boy howdy daily

so 2 girlfriends and i have started up a new blog.

basically, we were sending each other iphone 

pics of our outfits everyday and we thought

"this should be a blog."

so boy howdy daily was born.

enjoy it.

i'm not sure why, but this was one of my favorites

from postsecret this last week.

maybe it's because it's so personal and most of them tell their secrets.

this leaves more up to the imagination.

and hell, i really want to know what fiona's sister is up to.

praises

fire it up

so this past week...

we bought a new dining table.

i got a dress i will maybe have the rest of my life.

(jenn, is that dramatic? haha)

i turned 26.

wait, no...27.

i saw the faces of some of my most favorite people on this earth.

i drank a very high number of extra dirty martinis. and also learned how to finally make them!

i sang aerosmith's "dream on" in public.

i got a bunch of new music, thanks to skinner.

 a 3 month old baby attended my birthday dinner.

you could say it was an amazing week.

i am thankful for the memories.

his 9 month journey

about 2 or 3 times a week, my dear sweet friend preeti

allowed me to film the profile of her baby bump for the duration of her pregnancy.

(i think she may have thought i was crazy at times!)

but the end result is this film.

it's a treasure to me as much as it is to her.

platinum with a pop of yellow

as i've recently mentioned, we are moving soon.

as in saturday.

boo ya!

ok, so here are my ideas on our bedroom. i am really excited about decorating this new place.

actually, funnnnny sidenote. my parents were in town this weekend and we decided to go by

our new place to show them. my dad checked the side door and it happened to be unlocked.

and we happened to go inside.

i was worried about this one pale blue wall in our bedroom with the color scheme i am about to share.

but if you know me at all, i am not into being matchy matchy.

so bring it on pale blue wall.

 duvet + shams from west elm.

manly striped sheets for T. west elm, as well.

freaking amazing pillow with yellow rosettes!

cute pattern on the back. i already bought 2 of these. from target(!!!!!!!!)

and lastly, the trollsta from ikea. i showed this to my sis-in-law, lindsey 

and she said, "leah, only you would have yellow nightstands in your bedroom!"

haha this is true. but i love them. i may only get 1 as it is quite jarring.

or maybe 2.

so most of you know i am into doing short films.

mainly random things, friends weddings (no, i'm not open for business - haha).

i recently did a film on "the twinks", my twin niece and nephew.

do enjoy!

CB2 has the best pillows.

we are moving soon, so i've got home decor on the mind again......

it's a pillow show!

"laugh" is one i really may buy.

these would make great gifts. i would give the above "taxi cab london" to jenn.

i would give "taxi cab india" to preeti.

 and "taxi cab mexico" would go to daisy.

praises

Santa B

we just spent a week in santa barbara with my bro, his wife and their sweet twins.

we stayed with tara's aunt and uncle and this is their dog.

happy father's day!

i carry your heart

yesterday, my dear sweet alexis got married to the love of her life, kyle.

it was an evening garden wedding off an unsuspecting country road near our hometown.

i don't have many pictures as i was filming the whole time.

but...i did happen to snap a couple of pictures from my iphone.

june 12th was wonderful, magical and completely full of love.

i will share their wedding film with you as soon as i am done.

i leave with you my favorite quote for alexis and kyle:

"once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, 

love gives us a fairy tale."
