This weekend we went to Newport, Rhode Island, summer destination of the rich and preppy, to go to the 50th Annual Newport Folk Festival! It was quite possibly the best weekend of my life. Amazing artists we saw include: The Decemberists, Neko Case, Fleet Foxes, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Judy Collins and Pete Seeger!
Day One (in my car, Owen):
Day Two (In Sasha's car, Josh): our friend Kassie (who is a fashion inspiration) joined us at the festival. she looks extra pretty against the beautiful Newport scene.
Sasha's accessories and electronics match, and so do mine!
and in conclusion, the most delicious frozen lemonade on earth!
you can download and listen to music from the festival and see pictures at npr.org/newportfolk.
The other day I went to the movies and realized that I love trailers almost as much, if not more than I love movies themselves. It was this trailer for Where the Wild Things are that really triggered my realization:
In the past, I've gotten obsessed with trailers and watched them over and over again.
AND here are some trailers for upcoming movies that I CAN NOT wait for.
...they would look like this:Anna showed me this perfectly adorable floral romper from shopruche.com (new website to me!). It's exactly what I've been wanting all summer.
I've been reading The Clothes Horse for a while now, and I've been loving her posts & pictures even more lately. Today marks two years of her blog! She has quite a nice recap post here.
we haven't posted in a while because we've been living our lives and now we'd like to share them with you.
we work together during the week, and play together almost every weekend (when we aren't living the life of jetsetters.) this past weekend was spent on sasha's part at home in new hampshire and on anna's part visiting friends in new york. so here's what happened the week prior!
on saturday day we went to a friend's birthday party, which resulted in some headache-y sleepy-ness the following day. (that is not coffee in that dunkin donuts mug...) ihop and naps in the sun didn't quite cure us, so we dragged ourselves for some delcious vietnamese food on sunday night.
then we went to work all week. sometimes it's just too much work to put together a nice outfit when you don't want to be getting out of bed in the morning, but here are some of our better mornings. mumble, the adorable cat, is pia's. and he loves cute clothes just about as much as a feline can.
now we are enjoying a monday evening drink and some raspberries, while listening to andrew bird.
This weekend I finally got around to watching the movie Priceless or Horx de Prix (the French title) with Audrey Tautou and Gad Elmaleh. I first saw the trailer a couple of years ago and got the poster for free at a movie theatre in New York City, but I had never gotten around to watching it. Then last week I saw the DVD nearly hidden in the 50% off used DVD shelf at Hollywood Video! I couldn't resist as it was $5.99 and I felt kind of guilty having the poster up in my room without actually having seen the movie.
Here's the (very cheesy Americanized) trailer:
It was a cute movie, very predicdible and similar to most other French romantic comedies that I've seen. The basic gist of the movie is that two penniless people fall in love and run away together, leaving behind their sugar mommies and daddies. But I walked away from the movie wishing I could have someone footing the bill of a life of shopping, dining, and luxuriating on the French Riviera. And wishing that I was as stunningly gorgeous as Audrey Tautou.
These are the only pictures I can find that show Audrey in all her slinky, sexy glory.
All I want is to walk around France in loose, classic dresses and strappy heels. Someone find me a benefactor!
Anna has just posted some lovely outfits and mentioned the beautiful sunny day (!) but on thursday is was like fall still. these outfits reuse a couple of items because we love them so.
i bought this vest for a dance show because i really wanted an excuse for a vest. the scarf is from a vendor that often comes to our university center with the most beautiful scarves. the jacket is a repeat of my recent very cheap and delightful forever twenty one purchase.
this isn't the best picture, but i was trying to wear the scarf in one big circle. pia didn't love the look, anna did, and i definitely think it's worth more experimenting.
i'm not really sure if there is a story behind much of anna's outfit besides that she looks beautiful. the scarf is actually the scarf i borrowed from her in our first outfit post.
great glasses necklace, don't you think?
we both had a whole host of great outfits yesterday, because we were photographed for a Clark photo shoot for the viewbook and other publicity (and got paid for it, since we work in admissions). sadly, we didn't get to take our own pictures.
our friend Kassie (who is a fashion inspiration) joined us at the festival. she looks extra pretty against the beautiful Newport scene.
