i love this picture, yes, because this chica’s outfit is so retro-wonderful and she is sooooo absolutely adorable… but really i love it so so so much because it reminds me of my best friend britt.

it’s the long hair and the tiny skirt and the funky-fab look and the tomboyish-sexy that just epitomizes bettina. (her God-given name is Brittny Suzanne Flint, but I call her everything in the world but that…unless i’m making a very serious point)

i knew i couldn’t post this pic without talking about my b since our 7-year anni is coming up this halloween. she walked into the dining hall at notre dame one saturday our freshman year complaining that she hadn’t had a single drop of fun (or alcohol) since she had gotten there and wanted to transfer to usc. suffice it to say after a few encouraging words (and a couple of green apple smirnoff cocktails), brittny was there to stay.

all these years later i am still literally blown away by how much our friendship continues to grow and how i keep falling in love with this hilarious, gorgeous little thing every damn day.

happy anniversay, bb.

xoxo.
