- Vacation deets: June 24-July 5. Get after it!!
- You can tell I’m feeling sick when I don’t wear heels. Heels somehow make it worse.
- My current Steve Madden black pumps lasted longer than my Charles David ones, were half the price, and haven’t had to be resoled once. Sadly, I’m starting to look for my next pair because the Steve Maddens are kind of looking a little ratty. Any suggestions?
- I slipped up on my shopping ban: there was a dress I fell in love with{via pinterest no less}. And I have so many wedding events coming up, that it is sure to come in handy. AND it was only $42. Justification much? Oh, and I got gold sequined shorts, too {Vegas, baby!} {Bad Kate.}
- Expectation is the root of all disappointment; I constantly set myself up for failure.
- I finished The Help tonight…started it Sunday night…yep, I am a pretty damn quick reader. I am so happy to be back in the swing of reading! Suggestions welcome!
- I haven’t been posting outfit pictures because I haven’t been getting dressed. Well, I mean, I’ve been getting dressed, but nothing even remotely spectacular interesting. a. NO SHOPPING. b. MUST DO LAUNDRY!
- I think writing in all capital letters is rude the vast majority of the time.
- Go get yourself some Ben and Jerry’s Red Velvet ice cream. You won’t be sorry. Unless you don’t like red velvet or cream cheese. Or ice cream.
- Also: I want to make some homemade ice cream this summer, real bad. Reminds me of being a kid.

Only you can pull of sequined shorts! 🙂
I’m currently reading “Room” and I really love it so far! If you have a Kindle you can download a free sample 🙂
Also, that Red Velvet ice cream NEEDS TO BE IN MY LIFE.
I might need some of your expertise when looking for a dress for wedding season on a budget. That one is cute!
Ani – There’s such a cool thing coming up: http://grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com/2011/05/announcement-from-semi-scratch-sewing.html
I would love to have someone to try it with! Let me know.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks — It is amazing. So interesting!
Help was AMAZING too.
I bought ILHL at the same time I bought Help! It’s in my bookcase, waiting 🙂
I have to say that I am pumped that you had Red Velvet. It seems that none of my friends have, and nobody will indulge with me. Awesome.
Oh, and the dress is awesome! Very cute, and perfect for weddings.
Thanks for posting and I love your blog!
the Help is next on my reading list.
I just finished the Forgotten Garden and LOVED LOVED LOVED it! Highly recommend it!!!
i seriously need that red velvet ice cream.
