Five Things



{New shoe organization means much more space}

I managed to find a relatively good balance between work and play this week. My oldest friend was in town, so I made sure my evenings were free so we could paint our nails while watching movies and make mix CDs. It’s funny that after twenty years of being friends, we still find joy in the same activities we did in elementary school. Here are the other five things that added to my week.



{The crazy view from a family friend’s place in Malibu}



{Assorted international candies for movie night}



{Poppy King for J.Crew – the perfect orange/red lipstick }



{A scarf tied to an unsightly light fixture brightens my closet}

Curly wurly’s are my most favourite chocolate, they remind me of being a little girl.

How on earth did you get Cadbury chocolate in the States?! Its best chocolate ever!

29 Lucy { 08.12.11 at 1:29 am }

How odd that you find those chocolates exciting, they’re so common place in England! Then again I’m blown away by butterfingers bars. If you ever get a chance, try a magic elf.
I’m utterly hooked on this blog!!

I really need to revamp my closet, my poor shoes are all heaped on top of each other! It seems that every time I organize my closet within a month it is all muddled up again and not because I cant keep it neat but because I tend to shop a lot :)

The picture of the candy bars made me smile. I live in England part time and when I’m over there, I always send care packages of all those exact candies to my little niece and nephew in the states. I tried those Milka bars for the first time during a visit to Berlin last May and I brought like 12 of them back for everyone I know. They are wonderful chocolate!

Milka chocolate is my favorite!

132 kelly { 08.12.11 at 8:22 am }

Where did you find Milka in the states!! loveeee those chocolate bars.

133 Ev { 08.12.11 at 8:32 am }

I just recently moved and have an entire bed room that I will use as my closet. I plan to buy garment racks so that my frequent wear clothes are in plain site. The closets in my new place are horrible! So I have to use an entire bedroom! :) What exactly are your shoes on? A bookshelf? I currently have all my shoes in boxes and named. But I like how you have yours set up. let us know! Thanks.

138 Caitlin { 08.12.11 at 9:09 am }

I think this is my favorite 5 things post yet. Shoes are incredible, the view is amazing, and I love the scarf idea. I also did not realize that J.Crew was making lipstick. I guess you learn something new everyday :)

I organize my shoes the same way! Well my heels. Still need to magically gain more space though. Any tips on making that happen?

140 hautepinkpretty { 08.12.11 at 9:13 am }

The sneakpeak of your shoe closet it such a tease!! looks amazing :) now i need to get my hands on some yummy international candies!!

141 Jamie @ snacktress { 08.12.11 at 9:18 am }

Crunchies are my fave! Mmm, honeycomb.

Curlywurlys are my absolute favorite candy. I’ve never even been to England but my friend brought me some home one time, and I’ve been in love ever since!

146 Kristina { 08.12.11 at 9:47 am }

My best friend is coming into town this weekend! You really do transport through time when old friends come back – going to the same coffee shops, restaurants, etc as you did in high school!

Love your five things! Friends like that are the best. It’s funny how you think you’ll get older and be so mature and “grown up” but then as you age, you are basically the same person and always young at heart! Sounds like a perfect night! The scarf is a great idea. Take pics of the new lipstick and enjoy the candies!

I love the time you take to acknowledge the things that added to your week. I need to find my own way to do this, too. Isn’t “oldest friend time” the most refreshing kind of time?

159 Cristina { 08.12.11 at 10:59 am }

First of all, I love Milka! Second of all, you should really raffle off your shoe collection :) I’ll help for a few pairs of shoes as payment <3
