stop... you're making me blush.

this has been my tried and true cheek color for years; it's super natural-looking, easy to use, and can multi-task as a lip stain.

however, i'm a product junkie and i've been dying to try this since i first laid eyes on it. i just added it to my birthday wish list... review to follow.

loves.

aren't these spoons the cutest little things you ever did see?

a pretty nice little saturday.

is there anything better than waking up to a sunny, beautiful saturday? today i have big plans:

• 7 mile run (check)
• drop off clothes at my favorite consignment shop (to make room for new clothes)
• a haircut
• peruse my favorite antique store
• hit up a craft store for materials to make a chic earring organizer... i'm thinking about finding a vintage frame and doing something like this.

• investigate adhesives (i know this sounds wonky... but i need to make sure my beautiful vintage stamps are firmly attached to my invitations
• find paint and fabric to transform a set of old wood chairs into something exciting.... i was inspired by emily:

• hopefully fit in a little shopping
• and lastly, dine al fresco with my fiance

have a wonderful saturday!

feeling fall.

i'm loving this little puff-shoulder number by chloe with a joseph striped t-shirt

luckily i scored a great blazer (on sale) at j. crew last season and this madewell saint james tee will fit the bill.

mother knows best.

a few months ago, on a visit to my mom and dad's house i made a great discovery in my mom's haircare drawer: naturia dry shampoo. i used it once and i was hooked. it has a nice light, unobtrusive scent, and the white powder that emanates from the aerosol container works miracles... it makes your hair look clean and adds some volume. luckily, my mother was generous enough to give me the can.

i ran out of naturia and headed to my favorite local beauty supply store to look for a replacement... i was disappointed to see they don't carry it but i decided to take a gamble on a new product: kenra platinum dry shampoo. this stuff is just okay- the scent is a little cloying and the residue the spray leaves behind does not feel as natural or clean as naturia.

j'aime gossip girl.

tea for two.

my mom always has the greatest vintage tea towels... these aren't vintage, but i love them nonetheless.
