my man surprised me with a date to the north carolina museum of art on friday night. i showed up at his apartment wearing a dress and he was like "we have to go somewhere nice with you looking that good." or something to that effect. seriously. where did this kid come from?
i hadn't been there since high school so it was really cool to look at all of the new stuff. i'm not a high brow art history expert so i'm sure much of the art appreciation was lost on me, but it was still fun to walk around and ohh and ahh over certain pieces and scratch our heads at others. (art is a loose term, yeah?)

is there an art museum close to any of you that you have been to? do you have a favorite artist or exhibit? a favorite time period of art?
ackland art museum is also a really fun date! it's by unc. we just walked around and pretend to know what was happening... but i love your supah awesome dress! you do look super fabulous; glad your boy knows that he's got a catch!
ReplyDeletei don't know why he likes me, but i am going with it!! this kid is the best in all the land. i will have to check out the museum you mentioned. sounds like a cool place!
DeleteStop the picture of you two holding hands. What a great date! Find me a boy to take me to an art exhibit!
ReplyDeletei will keep my ears and eyes open for a boy worthy of you. he must like good music, reading/writing, and art. must also be handsome and a gentleman. and have a very nice smile. anything else?
DeleteBritish would be supreme but not needed. I'll take Italian and French as well ;)
DeleteYou guys are the cutest!! I'm agreeing with Emma on this one, I love that picture of you two holding hands--and I want a boy to take to the art exhibit :)
ReplyDeletehaha thanks! he humors me and lets me take pictures of him/our hands. i want to go to this museum called the nasher museum next. it's on duke university campus and looks awesome! and did i read that you are en route to nc?? tell me more!
DeleteWhat a sweet guy! Love that he did that- surprise dates are seriously my fave! Ps love your dress!! Where's it from?!
ReplyDeleteyeah, he's a keeper. :-) dress is from target. in LOVE with it. so flattering and super comfortable. killer combo in my book!
DeleteEeek! I love impromptu dates. That museum reminds me a lot of the Atlanta High Museum! Also, I really love your dress. Target, right? I've been eyeing it for a few weeks and may have to go and get it! You look stunning! Thanks for linking up with us!
ReplyDeletehappy i could link up this time around! it's such a fun idea. yes, spontaneous dates are so fun! if you have been thinking about this dress, you MUST get it. it s my new favorite. it's so stretchy and soft and comfortable. do yourself a favor and stop by target today. :-)
DeleteWhat a fun impromptu date! He sounds like a sweetheart :) Love your dress and art museums are so much fun... My friend and I checked out the museum of modern art in NYC when we were there a couple of months ago, although there was a lot of interesting exhibits I have to admit there was a lot I just didn't 'get'. Maybe I'm just not cool enough haha! I love photography and it's probably my favorite form of art, especially lifestyle photography.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the coffee date link up :)
Tawnya
he is kind of precious. :-) no, i'm so glad you're willing to admit to not "getting it" either! such a relief to know i'm not the only one. there was one that was literally a diamond shape canvas painted blue. THAT'S IT. say whaaaa? us non-modern art people gotta stick together. give me lifestyle photography anyway! thanks for stopping by. :-)
DeleteOh sweet! It looks like such a fund date!
ReplyDeletewe had a great time! the best part was drinking beer on the porch afterwards. art gazing is a tiring process! ;-)
DeleteAw, what a cute date idea! I haven't been to the art museum in a few years but I have been meaning to go back. I don't know much about art but I love walking around and looking at everything! And girl, you are rocking that maxi dress- super cute!
ReplyDeletewell that just means we will need to add art museum to our list of things to do when we hang out. ;-) this maxi dress is a dream! run, don't walk, to your nearest target and buy it. no regrets. it's soft, stretchy, easy to dress up or down, and i feel super feminine in it. it's got it all!
DeleteWhat a sweet boyfriend you have :) Love the art museum. Haven't been in a couple years! Been dying to do one of their outdoor movies they have during the summer weekends...
ReplyDeleteyes the outdoor movie was going on the night we went! so many people hauling chairs and blankets and stuff. looked like so much fun! i didn't even know they had a great little amphitheater out there. i want to check out the schedule for the rest of the summer.
