Kip and I went out today to do take new bio pictures for our site, so I thought I would share this Instax photo sneak peek! I'm a little obsessed with that camera and can't wait to get my own with birthday money! We also ordered business cards, picked up random supplies, and I found a pair of higher waisted jean shorts. Lovely afternoon. ♥
So. I'm pretty late on blogging this too, but whatever. The week after Steph came, Kip boarded a plane from Minneapolis and arrived to stay with me for the week. I was really bad at taking pictures, but here are a few from our adventures:
The first night we walked to the park and went to a coffee shop and talked.
On Wednesday, it rained, hailed, snowed, and thunder and lightening all in one day. It was impressive. We started at the Brooklyn Bridge, spent $6.50 on bad cappcuinnos while it snowed outside, and walked all the way through Chinatown, SoHo, and eventually to Union Square where we met Nate for dinner.
We did pop into a store in Chinatown that day to find tape to tape up on a hole in my boots, but left only with Pocky.
The next day I had class, so Kip went into the city to meet friends. I was planning on meeting him, but ended up not feeling well, so I met him in the city the next day. We walked a bunch and ended up on the Highline by the end.
The last night we went back to Brooklyn and hung out with friends on campus until Kip left to catch his early morning flight. It was such a lovely week and it felt so right to go on adventures with my favorite boy-pal again.
We're both moving back to Boise for the summer to work and finally unveil our new venture and I seriously could not be more excited. I've only known Kip for less than year, but he's one of my closest friends and I am forever grateful for his frienship and partnership. Love you, Kip-boy.
Guess who's here and has an absurd haircut? KIP-BOY.
Kip and I shot a band last week(more on that soon!), but afterwards we went thrifting and adventuring and then finally ended up at our friend Lindsey's house where we filmed that.
A few days after Christmas, Kip and I armed ourselves for a thrifting adventure in Nampa and Caldwell(neighboring towns) with Starbucks, a Polaroid(which Kip got at a thrift store with two packs of perfect Polaroid film for $3.50!!! I was upset) and disposable cameras. Kip is, hands down, my favorite person to thrift with. We discovered a crazy cheap second hand store in Nampa and I got myself some new threads.
Kip freaked out over this sign, so we stopped and I took my first polaroid!
We stopped by this drive in movie theatre in Nampa to snap these:
We thought this carwash was pretty so we stopped.
And took pictures of each other: 
And we had to do this:
So this picture could happen:
It was such a delightful day. Kip left a few days ago to go to Seattle for the week before he heads back to school and I miss the diva already. But guess what?! He's visiting me in New York in March? Yay!
Kip listed some lovely pins on the site. They are pretty cute.
I'm heading back out into this glorious weather to do some sketching in colored pencils on the lawn. I'm putting Holly Conlan on repeat and drinking in the sunshine. Her music makes me smile. Her last album was such a part of my life two autumns ago. It's almost painful, but beautiful in that reminiscent way. Her voice is so comfortable to me and I'm especially loving her newer stuff.
Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking and not much of anything else.
I love you.
First. In case you haven't met my friend Kip before, read this post.
Second. Isn't he amazing?!
Third. If you have ever though "Hmmm. I'd like Kara's handwriting on a shirt", today is your day.
Meet what I affectionately call 'K. Haupt for lovely.us'
I like to refer to myself as K. Haupt in third person all the time. All the time!
So go to thelovely and buy my shirt and take advantage of the free shipping until Friday and have yourself a beautiful day.
Also! SWEATSHIRT!!!!!!!!
Also. Kip has the classic logo on grey. And the class logo on white are on sale. (Buy me one while you're at it.)
XOXO.
Today's high was 71. And it was dark. And it was rainy.
And I needed it.
I'm antsy and restless and the summer heat is just too much for me to handle.
Enter Facebook. And Kip.
And yeah.
Kip and I went on a Starbucks/Savers/Forever21/Antique store gorgeousness adventure today. And it was brilliant.
I also got to wear long jeans and a CARDIGAN. Thank you, Jesus. For today.
As Kip would say "PERF."
