a lifestyle wardrobe

i never used to think about function when it came to clothes...however, with breastfeeding now seeping into my daily routine every few hours, i'm ultimately limited to nursing tanks if i want to make my life as easy as possible (which i do).  so, my only real option as far as introducing any style into my new, function-driven wardrobe is to find cute cardigans and vests (open front now required).  where else is there to look than the always-reliable j.crew?  above: my new purchase

a different kind of family portrait

love the relaxed composition of this family portrait by slim aarons...maybe i'll try to recreate it with my little family in front of our little house.

i know everyone has seen jeff koons' work but i especially love the contrast of the slick & shiny magenta balloon dog with the rough, aged building exterior.

hostas are out in all their glory.

every gardeness loves her copper...
