throw some confetti and yell

Friday, April 20

Skirt: c/o Windsor, Top: Gap
My sweet sister Jillyan sent us a care package yesterday filled with our favorite candy, books for Everett and a giant bag of confetti. Attached to the confetti was a little note: 

Because sometimes the best cure for anything is grabbing a handful of this stuff, throwing it in the air and yelling.

The girl knows what's up.
And I'll love her forever for it.

What sweet surprise! Lucky you, having a sister like that. You look so cute!

April 20, 2012 5:51 AM

Sometimes the best cure is capturing great pictures like these! Love it.

April 20, 2012 5:51 AM

That is too cute! Aren't care packages the best? I loved when my brother sent me a surprise one with my favorite tea and cookies from the States (I'm living in Amsterdam right now!) and it totally made my week.

Gotta love siblings :)

April 20, 2012 5:58 AM

That is awesome - and these pictures are amazing! :) Hope you have a great weekend!!

I did this with glitter for a photo shoot, not such a great idea..I wish i would have thought of confetti. Ps glitter is REALLY hard to get off of your stuff, especially your hair.

April 27, 2012 8:18 AM

Love this post! So adorable and a great idea!! Also, where did you get your adorable top?!? Love your blog!
