Carly from thecollegeprepster posted this last week and it really resonated with me. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and that fate and “meant to be” are something to have faith in.

Happy Monday!

weekend

Don’t these lovely ladies make you itch for a dressy masquerade party? Reminds me of my junior prom…

A few things I’m loving this week:

I did some Dine Out Boston eating over the past two weeks. My favorites were the brussel sprout caesar salad at Met Back Bay, the Elote Con Chili atZocalo (never had it? find a Mexican or tapas place STAT), and the Papardalle with Lamb Ragu at Clink.

I’m re-reading Ella Enchanted for the zillionth time. That book is one of my very favorites and I’ve been falling in love with Ella and Char all over again.

Sur la Table sent me a mini catalogue; who knew there were so many fruit specific tools?!

I’m newly addicted to Veep.

Am I the only one who loved diagramming sentences?

JCrew does it again with this fun color film.

15 things you didn’t know about your iPhone.

And a few design tips from the masters.

Happy weekend-ing!!

three little spaces / light and calm

Not a lot to say today other than that I really am drawn to these orderly, calm, beautiful spaces.

wear / orange lipstick

As the weather starts to warm up (yes, I’m ignoring the pending snow in Boston), I become more and more drawn to bright, cheerful colors. Last year I bought Revlon lipstick in Orange Flip and LOVE it! This picture popped up in my Pinterest feed and reminded me it’s time to bust it out again soon.

What colors do you gravitate toward in warmer weather?
