Visit me on Tumblr!

I've got a new cyberspace home that's a little less time consuming than a full blown blog. I'll be posting some of the randomness I find online, and of course some of the randomness that is my life!

Do stop by for a visit: http://samefishnewpond.tumblr.com/

Lately...

I know, I know. I've completely abandoned the blog! A thousand apologies, and to make up for my long absence I've got a little Instagram mural for you of all the lovely things I've been up to this year. It's been a serious whirlwind and it shows no signs of stopping soon! I'll try and be better about posting from now on. Hope you're all just fine and dandy!

images (clockwise from left): biking the everglades with little sis; hari krishnas in a miami parade; sunset in monterey; heart-shaped cling fish at the aquarium; play-offs!; little s hiking with big k; at the radiohead show with my little sis; radiohead!; coors brewery in colorado; vail, colorado; hiking in vail; on the plane over utah  

Huzzah!

I've been oh-so-anxiously awaiting the arrival of the next issue of Kinfolk magazine. If you've never heard of it, please do yourself a GIGANTIC favor and go check it out. Hurry!

This Weekend

Suki+Couch+Me= This weekend. Hope you all had a good one!

Mep...

Howdy folks! Here's a cute little video to distract you from the fact that I haven't posted any new looks lately. I'm still a sickly child and will post something as soon as I'm all better! Enjoy the sweetness!

A tribute to our fuzzy friends

Isn't that little guy getting snuggled just the cutest thing you've seen?

Il Vecchio

My favorite restaurant and my new fave blog (Brooklyn to West) have something in common-- the fabulous Ariele.  This blogger and artist extraordinaire designed the gorgeous interiors of Il Vecchio, and her blog has actually inspired me to do some interior decorating myself! My friend and I went to our local junk store and found a lovely little coffee table (for $10!) that we will be refurbishing in the next couple of weeks. I'll be sure to share the before and after photos!

The Silent Comedy

I saw these guys last weekend-- incredible show. Enjoy!

Turkey!

This picture makes me so excited about Thanksgiving I could just pee my pants. Food+Football+Friends=AWESOME. This year, I decided to stay in Monterey for the holiday so I'm missing Family from this equation, which would make it absolute perfection. Happy Thanksgiving all!

LOTW- Miss S

I've been feeling under the weather all week, so our star this week is little Miss Suki-- the most wonderful, cuddly, couch potato partner a girl could ever ask for. Isn't she the cutest thing EVER?

Sparkles

 

These Oliphant lovelies are at the top of my X-mas Wishlist this year.  

Sweater Weather

Yes folks, there actually are penguins running around in sweaters. In New Zealand. The reason is not as cute as the result. There was an oil spill and the clean-up that ensued left a lot of little penguins wet and cold. Enter the local knitting shop with a brilliant solution-- penguin sweaters. So locals took to their knitting needles and donated a bunch of mini-sweaters to keep these guys nice and toasty. Head on over to Oceana for the full story and to take some action and help stop the nastiness that is offshore drilling.

Music!

Such a fun song, and I want to just live in the video.

LOTW- Napa Valley

Went wine tasting in Napa Valley a couple of weeks ago. This was taken at the Chateau Montelena which was absolutely gorgeous! Happy weekend! (Shirt from Anthropologie; skirt, JCrew; shoes, Steve Madden)

Sea Turtle R & R

Take a tour of a sea turtle hospital! Some of these stories are a little sad- turtles getting caught in fishing gear, swallowing trash, or getting injured by a boat propeller- but it's good to know there's a place (and lots of people) dedicated to helping them recover and hopefully getting them back out into the wild where they belong. Hands down my dream job.

Cuteness

I've already got Christmas on the brain (yay!), and I'm loving these Honeycup prints for gifts. They're just so darn cute!

LOTW- Halloween Edition

Yup, I did it. Pregnant Rachel Zoe for Halloween. Buh-nanas!

Meghalaya Bridges

What a cool picture huh? These are actual bridges that locals (sorta) built about 500 years ago in the Cherrapunji region of India. They guided the roots and vines across the rivers with hollow bamboo until they rooted on the other side. Bonus question: Who can guess what that creature is at the bottom of the picture? It looks like a dirty polar bear to me.
