we need a pep talk.

"Create something that will make the world awesome."

If you haven't seen this yet, you really should. 

santa claus is coming

...to town directly at you!

indeed.

I, for one, can't argue.

[thanks for this little reminder on your strawberry lemonade, Pret.]

cutest hair I ever did see.

I challenge you to tell me any hair you've ever seen that's cuter than my niece's is here in this picture. Add the cute hair to the adorably cute face, and I practically swoon every time I look at her!

 I'm dying to try this out for myself...I'm taking fashion tips from my 11 year old niece, now. Yep.

give me these, or give me death

just kidding, just kidding. That's a little dramatic! But, seriously, how adorable!

[Kate Spade on Gilt. They're no longer available. Glad I snapped this screenshot to look at them!]

polka dots

My regular, old black converse have definitely seen better days. I've had them almost 4 years now, and they look every bit of 4 years old. But, for some reason, I can't bear to get rid of the perfectly broken in and worn out pair that I still wear so often. But if ever I decide to retire them, I'm keeping these in mind. Aren't they adorable! I love the gray and the cute polka dots to make them so much more girly. Ah, cute. You can get your very own pair at Delia's!

mom & maggie say hello!

Made my weekend.

fighting crime.

...until the little sleepy batman could fight crime no more.

what I did this Friday night:

I became a godmother to this adorable little puppy! I accompanied my friend, Megan, to pick up this little cutie!! Meg was still a tiny bit hesitant on whether she should get a dog or not...and she wanted someone to go with her to take a look at the puppy. (And, of course, I'm always one for going to look at puppies.) Once we got there, who could have turned down this little face? We knew immediately he was a keeper. Luckily, this little guy's sister had a potential new owner or I might have snagged one for myself too...but for now, I'll settle on being the best puppy godmother ever!

baby lap giraffes

I can't get enough of these!!!

I signed the wait list for one of these adorable animals today, but unfortunately there were 34,000+ ahead of me in line. So, for now, I'll just keep looking at my baby lap giraffe online in his (or her) natural habitat: here

for maggie

Maggie, I hope you see this!

what a great way to wrap a gift

Next time I have any scraps of yarn, I'm going to make the most of it! This is so beautiful...and LA, for both of our sakes, I hope your birthday is the one that falls when I'm looking to use up some yarn.

[Thanks for sending this link, Carrie!}

happy happy love-day

I love these cute little vintage Valentines cards...

This sheep looks like it has the right idea to me, no?
