24 July 29

It's the weekend before my birthday! Also, known as the beginning of the end of summer. Once my birthday comes around it just seems like summer is over. At least I have our Portland trip to look forward to. We are leaving next Saturday and I can hardly wait! I've got to study up this next week on what to pack (Portland street style is just way too good) and where to eat/shop.

THIS weekend however, Jon and I are taking a pre-birthday mini-roadtrip to Raleigh to see Bon Iver tonight and then to my new favorite restaurant, Sweet Potatoes, in Winston-Salem for a pre-birthday dinner tomorrow night.

While we are on the subject on Bon Iver:

As soon as I saw his latest video I thought, wasn't that girl from America's Next Top Model? Apparently that is how my brain works.

Here are some things that caught my interest this week:

Trolley Depot Before and After Renovation-I'll be thinking about this for every abandoned building I see now.

I could always use more wall art.

Now this is a map of Paris used as wall art! Also, I stole their sheet over the couch idea.
