throwback thursday: these are a few of my favorite things.

i'm super stoked for this week's #tbt because it combines three of my favorite things: halloween, candy and wait for it...my lovely little sis! (are you sick of her yet?)

now twenty-something years since this pic was taken, i'll be handing out the treats from our cali home for the first time - although not-so-secretly wishing i was at the west hollywood carnaval. but even better...ash comes to visit me for the first time tomorrow for a west coast weekend of shenanigans. i'll be like a kid in a candy store...or a kid going through halloween candy, or whatever.

if you think this post doesn't match the usual #mff (mini fashion fridays) theme, you're wrong. just look at ash's cute top bun and bangs! so on trend.

homecoming.

my husband has been in and out of town lately to california for work and i haven't been able to go with him the last few times because of my own job. the good husband that he is though, he took one for the team and brought back a piece of santa monica for me this weekend from my favorite shop, brandy melville. (it hasn't even been a year for us yet, after all, we are still in the newlywed phase!)

since most everything is one-size-fits-all it was at least a little easier for him to pick something out, and he surprised me this ruffled, sheer maxi skirt - the shannon skirt - in a purple floral print. he knows me well! although i was excited to have him home, this present was almost as appreciated.

side note: although not style-related, i thought you might get a kick out of another part of his trip. the passenger behind him on the plane handed him a little bag of mini reeses peanut butter cups with this note attached. it was too cute not to share. what a good idea! moms, take note...i know i am marking it down for the future!
