Hot dots
Jul 22, 2010
What a great trip to Florida. I spent 3 days relaxing on the beach, enjoying the water and searching for sea life. I ate tons of food, drank lots of beer and took a bunch of fun photos.
Eric and I spent the first morning exploring the sponge docks. There were tons of tacky beach stores selling sponge related items. Also notable- the entire area looked like a tacky little Greece. Too fun! We also went to a special glass blowing exhibit with Eric's parents.
Eric's family was extremely friendly and welcoming. They were already making fun of me after knowing me for a few hours, and I took that as a good sign. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with them and hope that they'll have me again in the future.
I'm Wearing:
Top: Target
Skirt: Primark
Shoes: NY&Co.
Shades: c/o GA press office, London
Necklace: made by my friend Elana
A girl after my own heart
Jul 11, 2010
Zooey hid in my closet when I brought out the vacuum. Clearly she feels safe around cute shoes. I knew there was a reason I adopted her!
I've been having so many parenting moments lately- I get excited when she takes interest in a new toy, when she follows me around the apartment and when she conquered her fear of my bathroom! I'm about to leave her for the first time and I feel horribly guilty.
Still, if she loves my favorite things (shoes), she'll definitely understand the necessity for a B&N date with Pammy. We're off to get Starbucks and read wedding magazines- it's a tradition and we haven't done it in a while. I'm so excited!
*And no, I am not getting married, but a girl can still plan!
It's brown don't frown
Jun 18, 2010
Today was pretty gloomy, so brown seemed fitting. Still, I managed to stay smiley for most of the day because my "intern" was in. Apparently, she spent a ton of time picking out an outfit just to impress me. Awww! I also let her draw on my whiteboard, and although she erased it soon after drawing it, I saw her write my name and then something along the lines of "wears cute shoes, accessories and clothes."
Can I adopt her? Seriously!!
I'm
wearing:
Shirt: Ann Taylor Loft
Belt: Primark
Shoes: DSW?
Necklace: Made especially for me by my best friend, Becca
Halloween 2010
Jun 17, 2010
Eric thinks we should dress up as Katy and snoop for Halloween. I think he's spot on. I so want to wear that dots dress! Now, where we're going to find something that even remotely resembles Snoop's suit is beyond me.
Blogger date with Kate!
Jun 16, 2010
You know how people say they read a blog and feel like they know the writer personally? Well, that's how it felt with Kate. There was very little time for awkward silence as we had a lot of "catching up" to do. (It's weird that you can catch up with someone you've never met, but I guess the Internet has that kind of effect on people.)
We had delicious brunch with my fam and even walked around a street fair near Hopkins. There were loads of artists selling their creations, as well as people selling seemingly random items. Even more notable: there was an entire grassy area covered in hula hoops just waiting to be....hula hooped (?) with. You know, just for fun.
Seriously, how cute does Kate look? She told me I wasn't allowed to wear anything too "chic" because she couldn't fit a lot in her duffle. I purposefully wore something pretty plain so she'd feel comfortable and guess what? She totally out-cuted me!
So I'm curious, has anyone else met up with their blog friends in real life? Did it turn out ok or was it super awkward? Do tell!
My cactus stilleto
Jun 14, 2010
This is the perfect gift for me for a few reasons:
- It's a shoe
- I can add it to my garden balcony
- Cacti are hard to kill
Sequins: not just for show choir
Jun 7, 2010
When I told Eric (the guy responsible for my AMAZING new blog design) that I was wearing a gold sequin skirt today, he said he only associates sequins with show choir.
Please. This outfit is so not show choir- although honestly, some of the kids in Glee have great style.
I scored this skirt at Loehmann's a few weeks ago. It's Romeo and Juliet Couture, and I've been dying to incorporate it into a work-appropriate outfit ever since Kristin wrote about summer sparkles here.

wearing:
Skirt: Romeo and Juliet Couture via Loehmann's
Shoes and necklace: Primark
Anyway, I'm off to pick up the boy at the airport today. I haven't seen him in over a month!
Baltimore like tourists
Jun 3, 2010
Eric came down from Boston to hang out with me, see Baltimore, and do a little design work on my blog (coming soon). Though we were confined to the apartment for a good amount of time waiting for Comcast to arrive, we did make it out to Fell's Point for some window shopping and a delicious meal.
Eric and I definitely recommend you try Meli- an American bistro in Fell's Point. Meli, which means "honey" in Greek, offers a variety of different dishes, most of which include a delicious touch of honey. They also have amazing drinks, like my "adult" blueberry lemonade.
This weekend included a lot of alcohol, so needless to say, I made Eric do most of the driving.
After our trip to Fell's Point and the long wait for Comcast, we drove back downtown, this time to Canton, where we had THE BEST DINNER EVER. You should definitely check out Blue Hill Tavern the next time you're in town. Their food is both beautiful and delicious, service is quick and the drinks are amazing!
Eric has vowed to come back at least once a year...not because he wants to visit me, but because he wants to have Blue Hill Tavern's silken pie. It was just that good.
A glimpse
May 17, 2010
Here are some of my favorite shots from my weekend in Boston. Don't worry, there are tons of actual graduation photos to come, I just didn't take them! All of these snaps, minus the cute kitty, were taken on a sunny afternoon spent working on a project with my friend Eric. He's one of the most creative people I know, and you can see it in practically everything he does. From his amazing homemade ravioli to his tasteful yet stylish apartment, Eric possesses a truly unique ability to make ordinary things beautiful.
Expect some of Eric's amazing talent on the blog in the near future. You will be shocked, wowed and possibly a little jealous!
And yes, Eric did take me on his Vespa. Lesson learned: don't wear a sundress while riding on the back of a Vespa unless you want the world to get a great view of your legs.
