i had a bit of fun on picnik :)

Berets and Beignets (aka 4th Day of Hat Week)

It was accidentally beret day! Juju and I both wore one today. And we didn't even call each other planning to be twins! You know what they say about great minds...




I borrowed my Grampa's camera (yes, my Grampa is cooler than me with his DSLR camera, ginormous Mac, and his brand new Macbook Pro) so we decided to play around with the settings, thus resulting in some funny lighting. Watching Grampa try to figure out what happened to his settings ought to be interesting.

Isn't Juju's dachshund pin absolutely adorable?


There's something I have yet to announce to our little blog, but I suppose it's as good a time as any. 

I recently got ENGAGED!

Recent being two months ago, but still. 
Here's a picture of my gorgeous ring.


  
Didn't he do good? He picked it out all by himself. :)


Juju and I are both excited for tomorrow--we're wearing our favorite hats!
And they might be somewhat interesting.

Day 3 of HAT WEEK!

How much fun is it to wear hats all week? Way fun, let me tell you. Especially when you're with your best friend!

Today's pictures were taken in the chapel on campus. Which explains the organ pipes in the background.

Because it is hat week, I simply must say something about Kate Middleton. You know. The girl who broke hearts around the world by accepting Prince William's proposal? Yeah. That one. But how adorable/pretty/gorgeous is she? And she has a fabulous hat collection. 

Proof:







Cute hats, cute clothes, cute guy. She just lives a cute life, no?


On to some more cuties...



Why hello there Ms. Grace.

And check out the non-sunglasses Juju found:


Now if you'll excuse us, we are on our way to England to have tea with the future Princess Kate and steal whatever cute hat she's wearing eat some tasty finger sandwiches as we drool over her soon-to-be husband. Ta ta!

it'sday2of HATWEEK!!!!!!

today is the second day of the first official Hat Week!
since it took me foooooorever to figure out to what to wear this morning i just kinda threw something together... and actually look kind of cute...   but as i don't have an utter abundance of cute casual winter hats, i am wearing my simple (but adorable) black cloche with the bow on the side.  


the student activities board brought a sketch artist to the student union building so jb and i got our "sexy side"s sketched :)
since we were both in skirts we weren't sure how he was going to get "sexy" out of the picture (he sketches mainly from the back...) but we turned out pretty awesome!







 
here are some more random, but interesting hat pictures i ran across...












                   guys and hats are usually a good combination...
case in point- frank sinatra
(note/disclaimer: a baseball cap is not a hat. nor is anything that is usually referred to as a cap) 

The whole shadow of Man is only as big as his hat. 


And all your future lies beneath your hat. 


and oh my goodness... if i had the money and had know about it earlier...
i so would have gone to 
the Hats Of The Wold Luncheon with the
 The Hat Ladies of Charleston





but i didn't and i didn't :(
ah well, there's always next year!!

well, until tomorrow....
tip your hat and have a lovely day!!

mondayofHATWEEK

while perusing the www i found several interesting hat-related articles so i'll share those along with the day's pictures!!



todays pictures were taken in the library,
 one of our favorite places ;)
very little compares to the
amazingness
of being surrounded
by a multitude of
history
fantasy
facts
big words
pictures
stories
information
imagination...
















we had an... interesting time trying to get a picture of our hats together like this... we were lying on a table, but only partially... most of me was hanging off :)  at least these turned out cute.







while we were in the library looking for books that matched our outfits, jb ran accross this interesting art book that had a patinint thing attached to it.  someone had signed it and it looks like it says JuJu... well she had every reason to assume i had signed it (i would do something like that...) but i hadn't.  since there were 2 blanks she signed her name, we pretended the other was mine, then fingerprinted it for further notariaty :)
