is it that easy?

I found this Martha Stewart image via Bliss and I am totally intrigued.

Can I really just tie a ribbon around my foot before I put my flats on and have it look this cute? Will the ribbon actually stay as neat and tidy as it looks? It's so pretty and easy! But will it work in real life?

virtual housewarming

Happy Housewarming Rae! I had grand plans to send you these flowers and then I looked at my bank statement and came crashing back to reality. So, until my reality is more than a question mark, here are some virtual flowers to celebrate your new home. Yay fall!

I'm REALLY excited about the baked potato I'm eating for dinner tonight.

Really. Excited.

(thank you Flickr for making me even more excited with this photo)

Hope your dinner is yummy tonight!

Humor me.

I'm in an unusually chipper mood this morning, so you'll have to forgive the hokey song lyric quote. But isn't it a nice reminder, really?

I'm first!

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo to illustrate this post yet, but I want to be the first in the blogosphere to declare how unbelievably, breathtakingly fabulous the new Draper living room is. When my roommate and I saw those new black and white high backed armchairs we both squealed with glee.

I've given my props to Mad Mens costume designers. Now it's time to acknowledge the set designers: Well done.. Please send me the specs ASAP!

let me count the ways

Dear J.Crew,

No one makes my heart sing more than you do. Let's be best friends forever.

P.S. Give me that lip stain that model is wearing.

 

completely unsuitable

These $200 leather over-the-knee boots are:

1. Completely unsuitable for someone as height-challenged as myself.
2. Completely unsuitable for someone as vegan as myself.
3. Completely unsuitable for someone with a $0 boot budget.

... but they sure are pretty. Rae, I give you permission to fulfill my over-the-knee boot tall girl dreams.

it's here!

Happy First Day of Fall!

My mom was an adorable kid!

It is completely wrong that the things that stand out most to me in this photograph are the stars on her jeans and her cute gray puff shoes.
