Birthday Beards.

I grew up in the bay area of California. My entire life I have wanted to be married to a corduroy wearing, paint splattered, granola-y bearded man. Until I met Freddo. He was perfect in every way. He made me forget about the corduroy, paint and granola-ness that I'd previously longed for. But I couldn't forget about the beard.

Freddo looks good with a little 5 o'clock shadow, so I knew he'd look great with a beard.

However, Freddo was not having it when I put in my request for him to grow out the fuzz... fortunately I don't give up easily... so one evening I filled his belly with the yummiest of dinners and while he was peacefully drifting off to sleep I sweetly asked him to give it a go, to grow out a "birthday beard" for me... And he agreed!
The rules: No shaving from October 9th to November 9th.
Exactly one month of true beardiness.

And I tell ya... the kicking and screaming... the complaints and mean bristle rubbing against my own little red cheeks was worth it.

While I ended up deciding at the end of the month that I prefer my Freddo to be clean shaven (a girl's cheeks can only take so much!) I was happy to have finally gotten my bearded man. Isn't he a looker?

**Sigh**

Wishing you all a little "birthday beard-y" happiness of your own,

Han

PS. How much do you love the stash? I snapped this as Freddo was shaving everything off... Cracks me up!

Tie-Dyesaster: Clothes Stealers

Yeah, so this weeks clothes stealers was supposed to be tie-dye themed in 

honor of our mom's totally cool shop on etsy (check it out here).

Unfortunately my camera battery died and so I have no photos of me wearing a charcoal grey felt floppy hat, orange and blue dyed slip dress, and shoes of some sort. I really tried on these photos too...I took them in the woods! In light that was bright enough to not have to go in later and edit the exposure waaaaay up to make it look like I didn't take these photos at 12:30 in the AM only to end up with granular photos (and not in a good way) from my poor editing! And I posed! 

It's like, whatever dude.

I don't care about cameras anyway.

So to not leave you hanging I wanted to gift to you a little tie-dye inspiration.

Behold:

Talk about some pretty chic granola!

Grab a button and link up with your tie-dye and stay tuned for a tutorial on the best "fake tie dye" ever. I know... we keep you guessing around here... fake tie dye?
epic.

I die for tie dye-
