Image
  what i'm watching... sib and i finished the vampire diaries season 1 , and we already borrowed season 2 from the library. welcome, katherine pierce... what i'm listening to... this week, sib is the blog's  playlist director . sib compiled a variety of songs for us. the number one song was dolly parton's berry pie , which she has been obsessing over probably since dolly died. let's be real though, she loved it when it was trending online too.  the playlist continues on with some classic croatian hits: severina, magazin, and e.n.i. as classic girl bops, jacques houdek  aka croatia's mariah carey, and rajko dujmić , a pillar of croatian pop music. after seve, we slow down with some cool tunes: bonnie and clyde by brigitte bardot and serge gainsbourg , erase/rewind by the cardigans, the good kind by the wreckers (straight from the one tree hill soundtrack), policy of truth - depeche mode , and candy perfume girl by madonna . is that an ode to her birthday gift,...

  i am glad it was a short work week due to the holiday. it gave us just enough time to get adjusted to the jetlag, and swelter in the unusual ohio heat. this week was all about sib , and you'll get to read about her more in other entries. we celebrated her birthday by taking a walk thru chagrin falls , getting there too late to wander around  past meets present , my fave vintage designer boutique. we agreed to follow up there another time. we got dinner - sushi for me and thai steak salad for her, and some light cocktails, finishing up with a decadent kahlua sundae on top of a brownie.  birthday drinks with sib! we finally took down our last summer decorations in the house, completed a deep clean and even thoroughly cleared out the garage. now, if only the weather would comply... looking like a leprechaun... this week's looks most of the week was spent in muted tones, from sets to plaid color combos.  tuesday work.  uniqlo top, new york and co. plaid pants, pen...
