I'll Just Watch the Cuteness From Afar.

This is how I feel when I see people walking their adorable pets around my little community outside my apartment. They're fun to look at and awe about, but do I want to wake up in the wee hours of the morning to walk my very hyper puppy on a leash around Addison Circle in 33 degree weather in my pajamas? No, I don't. Therefore, I'll admire your young little dog from a distance and think to myself how I love the extra sleep I get in my warm bed.

Hope your week is going by as fast as mine!

A Toast To..

..some really fabulous shoes.

I would be happy with every pair sitting in my closet. And when I say happy, I really mean thrilled. Ecstatic even.

I've had all kinds of music playing through my speakers lately, but I've kept coming back to my acoustic loves recently. Maybe it goes best with the sun streaming in my windows or my laziness on the couch, either way, this is what I've been turning up.

Sit Under The Shade.

As I'm decorating my new home, I've got so many ideas going in my head, yet I feel as though I haven't implemented any of them. I was browsing some of my favorite sites the other day for inspration and ideas that were steal-able* (as in easy to do and won't require all of my paycheck) and I came across some great stuff. Not necessarily steal-able*, but great. So may I please...

Have my couch under a tree?

And make a table out of adorable books?

I would love to take a layer from my table and read under the shade.

*Yes, I make up my own words. So sue me.
