a saturday song...video of the week

.

there is something about this song that oozes weekend loveliness. it makes me want those faded jeans and a bike ride on an old southern dirt road.

just another song i like to sing to at the top of my lungs.

AHHHH!!!!!


AHHHH!!! ok, ok, so i know that there have been a ton of posts recently on fashion pictures. but tis the season of early spring, so sometimes you just have to throw up your hands and "c'est la vie!"

i was checking my email only to find a sneak peak into the world of bhldn, anthropologie's new line of wedding loveliness. with these pictures, i am so glad to be single because my wedding will certainly include this lace. and gloves! way to bring back some class. elegance. 

i'm totally having an audrey hepburn moment. 

the official opening is february 14 so be on the look out for my clips on that (you know i'll be on that like white to wedding dress). 

i am just so excited. i could use some timeless luxury in my life.

i want to be her!


in my wildest dreams i don't look this good. this is the most exotic, beautiful woman and outfit i may have ever seen. 

and can we please discuss the turban? i SO want to be able to rock that look. i don't think i could pull it off (not that cool)...does anyone have any good ideas on how to make it work?

maybe i could do a really thick headband. 

i want to be her. 

swoon.

what bobby found

my brother sent me a link to one of his new favorite places. a spot for minimalist design. bobby is a architectural fiend. a lover of all things design and space, he is always aware of where he is and the space surrounding him. 

i really enjoyed his find and thought i just thought i had to pass it along. the lighting section is marvelous and super chic. 

i'm going to continue to post new finds from this fun discovery. for the moment enjoy the clock. 

the website states: Soft Clock designed by Myznik Egor helps us to reconsider time as a non-stop rush and allows admiring every minute. Soft Clock is rather an incessantly twisting art-object than a proper instrument for time measurement. This futuristic timepiece may be of any form and color.

sounds completely like something i would love.

new find!


if you flirt with the blogosphere of style, fashion, and lifestyle these days you might have found what i did. there is a lot of talk about etsy. i've been on a couple of times, but never been as obsessed as other people i've heard about. until now. 

i first heard about just a little ditty through cramer photo. i found the photos so endearing i had to learn more. one thing led to another and i just really want one! they are adorable. and i have so much crap (as i've previously mentioned) i could always use a little bag. plus, there is something romantic about a special bag for special things. 

so now i'm online shopping always making sure that this one is always there. it's both bright and cheery and yet also, owl eyes are a little dark and twisty, which is perfect for me.

happy shopping!

anyone else have etsy obsessions?
