good morning

.. is right! Lady Gaga was on Good Morning America this morning and I just love her. This has got to be a sign of a good day :)

the bun

Let me just start by saying, I love buns. I feel like I've been wearing my hair in buns for at least the last 10 years (yes that means since the good 'ol age of 13). I remember at one point I wore the bun with twisty things on top of my head then had the bun. Then I did the super messy bun with straight spikes sticking out everywhere, then there was the bun with braids running in and out of it (still dont hate!) and now I often do the low bun and then the big bun. I think most of us love the big bun from seeing Sarah Jessica Parker rock it.. or maybe that's just me. But either way, I love it. It's so classy and elegant but you can wear it with anything! I like wearing the big bun with my sweats so I feel somewhat pulled together while at the grocery store. I feel like 5 out of 7 days a week I am wearing a bun. It's just that easy! So here's a pic of me rocking the big bun that I learned how to do from thanks sydney!

ready for lunch

I want Cupcakes and Cashmere's sandwich for lunch today!!

design love

I recently stumbled upon Kishani Perera's website with a friend. Ever since, all I want to do is paint my walls. My walls are currently your basic apartment white.. I know.. They could really use some color inspiration from Ms. Perera. She has such a wonderful wonderful sense of style and color. I've looked over her portfolio a lot and love it more and more each time. I think what really appeals to me is the amount of texture in each room. There is so much depth  to each image that I truly want to be sitting on the sofa!

fall in design love!!

want want want

Mmmmm I'm loving all three of these things below (especially how they look together)!! I can just see it now.. wearing the dress, nails painted, standing on the rug.. done. 

Okay, the nail polish. I've been wanting a light green/light blue polish for forever. I have OPI's Shrek Collection which has a light blue and light green but it just doesn't work on me. I think Chanel's Riva would be perfect!! It's not totally blue or green and it ahs a really nice shimmer to it that I think will work better. And I just love Chanel's square bottles.

John Robshaw's dhurrie is such a wonderful pattern. I want it for in my powder room. 

The Anthropologie dress looks like a great cut. I want it for my body :) 

With all these wants I'm lucky my birthday's coming up!! Woopwoop

We're off to Sedona for the weekend!

valentine's day

so wonderful!

Rifle Paper Co. has the best note cards and the Valentine's Day collection does not disappoint. I'm especially in love with the one above!! So simple, so cute, and finishing it off with the perfect pink envelope?! It's ALMOST too much to handle!

staying warm

Although living in Phoenix doesn't lead to very many cold days.. a few have happened and the mornings are definitely cold. SOO I've been very happy and excited to wear my new sweater and feel all cozy inside :)

Headband: Anthro, Sweater: JCrew

I'm pretty sure the sweater weighs at least 8 pounds. And I literally have worn it every single day since I bought it. It's even on sale!!   best sweater ever

human eco

Missing human ecology building.. my planner.. two computers.. all nighters.. my bffs.. insomnia cookies (thank you Heather's mom).. wearing that zip up every single day :( and wishing I had that big bowl of chips to eat!! 

Boohoo.. I am happy to see that although at the time of this picture I was super stressed every day with school I still found time to paint my nails! *high five*

speaking of candles....

I got this wonderful wonderful best ever candle for Christmas.
It honestly smells like a really handsome man. I cant figure out another way to describe it! 

Jonathan Adler Muse Noir Candle

dream office

As I was getting dressed this morning, I realized that my outfit was exactly how I imagine my dream office to look like.. Navy walls (specifically Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball..I cant get over navy walls!! <3), white shag carpet, soft pink & yellow accessories, and probably a lot of sparkle. Oh, and a white Barcelona Chair would be the finishing touch!

Perfect. Now if someone can please give me a house we'll be allll set  :)

On a side note, I saw someone walking into Best Buy barefoot.

It's LOVE

Ha I love it! Now, I'm a little nervous...so it's great that we practiced blogging earlier on the phone.

I bought a new candle. "Midnight Jasmine" by Yankee Candle. It smells like Rome in May. Now that really is love. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.

Here I am

Blog number uno. What to say what to say? I'm not sure where this blog will head but I'm going to think somewhere in the design direction... We'll see what happens!
