I die

My friends and I  have always had a mild obsession with MK & A Olsen. “The unofficial biography of Mary Kate Olsen New episodes every Monday and Thursday”. These webisodes are so hilarious. Thanks to Elements of Style for introducing me! See more here.

Swimsuits/Anthropologie/Going to the beach!

Friends, I’m going to Charleston, SC for a mini-vacay with my mama in one week. We’re going to visit my delicious little brother Hampton, who is a sophomore in college. We’ll be doing a lot of things with him but we are staying ON-THE-BEACH! Dream come true for this sun-starved ice storm survivor. As I told you here, I found the ultimate suction one-piece. But, I do need more in the swimsuit department…and finding a flattering suit is just so hard! I am slightly down in the weight area after my puppy/close-call/survival situation. So, I must take advantage and purchase swimsuits now, right?

Why, oh why, doesn’t Anthropologie have a store in Fayetteville, AR; Tulsa, OK or Charleston, SC? I’ll be in all three of those places in the next week?? The answer: they hate me. But they do have priority shipping. I’m finding it very difficult to choose a favorite.

Two-Piece?

Golden Days Bikini

I’m sortof loving this one. Check out the back…I’m all about ties.

You know from this post that I’m all about “showing back”. This one might be the winner!

Although…I’m not sure I look like this from the back, we’ll see ;)

Digital Magazines: Best Idea EVER!

I recently discovered Lonny Magazine, it’s an online-only home decor magazine with amazing finds and a keen eye for style. My favorite part is the instant click of images leading you directly to a site to where you can buy!

Vanity Fair did a piece on this lovely digi-mag in the December 2009 issue:

Here are some photos from the Oh Joy! Blog Lonny-magazine1Lonny-magazine2

One of my favorite articles comes from issue 3 and features a computer table fashioned into a lucite vanity. Sara Gilbane has her perfume/jewelry a top the clear table and her favorite shoes stored below. The whole thing is like a gorgeous work of art. What tops it off is the vintage-ish, oversize square mirror with personal photographs tucked in.

See what this simple (drab) computer table can turn into! The Lucite vanity is gorgeous but the magazine as a whole is SO worth a look :)

Literally… you can click on all the things you like and will be directed to where you can purchase them. SUCH AN AMAZING IDEA!

I also found this gorgeous mirror for $99  from novica.com that would be perfect atop the vanity, don’t you think?

Dear Spring & Summer

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).

Engrossingly funny

French women don’t get fat?

Being in France has made me realize that I hold some incredibly naïve assumptions about French women and weight that can probably be traced to too much exposure to Vogue Paris, Garance Doré, the GOOP newsletter, and the career of Juliette Binoche. In my mind, French women eat Camembert and Nutella and still look cute in leather leggings
