Johnny Tapete.

Want a good place for vintage wallpaper? Try Johnny Tapete. Geometrics, baroque prints, florals - oh my. Not cheap but since when is anything vintage affordable?

Polly Want A Cracker?

It's a parrot that opens up bottles of bubbly. Really not much else to say.

White.

Thank you Chloe - for inspiring my pale ass to only wear white this Spring - I will just lather myself in a faux bronzer simply so I can find intricate cut-out white dresses like this. Swoon-ing.

Feeling Blue...

and purple together! Love this color combo.

Tighten Those Purse Strings.

I know, I know, all this talk of an economic crisis has us all in a tizzy. But look at what $10 can still get you!

An owl plaque to adorn boring walls for a home whose mortgage you can't afford!


God I'm gloomy. Sigh. That was fun. Money can definitely buy happiness.

Cafe Chair.

These bistro chairs over at Williams-Sonoma Home (which by the way is my new favorite store - they just opened in NYC and its amazing) are gorge. I wish I could transform a kitchen into an outdoor Parisian cafe. But alas, I'll only be able to sit on this rattan and beech weave if I ever make it to Europe - damn you recession!!!

Costumes.

Of course I bought my costume last night. I went "just to look" and ended up leaving with one in hand. I have no self-control - but I shall not reveal it until we're a little closer to the big day! Has anyone perused etsy for costumes yet? I have found some goodies!

Alice in Wonderland anyone?


Seafaring Pirate?


Belle!
