Five Things

January 28th, 2011

{My ban.do heart that I attached to my mirror}

This week took it out of me.  While nothing catastrophic happened by any means, I was just off.  Luckily I have a weekend filled with fun plans, including a board game night with friends, some beach time and wine tasting on Sunday.  Sometimes it just takes a few simple activities to lift you right out of a funk. Have a great weekend!

{My fiancé surprised me with these animal head shot glasses (seen here)}

{DIY mani/pedi in Essie’s “Tart Deco and “Fifth Avenue”}

{Some of my favorite guilty pleasure movies that I plan on watching}

    Second time today I saw a reference to Amelie. Kind of strange since it’s an old movie…maybe I should take it as a sign, since I’m still in flux with the baby name project?! Cute, cute Essies, btw:) xx

    I loved the ban.do heart. I went to the website.I am getting
    some hearts from there for Valentine’s day. I am a big fan of
    Valentine’s day. I saw you mentioned on of you blogs the
    Urth Caffe. I order all my coffee from there.

    You should change to O.P.I Nail colours! The colors are gorge and holds much longer than Essie, Essie shades also tend to look different when painted in comparison to the palette shown in the boutique..

    I love your style though, xx

    I just want to Let you know, I seriously love your blog.
    I first looked you up after seeing your article in teen vogue about the coach purse. I was immediately in love with your bag design, and considering it was unfortunately out of my price range, I soon fell in love with the closest thing, your blog. I had never posted a comment before, but decided that I had to when I realized that I too was wearing Essie’s “Tart Deco” as I read the post. Great minds think alike!
    Great job and good luck!

    Omg I LOVE Amelie! And Across the Universe :)

    I really like like it when people admit they have off days weeks, its more human, we don’t live in a disney film! And its always nice to know how others get themselves out of a funk. I like your blog because you do a lot of interiors stuff too & DIY…& you demonstrate well how you do things ;)
