blow away

This vintage whistle actually works!



I've been waiting for an excuse to frolic around with my newest vintage umbrella and a rainy day finally came. I'd been eyeing this beauty in the display window of my favorite antique shop for a long time and Luke finally urged me to just get it already! haha It was under 20 bucks but I've been a lot more conscious of spending since buying a house..it's equally the most thrilling/scary experience.










 sometimes it's nice to remember the little things that make me happy..and they're free!

My best friend and I worked at the mall together when we were 16 and were just talking about how we used to blow our tiny paycheck at work (clothing store/Weathervane) or drive to the really big mall in the city. It had the only forever 21 at the time and it seemed like we shopped all day and only ended up with a headband..or a shirt. So much more carefree. When I first moved out at 19 renting an apartment and having three roommates(and bunnies + a sugar glider named Ichabod) kept the bills pretty low. I remember Luke and I making the short trip into St.Louis once a week to go to our favorite sushi restaurant, our friends there who used to know our order by heart wouldn't even recognize us now. It's like damn..remember when I could buy a new dress or eat sushi out? haha Now it's how many ways can I wear this dress and I should really make more sushi at home!


agedashi tofu and tofu/avocado rolls

After multiple tries I've finally perfected my sticky rice..hooray!



Happy Wednesday!
