I’ve been looking for patterned pants for a while now and finally stumbled on the perfect pair from Banana Republic. I’ve been so into green lately, and these are green and gorgeous and have a cute, tiny pattern that doesn’t overwhelm. I paired them with a gray T and my blue blazer. I can’t waitContinue reading “new outfit: patterned pants”

crazy in love: dangerous behavior from fictional men
A man repeatedly tries to get you to go somewhere after you’ve said no. He holds you against your will, and insists he is in a relationship with you and he’s just trying to take care of you. Just when you think you’ve gotten rid of him, he shows up again, to tell you againContinue reading “crazy in love: dangerous behavior from fictional men”
project life: july
This summer has gone so fast that I’ve just now caught up on Project life. I added an insert for my birthday and two pages for July. For my birthday, I added a half page with pictures and a page protector with my post of things I’ve learned this past year printed out. I addedContinue reading “project life: july”
new outfit: summer brights
Teal, orange, and yellow are a few of my favorite colors. And while it’s still summer, I’m going to keep wearing brights. (Though let’s be real, I’ll keep wearing them in winter, too.) Shoes from JC Penney, skirt from the Loft, sweater and bag from Target, necklace from H&M.
embroidery display update
I have finally added my latest embroideries to my embroidery display! I am slowly but steadily filling the space above my bed. I love having them in my home–I love any handmade item in my home. I think it adds originality and personality, and I’m of course also proud that I made them myself. I’mContinue reading “embroidery display update”
10 books i haven’t read
Sometimes there feels like there is just never enough time to catch up. I could read all day and all night and never read all the things that look interesting. There’s so many classic books I still need to read, I wonder how I’ll ever manage to get to the new fantastic books coming out.Continue reading “10 books i haven’t read”
kites, the beach, and what i wore
We are quickly running out of weekends in the summer. Luckily I got down to the beach for a few hours in the sun over the weekend. I’m not too far from Coney Island and Brighton Beach, and it’s one of my favorite summer spots. It’s easy for me to get to, a free publicContinue reading “kites, the beach, and what i wore”
baby blanket progress (4 inches)
A while ago I started on the baby blanket I’m making for my niece. I am happy to say that I have made some progress. About four inches of progress! I have finished the very first stripe of what will be many stripes of several colors. I still have a long way to go, butContinue reading “baby blanket progress (4 inches)”
monochrome outfit: blue
For weeks and weeks I’ve been trying to think of a good outfit that reflected Miss Blue Glass and Miss Green Glass. And though I’ve owned both of these pieces for a while, I didn’t think of putting together navy and royal blue until one morning when I was running late and trying on allContinue reading “monochrome outfit: blue”
where’d you go, bernadette
The other day on Twitter, I asked for a recommendation for a quick read. No less than three people recommended Where’d You Go, Bernadette (Kindle here). Obviously, I had missed the memo on how great of a book this was. Lucky for me, my friends steered me in the right direction. And I am very gladContinue reading “where’d you go, bernadette”
