Charlestown

So, I think we've established that I love movie trailers. But this one is extra special. It's a magical combination of one of my favorite places (Charlestown), John Hamm, and a Boston crime drama. Amazing.

This really makes me miss living in Charlestown, which is a beautiful place and mostly free of scary criminals.

Banana Bites

Once I saw this amazing photo, I knew I had to make these immediately. Frozen banana bites are the most delicious thing I have made in a very long time. And I don't even love banana.

Eat Pray Love Trailer

I'm sorry if you're rolling your eyes, but I'm excited to see this. I also just really like trailers, almost better than movies.



PS - I'm most definitely going to get myself to Bali sometime soon.

Kate Spade Book Bags

I'm loving these book bags from the Kate Spade fall collection.

Engagement Photos

How amazing are these engagement photos with handmade chalk background?

Love Letter to Blurb

A few weeks ago, I made my first Blurb photo book. I had made other photo books in the past through Shutterfly/Kodak, but found Blurb to be far superior. Most of all, I love the square sizes they offer. The littlest one is 7x7 and a perfect not-too-small size. The software was pretty easy to use and I really liked using my own font library for the cover, spine and all text. And finally -  it's really inexpensive (only $12 for the softcover small square size with 40 pages). Here's a preview of my little book:

Orange Beautiful

I wish I were in Chicago so I could go visit this beautiful new shop. One of my favorite bloggers has opened up a shop in Ravenswood. The next time I'm in town, this will be one of my first stops.

#2

So....did you see it? I haven't yet, but probably will this week. It's hard to believe that #1 came out almost exactly two years ago. My girlfriends and I went to see it the night before my friend Kate's wedding (which was lovely and not dramatic, unlike the movie - happy anniversary!)

I didn't love #1, but it's hard to resist seeing #2. The series was just so good, it's impossible to not care about what these fictional characters are doing now.

I think I'm going to watch a few episodes this week before seeing the movie. What are your favorites? Mine are this and this one.

J Crew/Net-a-Porter

Did you know that Net-a-Porter now carries J. Crew? I love to see how they style the clothes with other brand's items, like these Citizen Jeans and Elizabeth and James blazer.

Vegetable Arrangements

I loved these vegetable arrangements from Design*Sponge last Friday.

Old is New

I just found my 14 yr old Romeo + Juliet soundtrack. Omg, it's still sooo good. If you haven't listened to it in a while, or have never heard it, go to itunes. It's worth it.

Dresses, Continued

Love this Lauren Moffatt dress (and the big hair bow)
