It would be safe to say the highlight of my New Year's Eve was the limbo contest. I have absolutely no clue how this started, but I'm so happy it did. All thanks to someone picking up JB's light saber and thinking, "Ah ha, this would make a great limbo stick!" Being 5'8 and wearing 3" heels I didn't think I had a chance, but boy was I wrong. Needless to say, I was the limbo champion that night! I never knew I had it in me, but so happy to know that if all else fails, I've got the limbo!
Short season can't come soon enough! I am loving these short "dirty dewalt yellow" virgina shorts by Wintercheck Factory. Thanks Lox Papers for introducing me to this jazzy little shop! Obsessed!
This past summer I was driving down my street, heading to work when I saw the cutest little blondie/blue eye boy you could ever imagine! He was at the end of his driveway holding a little sign above his head. That was it, I once again was going to be late for work, but I didn't care, I had to stop. When I looked out my window I saw no cups... no lemonade... no pitcher of any liquid... What could this little dumpling be selling? Perplexed I immediately inquire,"Sugar plum, what is it you are selling?"
"Pictures."
"What kind of pictures do you have?"
He proudly walked over to his mailbox, pulled out a folder, and walked back over to show me his work. He had about 12 pieces of 8.5 x 11 white computer paper, each penciled with a flower, doodle, or stick figure and a large price written largely at the top. My heart melted. I sat there for about five minutes badgering the miniature pumpkin with questions. He stood there responding with one word answers, praying his responsiveness would lead to a big sale. I looked through his pile once again, found the most expensive piece of merchandise, and shook his hand!
I still look back at the sale I made with that little puddin' and smile! To me, that $3.00 piece of artwork is worth all the money in the world!
My mama's got something up her sleeve again. I swear every time I turn around she has thought of something even more brilliant. This photo is a sneak peek of what's to come. I am going to be helping her with this project so this post is as a little reminder to myself to get my ass in gear!
Partners & Spade is a company I have been long admiring. Partners, Andy Spade and Anthony Sperduti bumped heads in 2008 in hopes of executing a variety of creative interests. These two geniuses specialize in brand strategy, film production, books, and marketing. Partners and Spade's client list is truly ideal, working with some of my all-time favorites, such as J.Crew, Kate Spade, and Boast. Partners & Spade so kindly introduced me to the wonderful Greenwich, CT tennis gear and sportswear company, Boast. But what really made me fall hard for Boast is the ever-so-creative brand photography produced by Partners & Spade. They do an incredible job selling the brand throughout these quirky photographs. Good work Partners, you sold me!
