…

Well for starters, I love Carey Mulligan and everything about this outfit.

The skirt, the pleats, the pockets, the ruffles, THE SHOES…it’s just that perfect quirky + vintage pretty look. If you’ve ever noticed she has pretty amazing style in general, not to mention pulling it all off with a 3″ long pixie cut.

In other news and recent panic, I can’t believe The Journey Event starts in only SIX DAYS. It’s been much hoped-for and discussed since last fall when we first had the idea, but now that it’s here it’s basically too awesome to be real. (heh, kinda like some other things in life.) We have six talented girls committing a week to listen, learn, and share,  and then a year dedicated to following up on their goals. I haven’t met any of them yet, but from conversations so far I know we’ll leave with some pretty solid friendships.

I have a thousand logistical things left to plan and figure out but more than anything I just can’t wait for them to fly in SO WE CAN START THE PAAAARTYYYY.

…and, I mean, learn stuff.

Right after that I’ll be gone for a bit – Nashville for chums and a wedding, British Virgin Islands for freckles and a nap and Vermont for snowboarding and more snowboarding. January was a great and all but I’m stoked to get back into weddings and travel and all exciting etceras.

The Loudoun Times-Mirror newspaper ran a story on our Wedgewood Collective and that was pretty cool. Seeing your work in print is awesome, but being interviewed and then seeing your face (and twerpy quotes. “unknown necessity?” really Becks?) is just crazy. A few friends wanted to read the article so here’s the link.

And finally, if you’re ever feeling overwhelmed by work or inadequacy, watch this piece about a photographer who can’t see a thing.

Amazing what a person can do without the crutch of excuses.
