This print makes me want spring {& summer!}

Prabral Gurung had romance and love in mind when he created his line for Target,

that means Happy Hour Sushi in my world.

 & yes this is all for me...

& I can go for some more of this right now...

faves for friday: squirrel print

Of course when you find a strange animal print there is a story that goes along with it, right?? 

So this shirt. 

I saw it about 2 months ago at this creepy little store called "Third Hand". 

Open only on some Saturdays, between the hours of 12-5. 

We browsed, because creepy road side vintage stores is kinda my thing.

I feel IN LOVE with a little bistro set & this squirrel print blouse. 

Fiancé said no, and we left with nothing. 

Couldn't get that perfect table {& secretly the squirrel blouse} out of my mind. 

We went back a few times, but the store was always closed. 

Finally last weekend we were able to see if my loves were still there. 

No table, but squirrel blouse. For $5. AMAZING. 

I am literally in love with this blouse. 

Now the crazy part would have been, what if they sold the table & the blouse?!?! 

In a store that probably sees 2 people every week. 

I would have demanded they told me who bought it,

I feel that that would have been my doppelganger.

But alas, I am the only one who wanted to give these squirrels a new home.  

 What I Wore: glasses- Rivet & Sway Punchlines {take $25 until May with code EMMASWAYS}, top & skirt- thrifted, stockings- Nicole Miller, flats- Louis Vuitton via threadflip

Happy Friday!

My Standout Vintage Boutique clutch was perfect for date night!

love date nights!

out of sight, out of mind. Wants Wednesday & yet another reason why I shouldn't shop anymore.

About a week before Valentines Day, we received the latest Llbean catalogue
& I fell in love with this sweater:

I thought that I was going to get it for Valentines Day,

but always in the back of my mind I was thinking,

"Don't I have something very similar to this already?"

& I do.

Here it is.
