Pink tiles, be gone.

June 30, 2010

I am quite certain that if this was my bathroom I would be the happiest girl in the world.

Or this one. This one would make me insanely happy too.

This one isn’t too shabby either, if I do say so myself.

And good golly how could this NOT make one cheerful?

Thanks House Beautiful, for shaping my dreams. You kind of have to dream if you’ve lived with a closet-sized bubble gum pink tiled bathroom for the past six years. And that’s not just one bathroom, it’s been three. Three pink tiled bathrooms in six years. I kid you not.

Good thing pink is my friend.

Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad

June 29, 2010

I was feeling lazy tonight for dinner and so I stopped by Panera to take-out a salad to bring home. I decided on the Strawberry Poppy Seed, seeing how it’s summer and all, and it was the perfect dinner for a warm June night.

The salad not only has strawberries, but blueberries, mandarin oranges, and pineapple too. Plus walnuts and feta (if you ask) and a really tasty poppy seed dressing. It’s great choice if you’re ever near a Panera Bread– take my word for it!

Boots, I love you.

June 29, 2010

So I absolutely understand that it is summer and that it is 85 degrees and the end of June. I get it, I get it.

But still, I cannot stop thinking about these boots.

Trouble is, I don’t even know if they still exist. Madewell sold them last fall and winter, and I even have a faint memory of them being in the store last spring. I haven’t had the chance to stop by lately and do not know if they are still purchasable. The website does not have them, but could the store? Does anyone know?! Can anyone out there tell me? Please, give info. Help a sister out. For some strange reason (or maybe not so much, given my history) I feel like these need to be my boots. Why? Good question. Am I nuts? Absolutely. At any rate, these gorgeous boots are stuck in my head and I can’t get them out and I love them.

I love them.

Boots, I love you. Please be mine.

The Beehive

June 28, 2010

Last Thursday we celebrated Lauren (my beloved roomate)’s 25th birthday. Lauren is one of the nicest, most excellent people I know. And if you happen to be friends with her, you know what I am talking about!

LJ: YOU ROCK.

For the big two-five, a group of us decided to hit up the south end for a fun dinner at a hip location. Said location being… drumroll please…..: The Beehive!
