Daylight Savings is one of my favorite days of the year. Yesterday didn’t disappoint, there is a new frozen yogurt place that just opened, we tried it, and my life is changed! While I love the later sunsets, the later sunrises are hard for the first week. This beautiful photo reminded me of my besties Lo & Katie, as our hair represents the spectrum. Hope you have a wonderful week!

I’m not sure but I think I want to embrace the runway white eyeliner trend. See below on Jac – the “top model” of Paris Fashion week.
I really want to do it. It’s so glam and yet ethereal? Where does one find white eyeliner?

PS: If you haven’t already, check out the Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce “Telephone” video. It made me want to break out in dance in my cube.
I also love The Cut’s fashion analysis, check it out here. Happy Friday!
If you’re like me, music gets you through the day and when you discover a new song you are into, you get excited. If you realize you can download that song for free and enjoy it as your very own, you get ecstatic. That happened to me today with some really interesting/entertaining music blogs. Here they are, go forth and listen.
Check those out if you know what’s good for you. Also found a site for blatantly free music…nice. Try-Music
I might as well tell you what I found for free that I’m obsessed with now.
What U want by Lupe Fiasco, Slippin by Quadron, Everything (Fleetwood Mac Cover) by Vampire Weekend, Life on Mars by Seu Jorge, Sexual Healing by Hot Chip, Sexual Healing by Hot 8 Brass Band, Where is my mind? by Emmy the great, Take me home country roads by Toots and the maytals, All at sea by Jamie Cullum, Band on the run by the Foo Fighters
Search for them or buy them. All amazing tunes and playing on repeat in my iPod.
Ok. I realized today that I am going to be physically on the beach in six weeks and two days. I do not feel nor feel that I look fat. With that said, I know I’d look better -5, -10, even -15lbs. I know I’d feel better, I know my clothes would fit better, I know my boyfriend (who lovingly tells me I look amazing) would agree once it was off.
My mom and I are going to Charleston, SC (one of my fave places) to visit my brother who is in college there. I want to get a tan and get lots of cute pictures and wear my cutest summer items while there, not to mention my mom is looking better than ever above age 55. NOT FAIR. If she asks to borrow my swimsuit, I know that will send me spiraling into anorexia but I’m just not sure I want to wait for that.
Here we all are. I think I’m hiding it pretty well but SUMMER IS COMING!
What can I do in 6ish weeks to lose 10lbs? I know it can be done. Question is…am I willing to do it and what is it that I should do.
Goal:
Will also take:
These jeans were loose and are now quite tight. Too tight to wear.
Wish me luck. I NEED IT.
I’ve happened upon a blog called my favorite and my best the author, Jenny is so straightforward and has amazing taste. She wrote an “open letter” to spring and summer, imploring them to come visit us soon. These photos are from her blog but you really must visit her post to get the full effect, you can do that here.
March 14th is daylight savings time. The beginning of Spring (according to me).
Do you remember fuzzies? My brothers and I all had them as children and we loved them so much that our mother had to physically remove them when the “time” came. Look at this one from Ikea…I literally want to curl up on it. I am very much looking forward to having my own place to sprawl out and decorate.
Do you ever have one of those days where nothing can pull you out of a strange funk? It’s like nothing is really going wrong but nothing’s really going right either. Even though you have things to look forward to, you can’t see them clearly in your mind. It’s like one of those cheesy Claritin clear commercials where the person can’t see for their allergies? Except it’s not allergies, it’s just the “can’t help it’s” as my mom used to call it.
Today is Tuesday. My office has tinting on the windows, so that people outside can’t see in. You’re supposed to be able to see out, but the tint is so extreme that everything ALWAYS looks gray unless the sun is so bright you’d be blinded if you were out of doors. Some days it bothers me more than others, today is one of those.
So…let’s see, what should I be happy about today? For one, it’s March. March can honestly be as dreadful as February but it’s at least nearing spring. Daylight savings is coming up. That’s always lovely. It feels gorgeous to be sitting outside at 8:30pm and still feel the sun shining on you.
I am looking forward to that and to sundresses. Hope you get out of your funk today. Music always helps.
I’ve always loved V-day because it’s my 1/2 birthday! This year I’m excited to be celebrating with my adorable beau but I am very sad to be missing my first Mardi Gras in a couple of years.
I do want to share some of my favorite love/sexy/make-out songs for the occasion.
Enjoy!
I am missing New Orleans like crazy these days. It’s gotten cold again in AR after a few blissful days filled with above 50 temperatures. I miss the weather. I’ve followed the saints all season and they’re FINALLY going to the Superbowl! A first in franchise history! So proud, so proud. Like many New Orleanians, I’d rather be in NOLA during the game than Miami! Can you imagine Mardi Gras if they win?!?! I’m off work on 2/15, why aren’t I going?
I miss my friend Sara and her effortlessly chic loft overlooking Lee Circle. I miss cocktails at lunch. I miss Langensteins. I miss TCBY. I miss Audubon park and lazy afternoons. Hell, I even miss rainstorms! Mostly I miss the food and the general joie de vivre of the city itself.
This fast is about to make me cry. Not only did I sit through a barbecue with all the fixings during the national championship game last night with out partaking, I weighed this morning and haven’t lost one more measly lb! It’s almost enough to make me eat a giant burger right now! But, I’m doing this for self-control purposes and to reset my eating habits, so I’m sticking with it. But…still depressed.
