fashion blog

just a cool fashion blog i felt like sharing. nat the bat

my mommy, sandra d

sandra macdonell -- born december 13. well-traveled and dove into every activity she could including cheerleading and javelin (bow-chica-waoow)

she met her tall, dark and handsome, tom de sostoa, and had two beautiful children, kelsey & bryce. 

the d family took on the world, traveling from europe to australia then jumping on a cruise ship through the mediterranean. sandra d loved to let loose and make the most of life.

sometimes she worried about her children, thats what mothers are for, but they ended up alright in the end.

...for the best mother, wife, friend, listener, talker, shopper in the world and always caring for those around you, we love you so much mom. happy mothers day!

rachel getting married.

this movie just worked its way into one of my favorite movies of all time. amazing music, raw indie feel, awesome acting. love it + need soundtrack. 

p.s. i think the key to a sweet wedding is inviting as many musicians as possible (mental note)

coffee, print mag, marathon

I woke up early this morning because i couldn't resist the beautiful morning sun i saw outside my window. I made my coffee, grabbed my new print mag and had my iPod in tow. As i walk out onto my porch i stopped in my tracks when i saw the thousand of people walking across the bridge, most in pink shirts. richmonds race for the cure was held today and was a sight to be seen. so beautiful to see that many people coming together for a good cause.
