this weekend was one of those exceptionally good weekends. saturday night a group of us went out dancing for our dear friend jason’s birthday. the night was filled with lots of energy, silly dance moves, and lots of laughter. since we didn’t get home until around 2 a.m., we took this morning easy and after getting a bit of spring cleaning done, we eventually headed up to park city for a delicious dinner this evening. -and boy was it delicious. if you ever make it up to park city, do yourself a favor and stop at bandits bar and grill for amazing barbecue. mmmm barbecue … we ended our weekend with some homemade chocolate malts and the last movie in the bourne series, the bourne ultimatum, which is only the fiftieth time we’ve seen it. yay for weekends! seriously though, we love them! how were your weekends??

i know this really isn’t traditionally a brunch food, but i had been craving tapioca pudding all week. it’s one of those foods i’ve grown up loving and love it i still do. we sprinkled our pudding tops with a little cinnamon to change things up a bit and sliced into some juicy grapefruit we had bought at whole foods the day before … you know, so we felt like we were being slightly healthy … even if it was just slightly.

spring cleaning part one01
as much as i try, i find at heart i am not the most organized of people. as you probably can imagine, in a small apartment, this can sometimes be a problem. my biggest problem of organizing grief takes place in the bedroom. my drawers eventually find themselves full of bunched up wrinkly clothing begging to be neatly refolded and nicely stacked away. camden and i decided this year, because of our downsized lifestyle, to simplify our dressers and closets a bit especially with the promise of warmer weather ahead. we have lately been going through our clothes and setting our warm winter pieces aside to be stored until next year as well as donating a few pieces we could do without. – and it’s helped. my drawers have stayed noticeably neater, plus it always feels good to do a little organizing and cleaning with this new beginning, spring.

^ a pile to donate, a pile to store away ’til next year, and a pile to stay within my drawer.
p.s. i like to keep a few cooler weather pieces out since i find myself in need of them from time to time year round.

…in the middle of the day. there is this rare thing that happens every great once in a while where camden and i find ourselves with a weekday off together. -and let me just state here that i mean on the same exact day. it’s a strange time in itself that camden and i have the same day off, let alone during the traditional work week. just last week camden and i got to experience exactly one of these days. so what did we do? we met up with a friend to celebrate the only way we knew how on a weekday off around noon, with some delicious food, also known as lunch. can i just say, since i was spoiled with this luxury day, with fabulous lunch, and wonderful company, i’ve been finding myself wishing all days were like this? -and seriously now, shouldn’t they be?

i wore: romper, vintage from @the_moth_closet // jacket, nordstrom // heart pin, ban.do // shoes, nordstrom // purse, vintage coach
