snail mail surprise.

So my best friend Ash just sent me this adorable notepad...

"...because it made me think of you."

Eiffel Tower and friends. Ahh memories.
I love surprise gifts in the mail.

And I love her ;]

Okay Tina.com

Figment.

So I just have extreme lovies for my kitty Fig right now..

He's at home in Illinois and I'm here in Florida. Oh Fig, how I miss you.

Soooo apparently there's a Mad Men casting call contest through Banana Republic that requires 60s garb to enter, and I really want to submit these photos for consideration.

P.S.

I miss my apartment SO much, and I miss Harmony [featured in Rach's photo] even more.

Louise: Part I

So in honor of finishing 'Act One' of the Barry Paris Louise Brooks biography I'm currently reading (300 pages thus far), I've decided to share a

this is getting ridiculous.

So this whole working at a wedding magazine thing is giving me waaaaay too many ideas for my nuptials that don't even exist

...yet.

I want them to do my dessert bar...

Sweet & Saucy


them to do my flowers...

Visual Lyrics


and them to do my cake.

Sweet Heather Anne


oh dear..

royally__remarkable.

So this was the immaculately illustrated blueprint for Margot Tenenbaum's bedroom.
Note the bearded mask and the IBM electric typewriter.
Those Andersons are great.

And I really want my bed in a turret.
