Dreaming of Jorts...

Last night I had a wonderful dream about wearing jean cutoffs and a white button-down.

Yep... welcome to my mind.

Prippy Viewing... Lola Versus and Les Mis

Lola Versus is on my summer movie list for sure.

Have you all heard of it? I think it looks funny... and the preview definitely makes it seem relatable for anyone who has dated in their late 20's/early 30's. Plus, I'm a Greta Gerwig fan.



And... I. Can't. Wait for Les Misérables...although I'm in no hurry for December to come.

Thanks to Erica over at North Meets South for posting the trailer. The 12 year old girl in me is jumping up and down.

Here's a very funny NY Observer review of Anne's singing... I still love ya, girl!

Friendship... In Jewelry Form

Apparently, today is "Shopping Thursday!"

I'm nostalgic for summers at the Jersey Shore spent making friendship bracelets... and I think one of these sparkly numbers, by Doloris Petunia, would be perfect for the months ahead.

My sister, who sent me the Etsy link, would always be devastated when she had to cut her arm and ankle-full of bracelets off at the end of summer to go back to school.

Her bracelets were "loved" (read: gross), but full of good memories.

The Bag That Got Away...

I've been obsessed with this Marc By Marc Jacobs nylon bag. I could imagine using it 100 different ways and I the pattern is just, well, so me!

Problem is... I can't find this bag anywhere. At all.

Was this from last season and I'm just off my shopping game?

If there are any Marc Jacobs Guardian Angels out there who know where/if this bag is being sold, I would love you forever for letting me know!

UPDATE: My sis found the bag... and SURPRISE... it is a diaper bag! I had no clue and nope... not preggers. But bag has been found! Thanks, C!

Do You Get Childhood Homesick...

Do you ever miss the area where you grew up?

I know it is a romantic thing to do, but I've recently found myself daydreaming about Philadelphia and the beautiful surrounding area.

Philly definitely has personality... and historic homes, cheesesteaks, crazy "passionate" sports fans (go E-A-G-L-E-S), an amazing foodie scene (Federal Donuts = fried chicken, coffee, donuts), nearby beaches, fantastic dive bars, beautiful old clubs, and charming streets that I can wander around for days.

Zillow and Redfin haven't helped me...

And looking up homes in the gorgeous neighborhoods making up the Main Line and Chestnut Hill has provided a bit of a danger in dreaming, especially since the housing market is less competitive than DC.

I'd love to know if this happens to you... and where you're from and where you live now.

Rosie Pope... BFF In My Head

I have a few celeb BFFs in my head... and Rosie Pope, from Bravo's Pregnant In Heels, is one of them.

Bravo casting gods hit gold with Rosie, in my opinion. She never fails to roll her eyes or add a pithy comment after a ridic statement by one of her mama clients. Her business savvy is fantastic. And she always looks spot on.

I also get a total kick out of her show... especially when the Bravo geniuses show a West Village townhouse as the exterior shot for a couple who clearly lives in Queens/Jersey/Long Island. It never ceases to make me laugh my ass off.

And after I'm done with my chuckle fest over the insanely inaccurate editing, there's the delightful Rosie!
