First things first—yes, Jade and Fern has a new look!
I was long overdue for a blog redesign and I finally got it together and bought one of Blogzilla’s gorgeous themes. The work isn’t done yet, there are some tweaks and a logo to come, but I’m already so pleased with the revamp.
So why the radio silence? My week so far:
- I lost my only pair of glasses. I don’t know which is worse, that everything (and most of all my computer screen) is slightly fuzzy, or that Alan keeps making lame jokes like “Can you even SEE me?! Do you even know who I AM?!”
- Alan and I celebrated his 30th birthday and our six-year anniversary over a fancy vegan meal with even fancier vegan ice cream. Yes, our first date was on his birthday, and even back then he knew the way to my heart was through my stomach, the charmer.
- After seven long years, I’m finally going back to Germany! In April! Much of my blog negligence this week was due to shopping for airfares and planning out my trip. So many relatives to see! So much food to consume!
- I got a migraine. Most likely because of a combination of giddy excitement and fuzzy vision.
- AND I’ve been planning my involvement in…

I promise I have posts and content and whatnot in the works, but for now I’m off to shop for glasses. You know, so that I can actually see what I’m doing.
Marlene you spelled every word wrong on that post. Cant you even see what you are typing???
Look at what I have to put up with, you guys! Six years of relentless teasing. <3
Haha! Happy birthdayversary!!! Can’t wait to see your new frames! xoxo
Thank you lady! Can’t wait to get some…
The blog looks great! I have been obsessing over this pale pink hue lately, so, as usual, you and I are on the same page. Nice work!
And that old saying, the one about how when a boy teases you it means he likes you? I think it’s still true, even when we are all 30. =)
You are so right! Especially when the boy is an Irish boy. 🙂
Thank you dear! I love it. Although on my monitor it reads as more grey than pink? But either way, Blogzilla is the best!
You have all my sympathy on the lost glasses crisis. When I don’t have mine on, although I can make out body shapes…nobody has a face! Like a really creepy sci-fi film. As far as reading goes, I can’t even make out the giant “E” at the top of the eye chart. (I just know it’s an “E” from years of experience.):-)
Yikes! My prescription isn’t that strong, but it’s bad enough that I really should be wearing them. My pretty clear frames, gone forever!
The new blog design looks awesome, Marlene! Sounds like it was a (mostly) good, but busy week. I’m happy you had a great birthdayversary and am so excited for you that you’re going back to visit Germany soon! I hope you get some new glasses ASAP!
XOXO

Aww, thank you Becca! I ordered a pair through Lookmatic yesterday–hopefully they arrive fast (and fit!).
xoxo!
Loving the revamp so far, can’t wait to see your new logo! Have a great time in Germany! Dresen is one of my favorite cities if you have time 🙂
Thank you Rachel! I like Dresden too, though my favorites are Heidelberg (where I was born) and Leipzig (where I studied for a year). Very excited to see my family!
