skulls please-ts
by suzyful on June 18, 2012
This sweater was the cherry on top of a thrifting run I went on a few weeks ago. The way it fits so snug and how the arm length barely reaches my wrists make me certain that this sweater belonged to an 8 year old boy. Maybe 12 years old. I like skulls, but only when they’re really understated on clothes and accessories. Otherwise I feel like I’m representing death or pirates, depending on the occasion. With something so boyish as this, I had to pair it with something super girly–Free People, pastel pink, sheer, pleated, asymmetrical, flowy, and a skirt nonetheless. Checkmate-y. (see what I did there?)
The skull and crossbones are pretty special to me (as are owls) but only some people will ever fully understand why ; )
087 Father’s Day
by suzyful on June 17, 2012
My sister and I went to visit our dad’s grave on Sunday. It was the last day of Sunday school and our kids kindly wrote Alice and I a huge thank you card and got us each a bouquet of flowers. This is the second time that I received a bouquet of flowers on the day I was going to the cemetery. By chance through other people’s generosity, my dad got two bouquets of flowers twice in a row–lucky man! The flowers I received mixed in with the bouquet mom bought made for a perfect arrangement.
Coincidence? Probably. OR dad or God is trying to tell me that it’s okay to be sad but that it’s even better to rejoice and discover joy in what’s right in front of me. Can’t fool me, I’m so smart. So to celebrate fathers everywhere, we hosted a small dinner at home and grubbed on some serious finger food–Brazilian pastel (pictured below) and esfiha. NOM. I really do find too much joy in food…

Finding a peaceful haven in the middle of a busy downtown LA–a Saturday perk. Have you watched 500 Days of Summer?
