March 30, 2012 - Friday Favorites

I am a big Star Wars nerd in a not so big body, so today's picks are all about one of my favorite movies. (Well, I guess it would be three favorite, unless you count the newer ones; making it six. Okay, I'm getting lost in my own thought now, so enjoy!)

May the force be with you.

1. I don't think that I have ever actually bought anything from Williams-Sonoma, but this would make a wonderful first purchase. (Source)
2. If my bathroom were tiled this way, I totally would take a million showers a day just to admire how cool this is! (Source)
3. Judith, in San Francisco, uses a vintage Star Wars sheet to make this darling dress. It's so hard to find girly Star Wars clothing and this is just perfect! (Source)
4. Kara, in NYC, totally pimped out her Toms and I have to say that I might be jealous. (Source)

March 27, 2012 - It May Not Be Winter Anymore...

...but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a nice jar of hot chocolate with marshmallows! 

It's one of my simple pleasures in life - to drink from a jar. Not sure why I like it so much but it's definitely on my list of things that bring me joy.

It's Spring! I am still having trouble spring forward but at least we are in one of my favorite seasons. Yippie!

Today's lot is inspired by all the picnics and frolicking to come...

1. Stripes can be tricky but I think this dress did a great job keeping it classy. I think it just may join my wardrobe. (Source)

2. I am planning on redecorating my studio/office space and this would be a wonderful addition. (Source)

3. It's already sold but I still love it. The colors are so cheery and the design is so clean. (Source)

4. Now I am not a fan of healthy per se BUT I love the idea of having your pasta salad ready to go in a jar. Glass jars, yes! That I am a sucker for. (Source)

Today's picks are just in time to get you ready for St. Patty's Day.

1. How cute and comfy do these look? (Source) 

2. I'm a sucker for polka dots. With that green pencil skirt on, you run a risk of getting pinched; in a good way. (Source)
3. This is something I would love to have hanging on my wall. I think I shall make this and put it in my studio. (Source)
4. Who needs McDonald's when you can just make your own shamrock shake? Yum. (Source)

March 14, 2012 - WonderPup

WonderPup was so fun and adorable! Lots of great doggie art and I can't even tell you how many CUTE doggies were at the show; big ones, small ones, shaggy ones, and short-haired ones!

There was also delicious treats and of course Mug Shots were taken before the night was over.

I'm so glad it was a great turnout for Leanna's first benefit show!

Here Genevieve (Le Petit Elefant) and I are with our pieces (more or less)

This is a close up of my piece for the show. 

March 6, 2012 - Friday Favorites

Today's collection of Favorites make me think of the 1950s. Enjoy!

1. Oh my gosh! Who says you can only have s'mores when you go camping!?! I am so looking forward to trying this recipe! (Source)
2. I love retro fashions. THis dress would totally make me feel and act like a lady indeed. (Source)
3. How coooooool is this?!? I have a massive camera collection and not all of them are in working condition. What a clever way to make use of some of them right? (Source)
4. I am going to try (try being the operative word) to make this at some point. I am in love with it though. (source) 

Nail Art: Roses

This is a design that I have been wanting to do for quite a bit but never had the proper colors to execute it. Until now...

It turned out to be easier that I thought you just need a stead hand, especially when it came time to do the right hand.

Friday Favorites

There are so many things that I see during the week that are fantastic. So starting today I am going to post my weekly findings on my blog calling it (drum roll please)....

FRIDAY FAVORITES!

The idea is to include a food, clothing, home and accessory item. These are just things that tickle my fancy.

Enjoy!

1. Bunting is a great cake topper. Simple but oh so festive. (Source)
2. I am in love with this dress. The color and the collar are my favorite part. (Source)
3. This clutch is pretty adorable. The best part, it expands when you open it up AND it has a strap for when you get too tired of carrying it. LOVE! (Source)
4. I am going to do this one for sure! Take printed paper and wrap your books -- GENIUS! Why I never did this in grade school I will never know. (Source)

Ding Dong...

Oh my goodness I got the BEST delivery today...CHOCOLATE! My aunt, who lives in Canada, sent my sister and me a massive box containing a whole lotta sweetness. I've already eaten one Kinder bar. What? I couldn't help it.

These definitely take me back to when I was studying abroad in Paris. Swoon.
