The Only Thing I Know Is That I've Never Known Someone Like You...

Do you ever wish that you could just stop time? Just press stop for a day... even for an hour, just so you can catch up on everything. I feel like this spring, everything has been happening so fast that all my reserves are in short supply. I feel like I've barely slept since Christmas. Between work, marriage and family commitments... I haven't had time to spend on the blog. This blog is really important to me, I know it might not seem like it, but it is. I've always loved having a journal or blog, somewhere to put all my thoughts and adventures, I love sharing my life with the vast unknown. I hope that this is why you'll all forgive me for being so terrible at it.
As I am now fully installed at my parents' summer house in the Hamptons, I feel like I finally have a moment to breathe and take some time to update here. As I said, things have been crazy. Even just the past month has been insane. Ben got a huge gig working for one of his favourite bands, so he was only here in the Hamptons for a week before he had to fly to London, meaning that I won't see him again until the end of August. I love seeing my family, but I really miss him already. One of my cousins' showed up unexpectedly last week, Mick is Hannah's little brother (my mom's sister's son) and he's always kind of been troubled... so we've all been kind of dealing with that. And! My mother decided to move back her annual summer party by a week, which means that it fell on my birthday, it also allowed for Ben and I to leave a week later so we got to see Sufjan Stevens play at the Orpheum before we left. We're huge fans and I was so excited. Like I said, things have been hectic.
Speaking of my mother's party, it's usually thrown in my nephew Oscar's honour (it's usually on his birthday) and he's like super super into Spongebob Squarepants right now so my mom decided to make the party a hawaiian theme. It was totally fun and as usual Ben and I played a set along with a few of our musician friends from New York. (I've included the set list below).

Set List:
1. 'One (Blake's Got A New Face' - Vampire Weekend
2. 'Varsity' - Smith Westerns
3. 'On The Road' - Houndmouth
4. 'My Unusual Friend' - Fruit Bats
5. 'The Sound Of Settling' - Death Cab For Cutie
6. 'Don't Ask For More' - Adam Green & Binki Shapiro
7. 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me' - The Mamas & The Papas
8. 'It's Never Over (Hey Orpheus)' - Arcade Fire
9. 'Explorer' - Breathe Owl Breathe
10. 'What's The Reward' - Adam Green & Binki Shapiro
11. 'Say It' - Houndmoth
12. 'Dress Up In You' - Belle And Sebastian
13. 'Goodbye Song' - The Moldy Peaches

So yeah... things have settled down a bit now and we're all just relaxing. We went out to celebrate both mine and my little sister Ruby's birthday on the 11th, which was super fun. My sister Willa and her boyfriend Daniel are with us and we all went out to celebrate her birthday on the 19th after a family celebration on 18th which is her actual birthday. I know that I usually post a look at what I got everyone for their birthdays but like I said, I've just been too busy. Kae, Willa, Daniel and I are taking Oscar to see Jurassic World tonight which is gonna be amazing. Kae and I have always been huge Jurassic Park fans.
So below, I've posted a back log of outfit posts. Going all the way back to the 9th, which was the night we went to Sufjan with a few of our friends... kind of a pre-birthday celebration.
I hope you are all well and will continue to stop by and check out the blog. I've got some plans... I know, I always say that. Love you all.
-Bea

(Ps. when I arrived in the Hamptons we realized that my niece and I now have the exact same hair cut. It's pretty funny. Apparently the lob in still in.)

The City Lights And Restless Nights...

Hi there,

It's been so hot the last couple days, I feel like I'm melting. We've been keeping it pretty low-key around here. Ben and I did get away for a bit to Manhattan over the weekend to see some friends who were throwing a party to celebrate their new art project. We went up on Thursday and had dinner with my cousin Hannah -who is seriously ready to explode- and her husband James. After that we mainly just hung out around the city, did a little shopping and what-not. It was nice.
Now that we're back we've just been doing family things. I can't believe that the summer is already almost over. It always seems to go by so fast. I hate that. Tonight we're watching an as of yet undecided movie on the projector, I'll let you know what we decide. Hope you are all having a great summer.
-Bea

(Ps. Ben and I just ordered out Ryan Adams tickets for when he hits Vancouver in November! Can't freakin' wait. Last time we saw him was when he came with Oasis and I nearly got in a fist fight with some blonde biker chick who kept getting in my grill. Which would have been fine if we had been in the open floor but it was seated for goodness sake. Rude! I have promised Ben that I will refrain from making any wife of a man whom could kick his ass angry. I think that's fair.)

2. 'Strong' - The Golden Dogs
3. 'The Listeners' - Breathe Owl Breathe
4. 'Just To Make Me Feel Good' - Adam Green & Binki Shapiro
5. 'I Didn't See It Coming' - Belle And Sebastian
6. 'Half Moon' - Blind Pilot
7. 'Vision Quest' - Breathe Owl Breathe
8. 'Construction Worker' - The Golden Dogs
9. 'Afterlife' - Arcade Fire
10. 'Boat' - Breathe Owl Breathe

So there you go. It was so much fun!
This is the back half of the massive outfit post I started earlier. Later tonight, I'll show you what I got my little sister Ruby for her 13th birthday, which is today. I hope you enjoy...

And We Will Never Be Alone Again, 'Cause It Doesn't Happen Everyday...

Okay, so...

I have decided that I will no longer apologize for being away for long periods of time... why? Because I was looking over the blog and realized that every single one of the last few posts started with 'I'm sorry'. So no more apologies, you guys know that I post when I can.
Anyway, I've been so super, super busy. It's so crazy. I've been getting all the birthday gifts together for my lovely family this summer because as some of you know my two sisters, both my niece and nephew, my mother as well as my husbands all celebrate birthdays between now and September. *Sigh* That's why I'm always poor this time of year. So I've been getting that stuff together while starting to pack for the summer, I leave for the Hamptons on June 8th and will get there just in time to be at mom's summer kick off party, which we missed last year due to well... getting married. That's right, Ben and I will officially have been married one year on June 7th. We're gonna go out for dinner and have a generally romantic evening. On the 5th, a group of my friends are coming over to help celebrate my birthday early.
So on top of getting all this stuff ready, I've also been dealing with the winding down of the school year which means exams and what not. Plus Ben's has been in L.A. for the past ten days working, so it's just been me. This is where I've got my frownie face on. I hate when he travels but I do like when he comes home with money. It's a good trade off.
Anyway, I have a massive outfit post for you, like so massive that I've had to break it up into two posts. Eleven outfits! Jeez. Stay tuned. I'll post it right after this one. Promise! (oops, now it'll never happen!)
