guilty pleasure

i don't have a big jewelry selection by any means but i do have a huge weakness for fun cocktail rings. for a simple girl such as myself, a cocktail ring is an easy way to add interest to a casual outfit or add some glitter to a night out ...

word block

it's not very often that i am at a lack for words in regards to my work {or life in general, now that i think about it} but indeed it happens and i am left staring at the ceiling waiting for the perfect catch phrase or segue to pop into my head. i think i will blame my lack of inspiration on the fact that i haven't read a fiction novel in quite some time.  my favorite book of ALL time is Le Petite Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. I cry at the end every time and have a fleeting hope that there truly is a prince on asteroid B612 {if you haven't read the book then i imagine that this sounds rather nuts..}

a teacher of mine in junior high gave me my first copy of le petite prince but i never even read it until years later. {i'm so glad i did - thank you mrs. corn!}

if ever you are lacking inspiration, i highly recommend grabbing a copy of le petite prince!

or even better, this pop-up book from anthro that i've been eyeing...

caldrea

believe me, i don't spend much time coveting cleaning products but i've been wanting to get a few products from caldrea. we use their stuff at work and i love the smell and the packaging {again, perhaps silly} but if you have to clean you may as well jazz it up any way that you can!

unfamiliar territory

so i bought my first whisk this past weekend... i know, it's sad.  i can't bake {or cook} to save my life.  fortunately, i was with someone who can! and we had a heck of a time and made some wonderful food {real food!}

it was glorious.

now i find myself dreaming about kitchen accessories that i need {want} to complete my kitchen because of course i'm going to be the next best pastry chef. . . or maybe i'll stick to reading the directions and chopping things when i'm told {baby steps}

until then, maybe some cute measuring spoons? i think i can handle that at least...

home stretch

the lease on my current apartment is almost up (okay so it's actually three months out...) and so i'm getting excited about moving and thinking about all the wonderful things i'm going to do (or wish i could do) with my next place...

a girl can dream.

about an all white bathroom...

classy bed clothes from anthro...

chalkboard paint for chronic list makers (such as myself)...

and wallpaper that makes you day dream.

i love this dress

hopefully one day soon i'll actually start sewing (i should start by taking the machine out of the box...)

but in the meantime i LOVE this dress and would equally love to create something like it someday

(thank you marie claire and isaac mizrahi for this eye candy)
