post no. 333 -- it's the little things v. 5

it's the end of the week, and that means i'm linking up again with lindsay over at aisle to aloha for it's the little things.

earlier this week buzz left for another business trip, so we snuck in dinner and drinks at a hotel here in waikiki. it's still funny to me, being able to go out during the week without a curfew. i guess that's what happens when you get married at 18 and move straight from your parent's house to your own!



i pulled this maxi dress out of my closet the other day after nearly forgetting about it's existence {poor thing probably has self esteem issues} for the last several months. finding simple little ways to pull an outfit together with it is almost as fun as actually bringing home a new dress!



when buzz is gone i always have a hard time falling asleep at night. between my mind going a million miles per hour, an empty bed, and a puppy that now thinks she is free of responsibility, it gets rough. this week i decided to bust out the tea to help calm my nerves before bed and it actually worked! {don't worry i didn't have breakfast tea like the tin states, but rather chamomoile, much much more calming!}  



i also dug up this little treaure the other day. and by dug up i mean pulled the car over and shoved it in the back seat. it needs a good chunk of love, but it goes perfectly with the dresser i brought home awhile back. mid-century modern for the win!



be sure to head on over to lindsay's blog to link up to the party and share how your week went!

  14. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the sweet comment. I'd say I was sorry for making you even more crazy...but I'm not =) LOL tell your husband he is very welcome!

    You live in Hawaii? I am so jealous. You don't even know! My husband, baby (2 months old at the time), and I were there last January and we loved it so much! I'd love to live there someday!

    Love that maxi! Very cute!

  19. sigh. I understand more than you know about having the one you love not around...my husband and I were long distance for three years, but now, when he's gone for work, it makes it so much easier because I know it's only temporary! hang in there, my dear--when you're finding great pieces like that little table, it's a good distraction ;) so happy to have found your blog! xoxo {av} | {long distance loving}
