Bedford Springs 2015

Last weekend Mr. Keller and I made (what has become) our annual trip to the Omni Bedford Springs Resort in Bedford, PA. This time we met up with another Mr. Keller, by bro-in-law and his wife for a fun couples weekend. Here are some shots!

The porch outside of our room. The historical side of the resort has these long shared porches, as opposed to private balconies.

The fire pit just outside our window.

The door to the porch in our room, with drapes to keep out any cold drafts--so old timey!

There are a THOUSAND decorative details throughout the entire place, I wish I was able to get more close up shots like this curtain holdback.

Detail shot of the hallway, I am in love with that top wallpaper. I may copy it, whenever we move into a new house.

A makeshift breakfast of organic tea, cucumber water, and a trail mix of granola, berries, dried oranges and banana slices from the spa's relaxation lounge refreshments table.

The dessert was so good, I'm getting hungry just thinking about how flavorful and comforting it was.

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that. Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns! Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans. Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please! Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast. Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut. Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton . What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years... FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out. And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics. That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear. Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids. I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a
