fizzy bubbles



These Champagne Earrings are lacy and pretty, named after my beloved bubbly, and remind me of my broken $8 street earrings from my first trip to NYC.

Happiness



Yesterday I came across the Happiness Project, one woman's challenge to lead a happier life. She has 12 commandments for herself and I think my favorite is number 12:

There is only love.
"This commandment was inspired by a friend who took a job where she knew she’d have a difficult boss. From the beginning, she told herself, “There is only love.” She doesn’t allow herself to criticize her boss, even in her own mind, and won’t listen to anyone else’s criticism. She says it’s tough to do, but it has made her job far easier."

My mother taught me this growing up and I think lately I have forgotten what a powerful solution it is. Now I can't wait to try out The Happiness Toolbox!

I want to cover an entire wall with Flapperdoodle drawings. They are so 1920's FABULOUS!

I am in love with Belladonna and the Wolf's Flickr Photostream. I adore the dreamy colors and scenes and cute photo titles.

Tied up to a lasso?

I love this lariat by The BeSide on Etsy.
So pretty, so lonely...

Maybe I want to live on a farm in the middle of a big city...is that too much to ask?

i want to step on you



Why, yes, I would love a ridiculously white expensive rug to go in my white box of an apartment. The positive/negative fits me perfectly.

Really?


It's raining again, really? Give me a break. The only good news is that I find the rainy icon at Kurtli far more interesting than our usual partly cloudy.

skirt crush



This tulip skirt from madelinewood is the perfect mix of quirky and classic. It's just a little bit off. That's how I like my fashion. I want the whole outfit.
