yes please

anyone else totally swoon when they got the march catalog from anthropologie? between the clothes and the jamaican landscape i was totally in love before i opened to page one. 

this look happens to be one of my favorites. the pants are a perfect touch, don't you think?

ahh, the fashion of spring. certainly adds a little somethin' somethin' to the season...

sweet sounds

it's not that i never joined the adele bandwagon when her first album 19 came out a couple years ago, i just obviously didn't know what i was missing. it wasn't until i got a text message from my brother last week that said i HAD to check out her new album that i was convinced i had to have it.

adele's new album, 21, is fabulous. any addition description would just ruin it. it's honest, fun, truthful, soulful...the list goes on and on.

this track, "i'll be waiting" is number 8 on the album and perhaps my favorite.

anyone else got her cd on constant repeat in the car?

march forth...it's a sentence and a date

i was at work today, folding as per usual, when i got a pleasant surprise. on of my coworkers popped by! d is getting married tomorrow and decided that 8:30 the night before was an appropriate time to shop for wedding shoes for her super adorable fiance whose shoes she decided were not quite right. so typical it's perfect. 

she came in so happy. not at all nervous or bridezilla-esque. ready to go in sparkly gold heels (to match the belt of her little black dress of course) there was a spark to her for sure. 

as a couple they were super cute. totally one of those couples that compliment each other's personalities. and i can just sense that they have a lot of fun together. in sixty years they will still be cute and cracking each other (or at least me) up. 

so here's to you two. cheers to a happy life full of fun and unconditional love. 

the sky's the limit. enjoy the ride. 

i love a happy ending!!

if only...

i love the beginning of spring. i mean, not really because the weather is bipolar and people in the virginia beach wear flip-flops way too early. but i ADORE the fashion. the influx of new spring lines. i'm welcoming magazines and website updates. 

when the new j.crew magazine arrived, it was a good day. i really love these pants. i'm not sure i could pull them off. but, i will insist that everyone i know have a pair. the high waist, the ankle length. perfection. 

the shoes aren't bad either. :)

to wear or not to wear?? what do you think?

and the oscar goes to...

one of the best things about oscar night is the fashion...i mean, let's be real, it's a huge part of what everyone is talking about the day and weeks after. so last night has come to a pleasant close and now what everyone wore is the hot topic. 

here are my favorites (seriously, anne hathaway's lavin tux...SHUT UP). mila, cate, anne and hailee. classic chic with oscar night flare. so wonderful. 

any other stand outs that i should add to the list? 

good to be king...

it was a tough struggle to see who would surface as the academy's choice for best picture, but last night all bets were settled as steven spielberg announced the winner. 

it seems that it remains good to be king. 

the film also won best actor, best director, and original screenplay. 

and can i just say i am so in LOVE with colin firth? i love him in this movie, love the way he talks about his wife, and fell in love with him in his last movie (which got him an oscar nod as well). 

was last night a good one for your favorite?
