in looking

for a new apartment, is it bad that a nice bathtub is high on my list of priorities?


i've got something like this in mind...

something about

these flats speak to me.
love the muted color. the perforations. the lace tie.

desperately want

to see this:



p.s. today was a considerably brighter day than i've had in a while. hallelujah.

can you

tell i am utterly swamped with:
- schoolwork
- work work
- bar application
- sister's wedding

what. a. mess.

i have no doubt that this little guy would cheer me up quite nicely:

this would

look so wonderful in a walk-in closet...

very appropriate

“Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted.”

so true

definitely need to remind myself of this every now and again...

oh zara

you're so good to me.
it's true, whenever i go into your store, i have to deal with annoying, squealing teeny boppers who are too grown up for their own good.


and i have to hunt through some serious crap with too many ruffles or cut oddly.

but eventually, if i am patient enough, i can find goodies like this.

thank you.

as someone

still grappling with the notion of dressing for work as a grown up, i really appreciate nordstrom's new 9-5 presentation of work appropriate clothes.


i'll probably look for the equivalent pieces at the thrifty, but still. it's nice to be able to start with inspiration.

see more looks here.

i would

NEVER have dreamed that talbots would ever tempt me.and then julianne moore (+ some new styles) came along.

brilliant move.

where's the nearest talbots?

not only

is this floor amazing...but the oval table just took my breath away.


and so commences the hunt. where can i found such a gorgeous table?

i have

to say.

forget the clothes and shoes and the accessories and the products.

they're wonderful and fun, but they all pale in comparison...


i think nature is the ultimate symbol of beauty.

not exactly

style related.

but oh so what i needed to see today...

who knows why that baby thinks ripping paper is so hilarious.



then again, who really cares why when a baby laughs like that? it's delightful.

at least

for me, a dog is the ultimate cure-all.


for all those who disagree with me, you are missing out. big time.

tom ford

certainly knows how to make a fragrance look appealing.


his new, very exclusive perfume has notes of two types of lavender, lemon, bergamot and clary sage. sounds delish.

at up to $950 (!!!) for the 950 ml bottle, i don't think i'll be springing for this anytime soon. plus it's only available in beverly hills. i would just like to take a whiff though!
