Paper Crown

I think it's fair to say that I'm in love with this new line. Each piece is romantic, chic, and a definite staple for anyone's wardrobe [love, love, and love]. And I even love the description of it, "a collection for those who like to play dress up in a grown up world." Sigh, doesn't that alone just make you want to buy every piece? I had to limit myself to only put 3 pictures up, so be sure to check out the rest of the looks here.

modern "mod"

Well I haven't been in town for the last ten days, but it looks like Molly has done a truly terrific job posting. Cheers to Molly!

Now to my first post in probably two weeks...

If you do not already know, we love Blake Lively (seen here). And our prediction that "she will blossom more in 2011" as a fashion icon is (drum roll please...) correct. While walking through a super busy airport, something beautiful caught my eye. Sure enough, it was this month's edition of Glamour Magazine, which featured the ever-stunning Blake Lively. I immediately bought it.

Her mod vibe seemed flawless from head to toe (to cute little puppy).

So a new wave of inspiration has flooded over me... 60's mod/glamour. What do you think?

Picture Perfect

On Wednesday I made a list of all the things that were making me really happy. I figured today it would be fun to add pictures to words, you know, just because.

The fact that it is officially summer.

The invention of sporks.

Pictures of Paris.

Really sappy quotes that I still fall in love with.

Guys named Bill.

Enjoy! And let us know what makes you happy.

Turn That Frown Upside Down

A few weeks ago my boredom and inability to go to sleep at a normal hour led me to one of the happiest and brightest blogs I've ever seen. Katie Sokoler, the master of paper and street art, is the writer of this joyful blog called Color Me Katie. She basically shares really happy things that she makes and sees in her life. What I love most is her fun and colorful pictures that serve as an instant pick-me-up to any bad day. I dare you not to check it out.

Here's to Happiness

 I've decided that the next few days will be dedicated to all things happy and bright and joyous. As you may have read in Monday's post, the past week or so hasn't been the best. For now that stuff is behind me, and to keep it there I've made a list of things that are currently making me happy:

-The fact that I don't have work for the next two days. 

-Strangers with accents that call you 'love.'

-Chocolate. Ghiradelli milk & caramel, to be exact.

-My big hound dog who greets me when I get home at night.

-Loving neighbors who trust you to drive their cars.

-The fact that it is officially summer.

-When really good songs get stuck on replay in your head.

-Get rich quick schemes. Although they never work.

-Absurdly bright and cliche pajama pants.

-People who are completely content with who they are.

-The invention of text messaging.

-The invention of sporks.

-Pictures of Paris.

-Musicals.

-Babies.

-A photo of me and my brother when we were youngins.

-Really sappy quotes that I still fall in love with.

-Footprints on the wall from where I prop up my feet.

-Guys named Bill.

-People with mullets.

-Hair that always seems to be knotty.
-Really big TV remotes and shiny red staplers.
-Really bad impressions.
-Air conditioning.

-Lists.

-You, if you're still reading this.

I think I'll stop now. It's time to curl up in bed and watch Fame. But tell me, what's making you happy right now?

C'est La Vie

Feeling rather uninspired today... actually rather exhausted. Again, apologies for the lack of posts in the past few days, Anna is on vacation and I've been dealing with crazy drama, so it's been a rough few days! A huge storm hit on Saturday night and a tree fell over in my backyard, taking out a chunk of my house. Oh, and a tree branch smashed the windshield of my car. I don't mean to complain-because things could be way worse-but it's just been a rough week. That's all I can really say. I think it's time for a nap!
