Hold That Thought

Worn to hangout about la mama with and head out to see Kate off to London!

It Doesn't Matter

The second day of rehearsal was good times too.  We officially started to work on specifics and I am going to be rocking "And I Will Always Love You" in the opening of the show!  w00t!  Super excited to white girl up some Whitney.

Then we headed over to the GreenStage closing party where we all just hungout and played some ping pong, drank and ate some good woodfire pizza.  Yum! Of course, now I have to admit that this summer is all over and I no longer get to run around as Ariel for the summer... Blearg.  At least I have a new show starting up!

But not before I have to knock out this 40-hour work week (here we go... at least only two are opening weekday shifts, so that's a win). I can do it! Plus, getting in to see the doctor on Fri (PIP follow up, then a massage next week?) and hopefully getting a haircut sometime this week too (seriously, it is SOOOO long)

Stop Waiting

tank: Maddy M from Nordstrom, shorts: Pitaya, flip-flops: Columbia, accessories: Relic watch, black hoops, gifted rings, crest necklace

After work, I rushed home to shower and change real quick before Justine grabbed me and we headed out to Magnuson for Balagan's summer show (suuuuper cute!  Yay!) and good foodzies and lots of sun times.  I actually thought I had been good and diligent with my sunscreen: bringing it, putting it on, having Justine do my back, etc...Until I realized I straight up forgot to get my chest.  So now there is a v-shape of lobster red where my tank top wasn't (and an interesting white dot where my necklace lay)... Blearg!  I spent the whole day out there and just... forgot.  Otherwise though, more sun!  More tan!  Swimming in the lake in my bra and shorts with the King Arthur cast!  So good.

Then, we all stuck together and headed out to Mercer Island to catch Wooden O's Macbeth and it was a summer show party.  A ton of GreenStagers were there from both casts and all the Wooden O peeps from Comedy as well, so we were a good audience.  It was a beautiful night and a beautiful day to have off and be able to spend seeing other summer theatre.  And all for $3.  I feel so blessed to be part of such a supportive community and I cannot wait to catch all the other summer shows too (Comedy and A&C I am lookin' at you!)

Everything's Alright, Everything's OK

Yesterday was pretty damn loverly. Amazing baked brie with jam and puff pastry (yeah, you're jealous) for Bastille Day and some phenom David Tennant Hamlet action (he totes went all Doctor when he got crazy--loves it!) and I didn't even hate the Ophelia (she was actually relatable--what?!). Plus it just reiterated to me that Polonius is SO the best character! If only I were an old man! blearg... Roomie managed to stay [semi]engaged in the production for the first 2 hours, but I def finished the last hour on my own...

Tonight I get to see all my As You's again! I missed them SOOO MUCH! And it really hasn't even been that long. What am I gonna do when this show closes...? Well, pickup rehearsal tonight and then 3 shows this weekend (woodland, woodland, judkins), so that makes me happy!

Then a little FFOK, if I feel up to it. We are picking up(?) way out in West Seattle, so if I can get a ride back into downtown I'm probably game, but if not... somehow I doubt I'm gonna want to stay out... Crossing my fingers!

I am wearing my hawk tunic from UO, H&M black leggings, Costco tank underneath and Columbia flip flops with my long black beaded necklace.

Skirting the Issue

Glorious Summer!

Two more rehearsals... TWO! Yikes!

But, the Oranjemen (starring my boyfriend) won yesterday, so all I have to do is hope that Paul is wrong (DAMN YOU, PAUL!) and that Germany can pull it off against Spain today! And then...only be able to watch the first hour of the final game on Sun... BOO! Stupid matinée... But I can watch all of the losers' match on Sat? How is that better... Scheduling shows during the World Cup, come on people! GO GERMANY! PS just MIGHT watch the rematch of today's game on ESPN3 so I can enjoy the MASSIVE amounts of pretty that are the German and the Spanish national teams--ridic!

Today for the gloriousness that is 89 degree weather, I am wearing my edme & esyllte teal polka-dot and navy striped skirt from Anthropologie, grey ruffle front Fossil tank and Columbia flip flops. I also threw on my black cap sleeve sweater from Macys for "office appropriateness"

Independent Thought

Wishing it was nicer out so that I could rock my new swimsuit, but I am on my way to Lake Tapps for the 4th! Older (and wiser) than last year, but planning to have JUST as much fun! Plus, the polka-dot bikini is packed JUST in case (they DO have a hot tub, after all...)

I am wearing my UO Max tee and current/elliot boyfriend jeans from Nordys with my columbia flip flops.

Bathing Beauty

God help me! I am putting pictures of myself in a swimming suit on the internets, but it is SUCH a cute suit that I cannot help it! I feel like days when I get off work early are just MADE for shopping and I definitely took advantage of that today.

After we got off at 1pm, I hit up American Apparel, H&M and Macys all of which were DISMAL failures before running into Emily at Nordys where she offered to do my make up and then we grabbed a quick bite, revitalizing me for my foray through Nordy's swimwear selections. And I swear to you, I probably would have given up there as well if it hadn't been for Kitty (old friend of a friend) working who helped me find the most perfect swimsuit!

Also, probably would have bought this one (the La Blanca by Rob Beattie 'Sweetheart' One Piece) if it hadn't been $120! I mean, come on! I find the perfect swimsuit and it's more money than my entire outfit! BS! But look how cute it is... Maybe I'll go back at the Anniversary Sale and see if it's on sale! Imagine it with the lipstick, floppy hat and GIANT sunglasses. *sigh* Perfection!

I am wearing my new black polka-dot 2 piece Becca swimsuit from Nordys (and not much else--YIKES!) with my light grey floppy hat from UO, Columbia flip-flops and MAC lipstick in Ruby Woo (rest of my makeup by Emily at Giorgio Armani in Nordys!).

Now, I'm back in regular clothes and about to head to our run through at Volunteer Park tonight! Yay! 7 days!

Yo-Yo-Yoga Style

Since I wear this look a couple times a week, I figured it deserved its own posting.

I try to keep it simple with an outfit similar to this one almost every class. Today I wore black lululemon yoga pants and grey wife beater tank from Costco with a Columbia Sportswear sports bra and flip-flops and my long electric blue lululemon zip-up (with thumb holes!) over everything. You can't see it in the picture, but I also have my Nike yoga mat on my back.

Comfy, easy to move and breath in and it keeps me cool in the 85-90 degree heated room--Perfect!
