first look: zac posen for target

my obsession with target just got worse.


behold zac posen's line for target. gorgeous, colorful dresses with posen's trademark twist. my favorite pieces include a strapless blue dress with a gorgeous ruffle skirt and a dress with snaps on it that allows for custom bustling and draping. here's hoping to god/allah/zeus/baby jesus my nearest target gets some of these pieces - and that they don't sell out before i get there myself!

wishful wednesday: the kindle

apparently the boy was going to get me one of these last year, but it didn't pan out. heartbreak! i never thought i'd actually say i want one, but i am an avid, voracious reader, destroying books like a hyena rips apart a dead zebra - though perhaps without the blood. i am not one who can savor a book, much like i cannot savor a dessert - i must eat it all now, in one bite preferably. i'm usually tired most mornings because i stayed up too late reading the night before. and the idea of having nearly every book at my fingertips, 60 seconds away from reading, in one device i can carry with me...it's more than tempting. i think i'm going to take the bait.

and this from the girl who enjoys the smell of books. seriously, i'll lean into my book and smell the pages. i love that first crack of a brand new book that has never been opened and will even buy the book buried in the shelf just so i can be the first one to open it. all that love, and i still think i want a kindle - if only because i'm running out of room for all my romance novels.

i love j. crew, but ... no.

jeggings with men's oxfords? there are no words.

wishful wednesday: any pair of louboutins

well, actually this pair. i'm a little obsessed. they're just gorgeous, aren't they? classic. goes with everything. and i love how they're called "very jaws" pumps.

price is not important, mkay?

yes, i copied that last bit from east side bride. i love her. sue me.

a love letter to jonsi

ok, he's gay and has been with alex for forever. but i don't care. i love this man. he's a genius. his new album is out today, and i'm listening to it right now. i have a headache and am being propped up today by this man's creativity and genius via music. it's like a child's dream world in a song - or nine songs, in this case. beautiful doesn't begin to describe it. do yourself a favor and sit down with this album. the world is more lovely because of it.
