There is no better way to spend the day….

…then by hanging out on Newbury St. in Boston. It’s my favorite street in the world, filled with A-MA-ZING shops, restaurants and one of the best places to people watch. I LOVE going to get my haircut there every couple months and i LOVE that i have the most amazing stylist. I have even gotten my Mother hooked and she loves our stylist too!

Some of  my favorite times in summer can be spent:

– grabbing an ice coffee and strolling up and down the street

– window shopping at all of the stores i can’t afford, flirting with the handsome bodyguards (did i say that out-loud?)

– making my way up the stairs to the top floors in Banana Republic and H&M!

– perusing the ONLY thrift store in the world i actually like, a second hand store filled with designer GOODIES!

I’m just SO happy that summer is here. Bring on the flip-flops, shopping bags and iced lattes! 🙂

 

The Hangover…

If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you should! It’s HILARIOUS!

(If anything, it’ just nice looking at Bradley Cooper throughout the entire movie!)

 

Love it or leave it?

I like my beauty sleep and have done my share of driving while puttting make up on….but i’ve never seen this before! Until now.

Check out this aptly named TS-2 Nomad Mobile Flat Iron for your wandering lifestyle. Instead of a wall plug, it goes right into your car’s cigarette lighter. It seems like an accident waiting to happen —Can you see a use for this product, (now on sale for $65)?

 

Do you Etsy?

I am SO not a crafty person. I’ve always hated doing crafts. I STINK at doing crafts.

But for some odd reason, I’ve become very fond of Etsy – “Your place to buy and sell all things handmade”. So i thought I’d share some of my favorite Etsy shops with you, in case you’re crafty and/or just want to go shopping.

Oh, hello friend. (LOVE the name) This girl sells some very chic and super cute jewelry. You can visit her store here. I’d show you my favorite neckclace, but there is only one left and you might grab it before i do!

The Pleated Poppy….This might be my absolute favorite store. I am LOVING her posie headbands like the one above! I won a pouch as a giveaway on her blog this week and OH MY, it’s even cuter in person! She even filled it with a posie, checkbook cover, thumbtacks and a tissue holder. LOVE it! If you have little girls, you will LOVE the posies! You can visit her store here.

Studio Mela….she sells wicked cute prints that if i could, i would adorn my walls with! They are fun, colorful and HAPPY! Visit her store here.

Those are a few of my favorites. If you have any favorite Etsy stores, do share! 🙂

 

In the Twilight…

Ok, i wanna know….

Have YOU read the books? Have you become a crazed Twilight fan? More importantly, am i missing out by not diving into the love-story between a vampire and his lady?

 

One of my favorite people…

I want to go to the circus…

Her tour beings tonight. I REALLY want to go. It’s gonna be HOTT. She knows how to put on a show. I love me some Britney.

 

Meh.

 

A Surprising Brouhaha Over the Use of the Word “Meh” 

“Meh” is the online equivalent of saying to someone’s face “whatever!” or my favorite variants, “whatevs” or the silent “W” formed with your thumbs and index fingers. The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman complained about it on Twitter last week, claiming that it represents that the user has “missed the point,” or worse — rejects joy! So of course, people responded to this Tweet with (drumroll): “Meh.” Hahaha. “Meh” has been traced back to two Simpsons episodes in which Lisa and Bart express their disdain for something their parents did. It’s an official word now, “meh” haters, so get used to it. It’s now in the Collins English Dictionary!

 

What’s your personal style?

I just checked out Sproost after i saw it on Heather’s blog…i just love me some home design sites! Here are my results from the little quiz…

Your personal style is a mix of 3 specific styles:

43% Nantucket Style 29% Traditional Country 28% Classic

Nantucket Style: Oh how you love the beach! Who doesn’t, right? And so your dream home is either perched in your favorite beach town, or you’ve brought that favorite beach town into your house. Your art and accessories speak directly to the activities that are found at the beach. Pieces of driftwood you found here, pictures or paintings of the amazing views there. Things that remind you of the coast – surf boards or fishing boats – are found throughout the house. The feeling of the seaside is both abstract and literal in the design of your space. The fabrics are natural, cottons and linens and are light in color and touch. Much of the furniture is wood or wood framed (the lighter the better, think driftwood!) and wicker, when done right, is a must. And since your true inspiration is the sea, the colors and textures in your home are the same that you would find at your favorite beach: white, light beiges and grays of the sand and driftwood, a variety of blues for the ocean and sky, and greens and vibrant blues of the sea glass� but the key is white! Your space should feel light and airy and give off the mood one has when at the beach: laid back! Your furniture is comfortable and the layout is cozy. The more it reminds you of actually sitting on the warm sand, the better! And what do you do at the beach? Hang out with family and friends – and your home is just an extension of this play place. And though the space is filled with large white furniture, it somehow manages to feel both durable and casual.
