love*birds: 1.30.13

things i am loving this week:
~ ben has started "talking" nonstop. he says, "dadadadadadadada" and then looks at me proudly with his huge, toothless grin. it's pretty much the cutest thing ever. i love hearing his sweet little voice.
~ mimi and i have been doing lots of fun art projects lately, since it has been much too cold to go outside. yesterday, we built a rocket ship!
~ it was actually warm enough last night, when jim got home, for some daddy/daughter snowman building and a nice walk.
~ pilates. i used to do it all of the time and have recently been getting back into it. six-pack abs are for sure in my future! (okay, probably not, but a girl can dream.)
~ kale sauteed in olive oil and a little salt. i have been eating that every day for lunch and it is so good it doesn't even seem healthy!
~ trader joe's dark chocolate non-pareils. because when you eat kale for lunch, you can indulge in a little dark chocolate. okay, even if you don't eat kale for lunch, dark chocolate is always a good idea.
~ it's our baby sister's golden birthday today. love you, kristin!!!

and here are a few other things we are loving...

nora bird

90s floral romper

okay, so i am pretty sure i had this exact romper in 8th grade. but, whatever, i could totally pull it off 20 years later, right???

skeleton key necklace

this is such a lovely necklace! i love the vintage feel. and the skeleton key is so tiny but so detailed!

vintage leopard shirt

vintage leopard print! this shirt is just so cool and sassy. i am pretty sure this has to be mine.

vintage pendelton blanket

i have totally been coveting a vintage pendelton blanket. this one is amazing. and in such great condition for being almost 90 years old!

80s ombre sweater

i don't really wear a lot of pink, but i would make an exception for this adorable sweater! it's perfectly slouchy and looks so comfortable!

holly (holly dolly) looks absolutely adorable in this outfit (that she wore to eat dessert for dinner. yum!) oh, and that sequin skirt is thrifted and her faux-fur snood is handmade! seriously. awesome.

@mrsbeyers
remember that rocket ship i mentioned earlier? behold the "mimi stargazer". pretty awesome, right?

megan bird

stacked infinity rings

i love the texture of these rings, and the sweet little infinity symbol in the middle. dainty, but still makes a statement!

silk cream dress

i love the collar of this dress. i also love that i could wear it to a huge meal, and still look cute and feel comfortable!

vintage lace banner

this beauty would fit right in with our wedding decor. i love it!

vintage platform sandals

it's about that time of year that i start really longing for summer. painted toes and platform sandals....these are the perfect summer sandal staples!

embellished trench coat

before summer, we have to have spring (i can't wait for that, either)...and i couldn't think of a cuter way to play in the april showers than in this trench!

i love jamie's (of Forever 81) vest and flannel combo in this post. she looks so cozy and so chic. i might need to get a vest just like this!

henry got his sling off last thursday. while he still has a few more weeks until his collarbone is fully healed, having his sling off is a pretty big deal!

what are you loving this week?
