Jenevieve S/S 2012

Hi there. I hope you had a lovely weekend! Did you watch the new episode of Downton Abbey?? I’m so happy it’s back on! I put away the pretty Christmas decorations on Saturday–which is always kind of a bummer. The house looks so strange without a giant shiny tree in the living room. You can see some of the last bits of dazzle in my Instagram photos. In truth, I couldn’t quite handle it… I left the giant fir boughs on the mantle. They’re just too pretty to let go of just yet.

Here are some sweet looks from the Jenevieve Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Have a good week and don’t forget to enter my amazing Dino e Lucia PARISIAN PARTY DRESS GIVEAWAY! It ends this Tuesday at 8PM PST. Good luck!!

HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED:

☆➔ Pretty handmade 1930s-inspired dresses.

☆➔ I ate at the new Via Tibunali pizza joint downtown (across from Voodoo Doughnut) and it was delicious! Though I’m not crazy about the cutting your own pizza with scissors thing or the novelty of having their tiramisu flown in from Italy… and they need MUCH better lighting in the balcony (we had to read the menu with cellphones!!). Aside from that whining I just did–it’s the same yummy pizza I’ve had in Seattle and they have a good happy hour.
