mad men

im thinking about getting into mad men. and by thinking i mean i am downloading season 1 and 2 right now. i know nothing about the show, and already keep up with a handful of other shows- but i keep hearing how good it is. i'll give it a try



this picture is pretty badass i guess

the fantastic mr. fox

in case we aren't friends on google, which means you can't read my shared items:



wes anderson doing a stop-motion adaptation of roald dahl's "the fantastic mr. fox". i didn't think so many of my favorite things would ever be in the same sentence.

bobby

so I'm weird and picky about random things, like bobby pins. maybe its because of my time in beauty school, but the drug store kind doesn't cut it. I prefer the professional kind. But, since these are professional they only come in 1 lb increments, meaning 400 bobby pins per pound. I just ordered a box. So, if you need brown bobby pins, you know a girl.

away away

I'm traveling alot this week, and don't have much time for blogging, but I just saw this photo of our trip to the shore (my very first) and I wish I were back there, hanging out on the beach..I can't believe it's soon to be fall!

i definitely

don't have anything to blog about this past week. Things on my mind:

excited for my trip to boston with ryan, and then to LA from there.
can't wait to get my new tattoo.
obsessed with my new netflix thing. i get to watch law and order whenever i want.
got bridesmaid dresses for haley's wedding. i love mine.
ryan got me a book called "flea market style" and im in love.

yeaaaaaaaa

i could use

all the extra love I can get these days..

treasures

I stop into our thrift store pretty regularly, and always find something worth scooping up. I found this set of 6 plates, they look/feel like fiberglass. Also a set of mini nesting heart shaped tins, and 3 mini carafes. yea!

nyc + john's birthday

Lucas and I met up with John in nyc Wednesday for his birthday. I booked us a room at the Ace Hotel, and it didn't disappoint (well except for the people who were in our room before us..they apparently checked out super late, and were smoking, even though its a non smoking facility. they had to fumigate the room, so we didn't get to check-in until way late) Lots of good food, plenty of cupcakes, and lots of fun, i came home exhausted!

the sink in the bathroom at Brown. I like old things like that

Amazing chairs at Moss. I want, I want.

Lucas and I @ brefffast

baked eggs, yummmm

seriously?

I had the house to myself (as i often do these days) this evening and had spent the previous 24 hours running around NYC, so I decided to keep it low key. I watched a movie, then browsed my new selection of tv thanks to digital cable. In doing so, I saw the following commercial, and really just had to laugh..



Vibrating mascara? Really? There have got to be 10 different brands and 30 different kinds of mascara- but VIBRATING? I just can't imagine who thought this was a good idea? I mean, if you've heard my minty gum story- you might think this is ironic coming from me, but Id rather not put a vibrating, electronic device that close to my EYEBALLS. I can't imagine what they'll think of next...

blogity blog

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever, but would you look- it was only yesterday. hah. I haven't been READING blogs in over a week though, and so I'm spending some lovely alone time (while the brownies are baking) catching up on all my blogs. I am love love LOVING this image..


the couch? yes please. the light fixture? mmhmm..the table? the floor? YES!

so excited!

I've been hearing and seeing things about Ace Hotel over the past several months, and am so excited this week to finally get to stay there! What's best is the complimentary breakfast of stumptown coffee, fresh squeezed OJ and croissants. YUM.

reminder

sometimes i need a reminder..

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life...you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse...Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. Philippians 4:6-8
