dress. and then i read that it is made from vintage materials and i fell in love a little bit more!

mona mia platforms

i love a good neutral sandal with a wood heel. and the added texture and pattern at the back make these one of a kind.

chevron lounge shorts

they say lounge shorts, but i would throw on some heels and some big hoop earrings and wear these out on the town. i love them!

goodnight mama

chris snapped this picture of eva giving me a (movie star) kiss goodnight. i love it.

~ grace from a southern drawl says she doesn't do casual very often, but i say she should! she looks so great in this layered outfit! and who doesn't want a tank top that sucks in all the fat? (what fat, grace??) either way, she looks gorgeous.

tori richard wiggle dress

i am in love with this dress. the colors, the gorgeous watercolor print, the shape! jim and i are attending a beach wedding in mexico this winter and i think this would be the perfect dress to wear!

aqua blue ring

and how gorgeous would this amazing ring look with that dress up there? perfect, right?

hawaiian print maxi dress

i am a little bit more than obsessed with this fabulous maxi dress. i think if it were mine i might just wear it every day this summer. and it may have to be mine!

typography art print

i want this print in my house. i am a total homebody and this totally reflects how i feel most of the time! plus, i love the colors.

crinkled linen maxi dress

yes, another maxi dress. but seriously, how perfect is this one? you could throw it over your swimsuit at the beach or dress it up for a hot date with your special someone! in love.

splash pad!

it was hot hot hot this past weekend, so we took advantage and headed out to the splash pad. as you can see, mimi had a blast!

blog*love

i recently discovered kate's blog, Fork and Vine, and i love it. super cute outfits, awesome recipes and yummy cocktails (like this one!). i know, cocktails should be the last thing on this pregnant lady's mind, right? but i am totally planning on making these and lounging on the patio once this boy is born! (and you're all invited!) yum!

what are you loving this week?
