des moines arts festival 2013

Earlier today my friend Amy and I ventured out a few blocks from my apartment to the Des Moines Arts Festival. I've been feeling guilty for not going since it's a pretty big, weekend-long event that is hosted basically outside my front door. When I woke up this morning with a stomach ache (the result of last night's "awesome 'possum" party, which I'll talk about in another post), I was sad, because I really wanted to go to the arts festival. Luckily I was able to sleep off my hangover and we made it the Western Gateway Park at around 2:00. The weather was perfect; 80 or so degrees, coupled with a nice breeze. We made our way around all the art vendors and food vendors and somehow I ended up spending $20 and spent some time just sitting in the grass, basking in the sun.

P.S. If you want your hot bitch to wear one of those cute shirts (or the any of the other designs we have for pooch's) you can get 'em here! We've got shirts to accomodate dogs of all sizes, and even some small enough to fit a cat, if that's your pet of choice.

And since I forgot to take a picture of the back of the shirt during the brick wall "photo shoot", here it is. I like that the slit only goes halfway up, that way you can still wear a regular bra! 

oh you nasty boys

This week it finally warmed up, so it gave me the chance to start wearing my summer clothes! I bought this Nasty Gal dress back in January, eagerly awaiting the moment when I would finally be able to take it out of my closet. I've also acquired the help of my photographer friend/coworker. She has been nice enough to do little impromptu "photoshoots" with me after work. I'm still not up to DSLR status yet, but maybe someday.
