"spencer tweedy is a photographical genius" -spencer's suggestion for this title


Rodarte for Target longsleeve (FTC disclosure: I received clothes and compensation from Target for my collaboration with Rodarte for Target.) Vintage leather dress. Thrifted purse.

This amazing photo (Film! Unedited! Like the good ole days when I wasn't alive!) was taken by Spencer when we drove to his cottage with our buddies and his family, only to have very little time at the cottage itself. Too many Culver's stops. And Wal-Mart, where we all took a completely non-awkward family portrait. Golly, we may be just about the handsomest family in all the land. Also at Wal-Mart, Dana and I bought Spencer a hot pink maternity shirt that said "Mama needs a time-out," complete with an illustration of a martini glass. I think he secretly hates it because he still hasn't worn it out, but is afraid to tell me in case it hurts my feelings or insults my maternity wear sensibilities.

  1. Spencer is a photographical genius. This makes me miss film.

    And hooray for Culver's. Their frozen custard is the best. I wish we had them where I live.

  24. My mother become concerned the other day when I entered a Maternity store completely calm. She pulled me aside and asked me if there was anything that I wanted to tell her. I was confused. She pointed out the fact that we were knee deep in belly-land, strollers and large bellies included. I pointed out the long draped tops.

    I doubt there's anything wrong with your maternity sensibility, Tavi
