Just Sweet Love

What's in my bag?

I thought this would be fun to post. Since the weather is getting warm, I'm into wearing across-the-shoulder bags. Pairing them with fun dresses always puts me in a good mood. Mine is from The Sak. 

- 2010 calendar that I carry everywhere 

- Marc Jacobs coin purse

- Pens

- iPhone & iPhone cozy (gifted from Janel) 

- Makeup bag filled with different types of chapstick, lip gloss & salves

- Vintage sunglasses

- Fun stickers 

- Stack of my cards I just finished making to send off to a friend

 

Show me yours!

Monday Inspirations

Hi there, I recently finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It was fantastic! Coincidentally, the movie just came out and for the first time in a long time, I felt as if a movie has lived up to the book. I've started the second, The Girl Who Played With Fire and have nothing but high hopes for it. 

So my Monday Inspirations post this week is an homage to authors, books and coveted libraries. Read on!

 

 

Haute camera

 

For all you camera aficionados, wouldn't this be another great addition to your collection? It's striking, classic, stylish and 24-carat gold! In addition, the Leica M3 is tiny-tiny [fits in the palm of your hand] 

Functionality: 5.0 megapixel and can record video in AVI format.

Five things [Friday]

Happy end of the week! I hope you guys have a fantastic weekend! Vintagejohnny and I are going to a friend's housewarming party and [hopefully] buying plants for our garden.

In the meanwhile, here are five things I'm currently crushing: 

1. Whitney Smith Pottery. Her ceramic vases, bowls and cupcake stands are soooo delicate and pretty! 

2. Glasses I covet!

3. I am currently reading this book and it is AMAZING. I seriously cannot put it down.  

 

4. I la la love tea but this would make drinking my after supper refreshment so much more fun!

 

5. A Topsy Turvy Strawberry Planter! Man o man, I'm excited!

Mellow yellow

Don't they look so fun? 

Braids for Spring

I'm growing my hair out specifically so I can get braids like these. Aren't they just soooo lovely?

He's stolen my heart

Tonight I received a special package in the mail that made my heart melt. I've been tracking Zombun for quite some time now, just lusting after him from afar from plushie genius, Lisa, from MN. 

A few days ago, I was so sad when I read he found a home in North Dakota. Little did I know he was making a pit stop in North Dakota before arriving at his real home in Los Angeles! And this is all thanks for my wonderful friend, Lindsay from Pixies and Bears!!

In addition to Zombun, Lindsay handmade these yummy button magnets for me and included a very fly Zombie Travel Journal. 

 

I'm so happy my heart could burst!

According to Random.org, the winner is this lovely face:

 

Thank you so much Lindsay! I'll be shipping it out to you this week.

Please stayed tuned because the next giveaway you definitely don't want to miss! Hint: it's an Apple product that rhymes with bano that has video recording capabilities.

Quiet Days, Bright Nights

I wanted to share a glimpse at the art journal I've been working on, put on by the lovely Miss Vivs. 

This was a big challenge because I'm very private. A lot of my feelings go unexpressed because I store them in my head.. which is quite strange for a journalist because it should be the exact opposite.
