girl crush: diane kruger

Diane Kruger was definitely my favorite at the SAG Awards this year. I loved the saffron Jason Wu gown paired with the ruby jewelry, absolute perfection.



But her best accessory of the night had to be Joshua Jackson. They couldn't be any more adorbs if they tried. Who would have thought Pacey from Dawson's Creek would grow up to land such a babe AND have such great style?

temporary wallpaper idea

Jenny over at Little Green Notebook is an absolute genuis. I stalk her blog constantly trying to pick up stylish, inexpensive DIY projects to use in my little house.

This time she really floored me, though. I've been searching for a solution to my depressing off-white walls that I can't paint or wallpaper since I'm a renter. I found a couple of ideas with those adhesive decals and temporary wallpaper but nothing really went with my decor.

Jenny has come to my rescue with a large scale diamond patterned "wallpaper" using Japanese masking tape.

Here are some of Jenny's home during the process...






and here is the finished product. So chic, right?

I love the aqua color Jenny used, but I'm also considering this green and the red dot. What do you think?

reese's pieces

This bout of warm weather has given me the ultimate case of Spring Fever.
I'm itching to break out my light, flowy sundresses from storage.

In my mind, Reese Witherspoon can do no wrong but I'm especially loving this drop-waist dress/gladiator combo.

happy monday!

That title sounds like an oxymoron. But when you work for a public library and have the day off when it's a sunny 67 degrees out, it's actually true!

p.s. I've been really bad at blogging on a daily basis, but it's one of my New Year's resolutions to keep up with it so I promise to start...now.

Yeah, now.

meet little baby riley:

the pudgiest, squishiest, softest, sweetest Bernese Mountain puppy with

the funniest cartooniest bark I've ever heard.

Best roomie ever.

the edge of love

I've formed an unhealthy obsession with this movie. April Ferry is a costume-design genius, her war-time ensambles leave me drooling every time I watch the movie.

Floral tea dresses, well-worn, chunky cardies, thick, knee-high socks and folded-down wellies have consumed my life.

effortless style

These Swedes really know what they're doing.

Gorgeous!
