Five Things

January 6th, 2012

{The most dangerous gift ever – Rachel‘s homemade caramel sauce}

The first week after the new year always feels abrupt and cold. The holiday spirit dissipates so quickly – replaced by people’s need to return to their hurried and hectic lives. I’m attempting to savor the last bits of the season – slowly making my way through the last of homemade confections, admiring my new bracelets (my mom made me the gold cuff by melting jewelry that belonged to my grandparents), and spending time with friends over long meals. Have a great weekend.

    I think someone already asked, but I too am curious as to where you obtained the gold mirror. It’s gorgeous.

  • Emily

    Thanks, Anna! The mirror is a vintage find from a local flea market.

  • Amy

    those skirts like the one from zara are so “in” right now. I have it in a brown colour with white polka dots on it and love it. Have yet to wear it thought =( But the weather’s too cold, even for me
