Tumblr got all up in my Blogspot blog. Uh-oh.

Good day, Honey-pies.

Today my blog is just a jumble of good things.

Let's go:



I like this like this like this. See it here, my dear.



In a similar vien, so sweet. I can't find the exact link to this drawing, so I feel bad. But it's too lovely not to put up.



When I spotted this, I couldn't help hearing in my head the line in The Princess Bride where Wesley tells Max why he isn't all the way dead, why he should come back, "truuuuuuuuuueeeeee looooooovvvveeeeeee." Oh man, good movie. Thats why I'd come back, I do believe.




I can't help the part of me that loves bunting, especially letter bunting. I adore these because they would be such an easy way to punch up a wall. If I had a wall left, I'd think of something clever and make one.



Of course, Papel Picado is my favorite form of bunting. It fits like a glove into my New Mexico design style...because my philosophy on style is that if it has bright colors or involves wierd religious iconography, its in.



I own the above, and have entierly styled my kitchen around it. I am enamored of the Virgin of Guadalupe and her beautiful iconography. Its pretty fascinating, both visually and theologically....but I digress.

If you were ever wondering where to find anything awesome, check here, senorita.

All of these interests go exceedingly well with my desire to be a border angel. I'm serious, and I may head west post grad-school.



But for now, lets just sit back and wonder who the hell did this?

Already?

I felt like I should post something, since its been an age and a half, dears.

But life is exceptionally busy right now. Exceptionally.

I'll give you just a few good things to think about:



Haviana's. World's best flip flop. Let me tell you. I have gray skinnies and they are fab.



Its almost time to blow these guys up in an effort to celebrate America's Independace.



I want to go to there. (check it out here)




I love Nan Lawson's stuff. Click over to her right here.



Jenny Lewis is like Sarah Lee. Nobody doesn't like her




This dress has been in my heart a good two months. Please be a dear and get one for me.

Fashion Friday: Work is sloooow....

Here we go, chums.

I got paid this week, therefore, I went shopping this week. I bought a grand total of five dresses,a skirt, three cardigans (summer ones!), and a tee shirt all for the whopping sum of around $95.00. I know, I know, its alot to spend on clothes when your income is on the low range of ye olde ladder, but I haven't got many summer things that fit these days (that's right, I lost ten sizes...what? yeah.)

My new outfit for today consists of the following...more or less (I gotta ballpark because I'm not up to mugging for this blog):




Black with a floral print is pretty much always a go for me. My actual skirt is a Target number...run to thier clearance racks because things are good right now. Mine was $9.



Can you tell that these little old shirts play a major role in my wardrobe? They do holmes, they do. I got mine from the Mart of Wal for $3.

And then my pop of non-matching color!




With this as my example (and it's not the actual cardigan I'm wearing), things look a little off, but trust me, its a win. I got mine from Old Navy, again from the Clearance racks (only place I shop in any given store...I'm cheap and broke most of the time). It was also $9. Its very lightweigt, so its a go for SC summer.

In my ears, I am sporting these



Forever 21, $3.80, and ever so versatile. Get them while they're hott

And let us not forget shoes!



From Target, and decent. All for $14.99, they become the most pricey ttem of the day.
Get em here, holmes.

Oh, hi Friday...

"No human can compose a love letter without seeming slightly insane. Love letters are like suicide notes -- if someone is in the emotional position to consider writing one, they're generally in the worst psychological position to make any cogent sense."-Chuck Klosterman

Not that its terribly relevant at the moment, and though it is taken from a book review, I find it a charmingly true observation...not that I'm going to provide any of mine as examples to underscore this hypothesis.

Anyway, here's the book I'm going out to buy tonight:



( you could order it right over here, darling.)

And here is an example of a love letter that I love:




Agghhh, I know. This mush is outta control. But its a beautiful poem. And we were on the subject of Love. So, its entierly excusible.

Pardon my inability to spell.

At any rate, I'll just let you go with the knowledge of exactly what my Llyod Dobbler would play outside my window (on an ipod touch...geez it would be hard to hear):

listen here....do it!

Happy Friday, loves.

Beautiful

i am in love

This is an example...

...of a post that just contains an awesome picture.

Thursday Fashion: If this isn't business casual, I don't know what is.

Good Afternoon world! Wondering what I'm wearing to work this fine Thursday? Well you're in luck.

I'm going to recreate it for you RIGHT HERE!

Let's start with the dress...




For the first time ever on Oh Golly! I am depicting the actual dress I'm wearing RIGHT THIS MINUTE! Yeah, go ahead. Buy yourself one right over here, darling.

With this lovely little number goes:



and



(but if I had it, I'd wear):



and currently on my feet:



(Get a pair just like these at Wal-mart for $9 bucks. I'm saying, cheap is better.)


And



Mine is Wet and Wild's cheap bright red, which works great, actually!


In my ears:



and



Have one hell of a Thursday, kids.
