yet another lil' photo of the new place. And yes, that Himalayan cat book used to live in the phone nook at me n' katie's place as well. I know you want this book for your own telephone nook, you can totally get it on amazon.

The author wrote other gems such as The Book of the Shi Tzu. If you like books like these you should check out Sami's Know Series.

brought some boxes to the new place today - and discovered a good place to take wardrobe remix pictures! I'm making a terrible face, yes, but let's not look at that... lets look at THE LIGHT. It is so beautiful in this place.

More pictures to come!

quick fix

what do you call a guilty pleasure that really doesn't need to incur guilt? Non-Guilty Pleasures? Either way, mine is fixing buttons. I'm not the best at sewing, but almost anyone can mend a fallen button with ease. It's simple and you can watch something fab (like right now I've got sex and the city going on) and you feel like you've accomplished something at the end!!

I've never done a full face-lift buttonwise until today! This little sweater from forever 21 has been missing a button for ages and upon going through my little button drawer I found no good lookalikes. This is when I set my eyes upon a small baggy filled with these white vintage buttons. Not being used for anything! I can't believe I didn't do this sooner!

Here, for reference, are the much less attractive original buttons:

cut!

Got my first professional, at a salon and everything, haircut in probably about 3 or 4 years yesterday! Missy from Head to Toe did a bang up job on making my huge lump of hair look healthier n' prettier n' softer, I'd say! All yous guys in the greater Twin Cities area should check this place out, they're offering half off haircuts for new clients. GREAT DEAL.

Also, I was making a weird face in the photo, and then when I decided to photoshop it out I kind of went overboard. OH WELL.

p.s. today I showed up to work 4 hours early, and as a result while waiting to catch the bus home I saw the grossest pigeon I've ever seen in my life.

coming soon

a tiny preview of my new apartment.... and, of coure, a bryan.

p.s. right around the corner we got this, this, this and (WARNING: this website has a really cheezy theme song that plays right away, but the food is so good) this. I'm looking forward to the deliciousness.

personal space

Today I signed the lease for an apartment in beautiful St. Paul, Minnesota. I've been yearning to live in St. Paul for ages, it is beautiful and picturesque and you can't walk a step without running into a pub. This is perfect, as my favorite things are pretty things, more pretty things, and beer.

Anywho, this has gotten me daydreaming about decorating and other fun things, so it is time for me to pull out the ol' inspiration file. Here are a few of my faves from two of my favorite big interior blogs..
