Five Things

February 18th, 2011

{My growing collection of patterned skirts (the striped one seen here)}

We’re supposed to have a rain-filled weekend, and I’ve done my best to prepare so that I barely have to leave the house. The kitchen’s stocked, I loaded up on jewelry-making supplies and am hosting a pajama party that includes breakfast, mimosas and movies. I plan to venture out solely for good food and perhaps the Barneys Warehouse sale, which hopefully won’t disappoint. It was definitely a long week, so I’m particularly thrilled the weekend’s arrived. Here are five little things currently making me happy.

{Favorite new soup (recipe here) that’s full of flavor and super healthy}

{A little lacy gift that’s too pretty to keep in a drawer}

{K Chocolatier‘s Chocolate balls filled with whiskey. Best. Idea. Ever.}

{Materials to make a new (and very simple) necklace}

Where did you get that pretty door hook? I love girly touches like that for a room. Anthropologie is always a good start..is this one of their creations?

I’m becoming a little obsessed by your blog, I passed two entire days reading it from the first to the last post. your style is amazing and you look so sweet in every single photos and your recipe are so delicious. I love the idea of a “top five things” and I decided to it also in my blog. I also wrote a post about you and your house forniture, if you wanna see it come visit my blog even if it’s only in italian.

I don’t know if you get a chance to read all of the comments, much less on old posts but I have the striped skirt on the left and love it just as much as you do AND just got a née version of it at Anthro the other day. Its the same exact cut but with a neutral ethnic-y print that reminds me somehow of a Keith Herring painting. You should check it out!

New version is what I meant to say

Chocolate and whiskey- two of my favorite things! Sad that I couldn’t find those on their website, though
