j u l y

I am a lazy blogger as of late. It's been FOUR WEEKS since my last post. Seriously? Where did July go? I'm also not feeling very inspired/artistic/creative/<insert something that is not the word tired here> lately. Saying that I'm not feeling tired would be a horrible falsification. I'm exhausted. I... Continue reading

stars and stripes

I pretty across-the-board dislike stars but I more than make up for it with my love of stripes. This bag is only $10!! I want to buy up a hundred and just hand them out to strangers that look like they're having a bad day for the colors are so... Continue reading

busy birdie

Vintage Bird Pillow Sham || $29 I want this pillowcase. And some free time to blog. I keep finding things I want to write about but I've been so exhausted with work/life lately, I have been bad about actually getting around to posting them. How great would this ice cream... Continue reading

bawlmer, merlin

I spent the weekend in Baltimore with my three sisters. My third sister just moved there for graduate school so we got together to see the house that she and her husband just bought and to see the city. I’ve lived in the mid-Atlantic for almost a decade now and... Continue reading

peach basil sangria

When I made this recipe from Gourmet the first time, it was an instant hit with my guests. The second time, I accidentally added too much sugar and it was still a hit, albeit a little more dessert-wine than dinner-wine, so I know this is a quality recipe. I'm not... Continue reading

Pixies Summer Dress || $175, Tano Native Tongue, Mystique 3574 || $125 I'm going away this weekend with my two best friends for a joint birthday celebration. The forecast is h o t and I'm wishing I had a small, over-the-shoulder bag like this one to throw on with a... Continue reading

stomach bug

I've had the stomach bug since Friday. I tried unsuccessfully to put a few posts together over the weekend but obviously they never got finished. Today was horribly busy and exhausting so this are all I have for you: We Are Connected || $35 Continue reading

pink stripes and red bumps

I know my body well enough to know that this dress would look good on me only about 4% of the time. The 4% of time where I might have eaten a light dinner the night before, ingested zero salt the past week and miraculously hit the ever-elusive goal of... Continue reading

bang bang (my baby shot me down)

The Italian Love Bandit || $6 I really need to start buying larger art. I have an inclination for small prints, partially because they are more affordable than originals but also because I like being able to mix and match smaller pieces around my apartment. But now I have so... Continue reading

memorial day = no blogging

I have been a delinquent blogger as of late. My day job is getting ridiculously busy and I spent the holiday weekend doing not much else than sleeping, relaxing and eating. Lots and lots of eating. Going into work today for a "half day" to get some end-of-the-month things done... Continue reading

love is in all things a most wonderful teacher

Opening her eyes again, and seeing her husband's face across the table, she leaned forward to give it a pat on the cheek, and sat down to supper, declaring it to be the best face in the world. [Our Mutual Friend :: Charles Dickens] Swing Print || $25 I am... Continue reading

sleeping porch

I have a very romanticized idea of sleeping porches. I don't even think I've ever slept in one but the logical part of me thinks they are probably drafty. I think this looks like a particularly wonderful one, although I don't understand why porch chairs are always so uncomfortable. I... Continue reading

dozens of acres and i want a window

A few days ago I stumbled upon this post from Design*Sponge and I thought it was very cool but didn't give too much thought into it. But now I can't get these pretty images from my mind: Window Farming is a movement to give people ways in urban ways a... Continue reading

i don't think the eggplant should be that burnt

I tried out some new recipes tonight and surprisingly the one I was least excited about blew my taste buds away. I pretty much despise eggplant usually. Every time I've had it, it's been bland or chewy and neither of those things are typically traits I look for in my... Continue reading

in safe hands

In Safe Hands || $40 I love this. It's so gentle and of course, since it involves a bird - I adore it. Check out the other prints by this artist, Shirae. All the colors she uses are so calming while still being vivid and rich. Blossom || $20 Continue reading
