Inspiration and Appreciation : Peter Pan by Tina Tarnoff

I want children, so it's no surprise when I see a piece of art that is so whimsical, reminiscent of childhood as Tina's Peter Pan papercut is, I want to buy it NOW.

 

To save it and save it until it goes up in its rightful place in a child's bedroom. Kind of like how I bought a prom dress in high school before I had a date :). 

To see Tina's other gorgeous and whimsical art works, visit her etsy shop and enjoy!

Things That Make Me Happy Right Now

First up- now that I got paid I get to get this pair of sexy and fun shoes (I'm not sure why I am so into heels right now considering I mostly wear flats to work every day):

After lucking out and not able to purchase the Marc by Marc Jacobs Teri Turnlock bag in red from Gilt, I used my brain power, desire to buy some unattainable, and found it on (drumroll) eBay! I won the auction and this pretty baby will be in my hands in the next week or so. CAN'T WAIT.

-On Sunday, Caitlin, Dustin, Lauren, Kyle, (mabye Audrey), and I are finally going to see Avatar at IMAX.

-I am going to see Citizen Cope in concert on April 3rd with saucy pookie Patty and her great boyfriend.

-Plans for going to the Olympics (Women's curling event) worked out :) AND I'll get to see my friend Carla who I met while in Switzerland back in fall of 2006.

-It's FRIDAY!

Round Whatever of Online Dating

People why wonder I haven't had much luck with online dating. See below evidence (name removed to protect the Mr. Over Eager):


Hello beautiful, I'm ________. How are you doing? Wow, I am blown away by your profile! You are an amazing woman, beautiful too ;-) You should be a model! If you are looking for an amazing man to spend lots of time with laughing, traveling, and creating lasting memories with, then look no further. Here I am! We should talk sometime or meet for coffee or lunch or something. Let me know if you are interested, I would love the opportunity to get to know you. ________

I rest my case.

Thank you for your time.

Inspiration and Appreciation: It Looks Good to Me

I love, love getting Daily Candy in my inbox every morning. The contents don't always strike my fancy but today, I found a new artist and her website. It Looks Good to Me. I am especially in love with her illustrations that are brought to life with watercolors:

This one could totally go on my kitchen wall at home. Especially considering how much I love my red wine :).

This may sound weird but this work reminds me very much of Carrie Bradshaw in the first few seasons of Sex and the City. I think it's because it was the first time I'd ever seen someone wear ankle socks with heels. And it looked fun and trendy :).

Titled, Make Love Not War, is just beautiful to me. I like that its slightly morbid with the hard gray of the gun and blossoming deep pink (reminds me a bit of blood) of the rose. It's a beautiful and striking contrast. I don't know where I put it up in my house. . .  maybe in the living room?

 And of course this is a favorite of mine because she's a redhead! What can I say? Redheads only make up 1% of the population and I'm proud to be a part of it :). I particularly like it though because although the illustration is one dimensional, the watercolors make it move. I feel like at any moment, she could wink at me, blow me a kiss and saunter off the page with her fire red hair blowing in the wind. I think this one might be going up in my room sometime soon.

Click here for more illustrations and here for her fashion inspired blog (no shocker that fashion is the main topic seeing as Ms. Caroline is a fashion textile designer).

Enjoy!

My Party Outfit for This Saturday

On Saturday night- my friends Stef and Eric (Steric to some) are having a housewarming party complete with cocktail attire and a keg (hell, we are still in our twenties (for now)). I love a party because it will be with good friends and sure to be good times but also because I get to plan an outfit!!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I a) love clothes b)l ove an excuse to shop c) love to PLAN outfits and d)love wearing a well planned outfit.

I realize this is a little strange but I get a TON of pleasure out of planning and wearing an outfit that I love. So let me present to you, internet, the dress I'll be wearing on Saturday:

 

 I got this fun and lively (and usually expensive) dress via the fabulous Gilt Groupe. It's by 7 for All Mandkind, view more here. On my pretty little feet (actually my feet are a size 8-9 and not so pretty but you get the point) are these fabu shoes:

 

There are by Madeline Shoes and I got them from the really cool and old Queen Anne Dispatch. They were on sale for half off! I don't know if I've ever met a pair of shoes I didn't love for $30. I love these because they feel Hollywood and trendy (when I wear them, I feel like I should be at a movie premier) yet comfy. I think the olive green/gray and brown/red netting will contrast the eye catching black and white pattern nicely.

I know it's not quite matchy-matchy and a little more funky but that's precisely why I love it :).

Another little fantasy/dream of mine? Fashion stylist.

Big surprise, I know.

Golden Globes Blogging Part 13

Standing ovation, Mr.Bridges!

Great credit to his wife :). The sap in me loves that.

I didn't know that where the GG are hosted that it has hosted dancing lessons. Bat Mitzvahs, etc.

Good shout out to Ms.Gyllenhall and Mr.Farrell! Even his stand in :). Warm fuzzies from his speech.

Julia Roberts will annouce Best Picture. . .

I'm thinking maybe The Hurt Locker because it hasn't won anyting, Avatar seems to be gaining momentum, maybe Precious because it hasn't won anything else either. . .

I think J.Roberts is definitely a H-town sweetheart. . . it's nice to know that some celebrities are really Movie Stars, not that reality crap Dlist shit.

It's back on she is LOVED. . .

Oh, she texts!!!

I like that she wore a short dress. Not stunning like R. Witherspoon's a couple of years ago but it's different. . .

She told her kids to go to bed.

Avatar it is!

I'm a little shocked. I thought some other movies were better. . . .
