Show Me What I'm Looking For.


I just love this song. So I thought I would share it with all of you. 


Hope your Hump Day is treating you well so far!

Weekend Wisdom.

Woops, it's almost the end of Tuesday...I really need to get better about posting my Weekend Wisdom right when the week is over. However, since my weekend extended into yesterday, I think I have an excuse. You should just probably agree with me. Anyway, on to things I have learned this weekend:


1.)  Seeing a show like Mary Poppins makes you feel like a kid again, and also makes the rest of the day have a light-hearted mood. Just try and be sad when you have "just a spoonful of sugar..." stuck in your head.
2.) Margaritas are delicious. Especially when added to a large burrito. My perfect Friday night.
3.) Taking advantage of being near NYC makes me happy. 
4.) Every weekend should be three days long.

Not an exciting weekend, I know. But that's all folks!

P.S. One of my all-time favorite authors has had her first book turned into a movie, and I literally almost peed my pants when I saw this trailer. I've read this book at least 4 times, and the casting looks perfect. Girls: you will love this book, and from the looks of it, this movie as well.

That's all for tonight! Hopefully I'll perk up a bit as the week goes on and I'll come back with something more exciting.

Happy Friday!

Phew, what a long week it's been. Anyone else feel like that too? I think between trying to recover from my trip last weekend, and work ramping up in a big way this week, it's been a hard one.  However, it is finally Friday, and a long weekend for me! Yay for having Monday off.

To finish off this week, here are just some things that have caught my eye lately: 

I just love the colors in this photo. SPRING is coming, and so are bright colors. 

This was taken in Milan, Italy. I know because when I studied abroad there, I would walk through this high-end Galleria during breaks in classes and on weekend shopping trips. I miss this place...and I NEED this entire outfit. So chic and Milanese. I love it. 
 From ¨Le petit prince¨. "On ne voit bien qu'avec la coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux".  It says: ¨It is only with the heart that one sees rightly. What’s essential is invisible to the eye.¨ 
I would never get a tattoo, but I absolutely love this quote.

Long weekend = lots of reading time! Next on my list are these two new purchases. I need some chick-flick reading after my last intense James Patterson novel.

The weather was finally nice enough to wear my new flats that I got for Christmas! Lovely weather + new shoes = a good day.

Anyone have any exciting weekend plans? I have a margarita and Mexican date with a co-worker tonight that we cannot wait for. This place in my town is awesome. Then, hopefully some DIY projects on Saturday, and some city time on Sunday! 

Also, have you checked out my new ABOUT section at the top of the blog?

I hope everyone has a wonderful, and relaxing weekend!

I Can't Shop So I Do This...

Etsy Lust List.

So, I've put myself on a shopping freeze. It's drastic, I know. However, between buying my computer, going a little crazy with Christmas gifts (and during the after Christmas sales...woops) my bank account has been looking dismal. Sigh. I want something new and pretty. 

I'M GOING TO BE STRONG THOUGH.

However, did I mention that the shopping freeze was only limited to clothing? And, only extends until....well, I haven't thought of an ending date yet. My guess, it wont last too much longer. 

This brings me to what I've been obsessing over lately: things I can hang on walls. There are so many pretty prints I want to by for my apartment walls, and even to decorate my cubicle! Here are some I've been eyeing:

Whatcha think? Any favorites?

Weekend Wisdom.

I know this week is almost half over already, but seeing as I took a road trip to my college last weekend and have been having quite the busy work week, I'm a little behind on life (as you can see from my late Valentines Day posts). However, I am officially making 'Weekend Wisdom' a weekly occurrence so here goes:

1. Sometimes you just need some good ole fashioned girl talk/girls weekend to let it all out, and say ridiculous things. It's good for your mind, heart and soul.
2. However, when this girls weekend leads to large consumptions of alcoholic beverages, the next day will not feel good...though you will most certainly have some great stories. 
3. Moving away from my friends has made me realize how much I love them.
4. All-girl parties are SO much more fun than ones with guys. It's a simple truth. 
5. Some songs just explain how you're feeling better than words can. Some current ones have been by *Adele and Mumford and Sons (I know, its an obsession that has been repeated often on this blog). 
6. Long road trips in the car are made more bearable with Swedish Fish and Taylor Swift.






*The intro at the start of this video says it all. I cant remember if I've shared this song here or not (I know I have on FB), but it's just perfect, and so is this version. 

Wedding Fever

Why I torture myself, I do not know. For some reason, now that I am single, I have serious wedding fever. Though I know I'm being dramatic, I feel like everywhere I look there are engagements and weddings happening! And to top off my misery, anything to do with weddings is always gorgeous, so I am immediately drawn to it. Such as Anthropologie's new wedding line, BHLDN, that just launched this week. Just take a look at some of this from their website and you will understand what I'm saying:
