Posts from — September 2008

I consider myself to be a true morning person. Here are some of the reasons why:

-I’ve never once hit the snooze button
-In fact, I almost rarely sleep with an alarm, and if I do, I’m up before it goes off
-Mornings are when I’m most productive, happy and energetic

…that was until yesterday. My coffee tasted like mud, I forgot to pack my lunch, meetings kept overlapping one after another and before I knew it, I was in desperate need of a nap. Since curling up in a ball under my desk wasn’t exactly appropriate, I found solace in these images of places that would be just right for a quick little cat nap.

All the neutral tones in this cozy living room are ideal for creating a relaxing environment with a great collection of super soft throws and pillows.

There’s something so incredible about falling asleep in the late afternoon sun. I’d love to stretch out on this wide lounger with a light blanket.

Falling asleep in the shade of grape vines seems like such a luxurious way to rest.

I would never choose this decor for my actual bedroom, but I can’t help but imagine the fairy tale-esque dreams I’d have in this girly nook.

Where is your ideal location for a great nap?

The ridiculously talented Joanna, of Smitten, asked me to contribute my most awkward dating experience. Check it out here!

No matter how many times I rummage through my boyfriend’s side of the closet in hopes of finding oversized shirts to convert into dresses, they never fit just right. That’s why when I found Lark & Wolff by Steven Alan’s Shirt Dress (which is now on sale online), it was exactly what I was looking for. With masculine details in the button sleeves and in a fabric that mimics a men’s oxford shirt, it’s balanced by a delicate neckline and a short hem that I’ll wear with cream colored tights once the weather cools down a bit.

Also, I’ve been asked to write a guest post on one of my favorite blogs, The Lil Bee, today so please check it out!

Urban Outfitters shirt dress, Banana Republic braided belt, vintage boots and bracelet, Essie Over the Top nail polish.

As some of my fantastic readers may have noticed, I finally got around to giving my site a much-needed face lift.  I think you’ll find that it’s much more organized and easy to read and I’d love to hear any feedback.

Hope you’re all having a great weekend!
