happy labor day!

it's chilly and rainy here today, but i don't mind. i need to get some thigh high socks though, my long time favorite j. crew ones have a few holes in them... the taller the socks i wear with my rain boots, the more comfy they are plus the taller the socks, the more sexy i feel, even if they are hidden under my jeans.


i hate to think that summer is now unofficially over, but i am looking forward to pumpkin pie and halloween!

book it | love my indie

i have a tendency to be slightly a.d.d. and i'm pretty sure that i never mentioned a guest post that i did forever ago [more than 2 months]. it was about a new local independent bookstore in my town that i shared over at actin' up with books which is my friend joli's blog.

1. go check out what i wrote
2. submit your own guest post showing love for your local independent book store. if your town is much like ours, they are quickly becoming extinct so be sure to show your appreciation for them! and also because doing guest posts is fun.
   

things i love friday

ok so i didn't get this posted yesterday, but i surely meant to.

1. see that zebra photo? i took that. and it was featured on creature comforts yesterday morning. that alone made me overjoyed, then a little while later someone who saw my photo there and wanted a print of it which got my ass in gear so now i have a print store on zenfolio so go here to check it out please!

and if you want to start your own account i have a zenfolio promotional code for 10% off: 9P3-CFK-SYR so my $100 premium account ended up being $90 and now i can use it for client proofing and selling prints which will be perfect when i get my website fully functional sometime in the next week or so.

2. my article 12 Pain-Free Ways to Make Your Wedding More Eco-Friendly has been featured on Yahoo for the past 10 days now. this makes me ecstatic because i'm a closet green freak and the thought that my ideas might actually help people put a little effort into making their weddings more eco-friendly makes me SO happy! seriously, recycling and composting are practically a religious practice for me.

3. is it just me or is halloween getting close?! i've queued up a couple of new costume ideas already, but i need to work on some more. make sure you check out the penny-laine halloween costume archives if you are in need of some costume inspiration!
