metals

I've been looking for cute transitional polishes for the fall/winter and I've decided on grays/metals. I would like a dark purple too, but I'll save that for another time. I found this real nice gray polish at Urban Outfitters. I really like this polish! It lasts a pretty long time too [no chips!]. Anyway, I painted the gray on my finger nails and I used my dark sparkly gray on my toesies. The dark gray Lippmann polish reminds me of the new Chanel Soho polish, Steel. Wouldn't you agree???








I also picked up these cute little babies at my last Sephora trip. I think they are great little basic colors for this time of year. I'm such a sucker for mini polishes.





P.S. I am now officially a student at the Graham Webb Academy! Yay!

I just love everything down to her luxurious red cotton candy hair, porcelain skin, and amazing make-up. Oh and don't forget the accessories! Love it! Love it! Love it!

Got this bad boy this weekend with a dolman sleeve sweater and a wool beret at H&M. I also struck gold at a thrift store on Friday. I found myself a brown blazer, a chambray button up, and a super cute rectangle-ish brown leather purse all for 13 bucks. Hell yes. Maybe sometime this week I'll post my new treasures.




My week and weekend were super busy and filled with great movies/documentaries, great friends, scary monsters, and a super romantic candle lit dinner. Tonight, it's dinner with Jason & Liz. I hope you all have a great week!

too hot, lady

It's in the 90's here and I'm about to melt. ::sigh:: What I would do to be out on the water right now...

P.S. Ms. Bardot, I love you

I would die and go to Heaven if I had one of these 1920's inspired swimsuits.

spring flowers

I had the bf drop off a roll of film for me yesterday! On that roll, I took some pictures of the pretty buttercups and wisteria. I'm really hoping that roll comes out okay though. I accidentally left it baking in the hot hot car - eeek. Until I get the results back, I will leave you with some darling Spring pictures that I found on weheartit. I hope you enjoy!

P.S. Finally, it's Thursday!

Oh Eniko, nobody does it better!

I don't know about you all, but I LOVE these seasonal candies. The white and pink ones are my favorite. Yum yum. Here are some conversation heart cakes I found on Ezra Pound Cake[recipe included!].

Did any of you get to watch the Charlie Brown Valentines Day special last night? Oh how I love that boy Charlie Brown!

Violet: Charlie Brown, we've been feeling awfully guilty about not giving you a Valentine this year. Here, I erased my Valentine from this one. I'd like you to have it.
Schroeder: Hold on there! What do you think you're doing? Who do you think you are? Where were you yesterday when everyone else was giving out Valentines? Is kindness and thoughtfulness something you can make retroactive? Don't you think he has any feelings? You and your friends are the most thoughtless bunch I've ever known. You don't care anything about Charlie Brown. You just hate to feel guilty. And now you have the nerve to come around one day later and offer him a used Valentine just to ease your conscience. Well let me tell you something - Charlie Brown doesn't need your -
Charlie Brown: Don't listen to him! I'll take it!

Lucy is so silly yet brilliant.
