A few books of desire...two for looking and one for cooking. This one caught my eye on a "A Cup of Joe" because it's edited by said favorite food writer , Amanda Hesser. Organic and Chic looks like pure gorgeousness. A cheaper version of the Charley Harper book !

My mom and I had a terrarium and Emma watching night while Zach was in Chicago last week. Here is the end result! yay. :)

This looks like possibly one of the coolest shops ever. It's in LA...fortunately, we happen to be traveling there in a little over a month! Wahoo! :) Most definitely stopping by. Here are some highlights off their website (which is very well-stocked!).

These necklaces from Maneki are so beautiful (they remind me of my sister-in-law's wonderful jewelry). I'm thinking the birdcage is my favorite at this moment...funky and pretty at the same time. So much more goodness on their website . p.s. Aleza, this is the same company you showed me at the local artists shop in Austin!

I will purchase a mustache on a stick . Until then...

This is cute.

My family is at this moment (only after consuming reubens, potatoes, and mint ice cream) watching " Darby O'Gill and the Little People ." Slightly hilarious.

She and Him's new album is coming out on March 23rd - SO soon! You can listen to it already on NPR. I'll be doing that sometime soon...

I can't get over how pretty this wedding from StyleMePretty is...the colors are so gorgeous together. The bride is a textile designer, so it only makes sense. Oh, and I'm on a mission to find those turquoise drop earrings.

I'm considering bangs again. Like, full out bangs. I might even go to the salon rather than cut them myself (ALWAYS dangerous!). :) Here's some inspiration. What do you all think? (A question posed to my two readers...hehe). {Photo 1: Christine from " My Style Pill "; Photo 2: Anne Hathaway in "The Devil Wears Prada"; Photo 3: Zooey Deschanel; Photo 4: The Kate Spade model}

I used to think skinny jeans were simply for, well, skinny girls. News flash: skinny jeans come in all shapes and sizes nowadays. They're for everyone...Hallelujah! Not always easy to find, but definitely present. Over the past few years, I've found a few pairs that feel just right. So right that I wear them out more quickly than I would like, leading me into today's on-line search for the new perfect skinny come birthday time. My most favorite pair of J Brands are wonderful (they're ankle length, which happens to be normal on me), but they happened to be lucky find at Anthro for $45.00, unlikely to happen again. So, I must find a new and reasonably priced set of legs. Here are the options I found while hanging out at home, under the weather, attempting not to swallow as I nurse my wonderfully swollen throat...ugh. The "Always Skinny" from the Gap, which comes in different lengths: Kut from the Kloth Ankle Jeans at Nordstrom : And the favorite JBra...

Sometimes I still get a little homesick for these places. Today would be one of those days. {Top to bottom: The Grand Mosque in Casablanca, J'ma El Fna in Marrakesh, Fez}

for these bad boys to arrive in the mail! I'm so excited to have rain boots just in time for spring, thanks to my mom. :)

Newly obsessed. This lady ( Jessica Hische ) is amazing!! I first saw a her tattoo on A Cup of Joe (pretty cool...see below!) and researched a little more. So fun...Jessica is a really great typographer and designer. And I love that embroidered Marrakesh cover...and not just because it says Marrakesh. :) Have a look!
