in bloom

A picture with the pretty flowers, pictures of the pretty flowers, and let's throw some yummy ripe strawberries in for good measure.

we all scream for ice cream

I bet these 3 little films are going to be cute. Rachel, I'm all for indulging too!!!



P.S. Rachel you will always be Summer to me!

Ahh! I keep getting caught up in the crazy whirlwind of life. Please forgive me once again for my flaky posting. Lemme catch you up on some things with a little picture show.


out and about in D.C


Chris' mother sent us some macarons when she went to NYC. Before Chris devoured them all I snuck myself 3.




Spring flowers




I actually went to NYC myself for the IBS hair show. I'm not sure why I only took pictures of the city and not any of cool hairstyles. Silly me.






Watching Iron Chef has got me more into cooking lately. It's resulted in me spending a chunk of my tax return on new tools [like my new Staub dutch oven!!!] for my little kitchen. One of my new toys is a digital kitchen scale. I bought this specifically for making macarons of course! We [thanks Chris for all that sifting you did!] made these vanilla ones on Friday. They turned out pretty good especially for us first timers. We are going to make more tonight!


After slaving away in the kitchen Chris thought it would be a good idea to make me take a picture.


aaaand that's about it.

meet panda-chan!

Say "Hello!" to my newest addiction to Land of Cuteseas *drumroll please*...Panda-Chan! Panda-Chan was ordered for a friend of mine for Valentines Day so I hope she loves it! Speaking of Valentines Day...does anyone have any special plans? Tonight we are doing our special Valentines Day dinner and the one and only L'Auberge Chez Francois. I can't wait to stuff my face with authentic delicious French cuisine. Yum!





Oh, I also wanted to share some tunes for your listening pleasure. Bon appetit!

My new work in progress!

to sum it all up

My weekend consisted of:


picking out new fabric for a new plush



snuggling and taking naps with my boops





going to class



making cookies and eating yummy food





traveling to enchanted snowy parks to take pictures with the boyfriend






and etc. etc.

outside

Here are 2 new pics from the boyfriend. We tried to take pictures out at this bridge, but I just couldn't do it in 20 degrees freezing ice cold weather wearing ONLY a dress, tights and shoes. So in the car it was!







Oh! Last night we had a snow storm come and visit us and this is what I woke up too! Beautiful right?! I love it! I even had fun digging out our cars from all the snow. I'm also deciding that it's too dangerous for me to drive to school! It's not playing hookie if it's not safe to drive right???

blue valentine

Saw this trailer today and it gave me goose bumpies. Can't wait for it to come out.

I've been busy with school, work, taking care of the pets & slaving away for the boyfriend. Oh, I've also been busy making this little fella too. What do you think?

last minute

For all you slackers out there that need an extra stocking stuffer or a little gift, you should check out the body washes from Philosophy. A friend bought be the strawberry ice cream and vanilla birthday cake ones for my birthday and they are amazing! They make my skin super soft and they are great to use for shaving. Plus, they smell super good! They also have Christmas scents too. I bought my Christmas ones a couple weeks ago and I love them.





Oh! I also wanted to share a couple pictures from our ski/snowboarding adventure last Sunday. Good times and good eats. Cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate for dinner...yes please!

burrr

Ahh it's been freezing lately! Last week it snowed and we decided to go out and play in it! Have any of you guys been blessed/cursed with snow? I personally enjoy it! There's something about it that's magical to me.

P.S. Check out my newest little skirt. Cute right?! I love the little matryoshka dolls.

Christmas time is here

Did a little decorating over the week! I would like to do a little more, but this all we had a chance to do so far. Have any of you ladies/gents started decorating for the holidays?




Last Saturday we had some friends over to do Christmas activities. We got a little tipsy and made the decision to make ginger bread houses at 2 a.m.. I think they came out great considering the circumstances! This one definitely beats the first one we made last year.






My best friend actually bought me this Christmas edition Alice in Wonderland tea set for my birthday! Isn't it darling?!

playing catch up

Wow...It's been a while since my last post! I've been crazy busy lately with school and the day to day activities that have been thrown my way. Now the holidays are here...Lord have mercy on my soul! Here is a little picture catch up. Oh, and I'll try and be a good girl and post more often!


Halloween










In November, Deanna with Adhesive Fashion & One Stop Pin Up came to visit us! Here are some of the pictures we came up with.






Chris also wanted to take some pictures that day too...


lookbook



Other things that happened in November include: seeing The Morning Benders play at the Black Cat [ swoon times 1 million ], my 26th birthday, & visiting my family for Thanksgiving!

On to December!

Last week a fine fellow named Michael Woodward wanted to take some pictures. Here is one that we really liked from that shoot. You like???



I'll have to fill you all in on some of the goodies I've acquired in between then some other time! Anyone excited for the winter holidays? I know I am! What do you guys want for Christmas???
