  1. Seriously addicted to Wallaby Organic Yogurt. Lemon is the BEST. {thanks, mom, for getting me hooked!}
  2. Adore this candid pic & hairstyle.
  3. Obsessed with Matt Bernson clogs for this season. So adorable & love the mismatched stud detail.
  4. I eat more when I am home than I ever do in real life. I don’t know if it’s the cooking or the air…but my money is on the cooking! {thanks, papa!}
  5. Bin38 in SF offers 40% off of all bottles every Tuesday. Who’s with me?
  6. There are 3 houses on my parents block for sale. Very good prices. Very cute. Very tempting.
  7. Confirmed favorite sleeping condition: hot weather, cool room, lightweight cotton sheet/blanket, whispering ceiling fan & sweetblessedcomplete silence.
  8. I am worried about my grandparents. Aging is scary. I’ve taken a cue from Elsie and made 4 simple goals for myself. They are part of one of my goals.
  9. Some people pronounce umbrella, “um-broolah.”
  10. Love my new j brand jeans. First pair of jeans in a VERY long time that didn’t need ANY alterations & they were on sale. Pretty hard to beat that!

Solitary Street Lights

  1. I bit the bullet and purchased some pleated pants. Not mom’s pleated pants, but some moderntailoredslimcropped pleated pants. It’s either going to be really awesome, or totally wretched. And I’ve gone and lost the inspiration pic. #bigsigh
  2. SUMMER in SF! {chilled white wine under flickering street lamps}
  3. 90s pop culture is awesome. Clarissa explains it all, anyone?
  4. I love Target, and I am super excited for my John Derian honeycomb mugs that I got on Gilt for $8 {thanks $25 credit!}
      4a. I bought a set of mugs, knowing that I really like the mismatched look…but I couldn’t help myself!
      4b. I have never seen such an online shopping frenzy as I did at the Gilt Groupe Target Sale. Items were sold out in SECONDS, the site was so overloaded cart pages wouldn’t load. It was nuts. I was dang lucky to snag those cute lil’ mugs!
  5. I’ve decided I love doing giveaways and I am going to do them more. {What are some things you guys would be interested in?}
  6. Totally riding the clog train, & I can’t believe it.
  7. Online dating?
  8. I think I’m on the verge of something SUPER exciting.
  9. Modeling is HARD {dedicated post coming soon!}
  10. I am toying with the idea of doing a wardrobe remix challenge, where for one week I challenge myself to create a totally new outfit based on the clothes I already own. {What do you think?}
  11. I would just really like to be Rachel Bilson. No big deal.
  12. REALLY excited for football season for the first time pretty much ever, thanks to this sweet lady.

  1. New {to me} favorite eye-candy blog {because I want a tattoo, but not sure if it’s really “me”.}
  2. I am on the hunt for a striped boyfriend cardigan. Any suggestions, let me know!
  3. Eat, Pray, Love is seriously one of the most appropriate books I’ve read in awhile.
  4. Loving my new hair bow!
  5. I am using the heater in August.
  6. Apartment is currently a clothes explosion.
  7. I really need to amp up my photoshop skills.
  8. My new favorite candle: Breakfast a Tiffany’s. It is sooooo yummy.
  9. Planning a girls trip to LA in November…can’t wait! It’s been so long since we’ve all been together.
  10. I only own one pair of superdark denim jeans and after 4 years they’ve finally worn through. Bummer, but new jeans are always exciting!

Hi guys! Blogging this week from Vegas while I’m here for work, staying at the hard rock with a VERY interesting assortment of people.

  1. I used to be anti-leggings. I now think they can be worn in public if done appropriately AND I live in them at home. They are so comfy…like wearing nothing at all!
  2. I don’t own a full length mirror
  3. Or DVR.
  4. I hate losing control of my emotions. Why?!
  5. Must. Go. To. Gym.
  6. I tried on a wheat color cardigan at H&M, an XS. It was so large it looked ridiculous. Then I went to Old Navy to continue my search. Ended up buying a Large so it would fit the way I wanted it to. {oversize, but not insane.} Lesson: Don’t pay attention to size. Get what fits.
  7. I am a sucker for soft rock, which I guess now is also called “adult alternative”. {only slightly embarrassing.}
  8. I don’t care how childish it seems; I am a sucker for chicken tenders. yum.
  9. I’m an introvert who’s pretty good at faking extroversion.
  10. It was awesome to meet Elsie!

And just because I thought this was too darn cute:

Well, that was quick, right? 10 more lessons? Not sure I’ve learned all that much in  4 days, but here goes nothing:

  1. I’ve never been into cartoons. ever. Except Daria. That show was the bomb {and it’s in my netflix queue!}
  2. Sometimes it’s the smallest things that make your day.
  3. I need to be more self-aware but less self-critical. Probably less critical in general would be good.
  4. Funniest website I’ve seen in awhile. I cried, actually. It was great.
  5. Don’t take yourself too seriously, you have to be able to laugh. At yourself. Sometimes.
  6. Targeted ads still catch me off guard. Not in a “Wow, that’s so cool way”. More like, “Wow, that’s pretty creepy”. Good recommendations though. Looks like someone’s got my number.
  7. Life changes are scary!
  8. Tomorrow I am going to make the hugest most delicious fruit salad and eat it for dinner.
  9. I hate Chinese food.
  10. Sweet Tea Cocktails, that is all.

So the last two are kind of cop-outs, but that was hard!
