July 4th photos

I took these over the weekend in Philadelphia while visiting my dear friend Amy. It reminded me so much of my high school photography class and how much fun it was to take photos at night!

help still needed for custom boxes

Yes! I am still seeking help for my custom boxes! There was a $75 gift certificate at stake but now I'm raising it to $100 just for a little extra incentive. Not to mention having your design on my boxes for who knows how long?

Please contact me directly with questions & submissions at freshie{at!}freshieandzero.com. You may read the original post here with all of the specifics. I guess I should add some legal jargon about how the design becomes my property and I can use it in the future etc, etc but I guess I'll work that out with the person who submits that winning design...

Thank you fabulous graphic designers!!!

A girl can dream

I can't afford any of these purses, but I can always imagine what it would be like to have one, right? Plus, my 30th birthday is right around the corner and I'm certainly not afraid to treat myself...Chloé - Saskia square tote - $2,005 - net-a-porter.com

Beautiful structure & color! I bet that leather feels like buttah...

Orla Kiely medium beach tote - $180 - piperlime.com
I've always loved Orla Kiely - her patterns are so bold and simple.
Susan Farber Collections 'Mezzo - Sofia' Clutch - $258 - nordstrom.com
This looks like something a very stylish girl would have in her wardrobe.
Plenty by Tracy Reese oversized canvas clutch - $175 - norstrom.com
I've always liked Tracy Reese, too but alas have never purchased one of her creations.


Chella Bag - $268 - anthropologie.com
This may be my favorite out of all of these. SO pretty and classically bohemian.

Sutradhara Shoulder bag - $228 - anthropologie.com
I love this bag, too. It reminds me of M.I.A.'s style - a little crazy & colorful but totally stylish.

Chicago Pics

Greg & I went out for dinner in Chicago on Friday night and had a bottle of wine at Bistro 110. Needless to say, merriment ensued along with a well-documented walk through downtown Chicago...

Every 5 minutes, I was thrusting my camera at Greg saying "take a picture!" right before I did something goofy (or made him do something goofy). Ah... I love wine!
