Brick.

I'm always amazed at how roughly textured cold brick can bring such warmth to a room. 

Can't get enough.

Inspiration via anthropologie.com. It never fails.

Love for the Bookworm

Sadly, I lost the sweater competition to a man in a very similar sweater. Why are boys naturally funnier than girls? It's the sad truth. But I suppose I can't win the prize when I coordinate the party, so I accepted defeat with my head held high. (nerd alert, I know).

On a higher note, I did discover a wonderful gift for my favorite bookworms. Anthropologie (I promise I'm not typically so obsessed with the store to write about them every day, they just have awesome Christmas gifts and decor!) has an awesome collection of classics that look hand-stitched! One of my girlfriends is the queen bee of books, so I couldn't resist buying them (on sale!) to give her shelf a little glam!

Start the countdown

Anthropologie is counting down to the big day.

It's official: Christmas is coming, kids!

(Please humor the screenshots that will follow in the next few days!)

*****

J.Crew highlighted their pajama line in an email blast and I suddenly want to call in sick for the rest of the week and lounge in their flannel and cashmere.

Leave it to J.Crew to make sick days, sweatpants and sleepwear look glam. I love the black and white shot!

I kiss better than I cook.

Loving Anthropologie's latest kitchen line. Perfect for my new apartment, right Santa?

Even the whisk and rolling pin are amazing!

Girl Crush

After gushing one last time, I promise to move on from my obsessive reunion with Anthro. (Finally, I know). Their catalog conveniently arrived in the mail yesterday and I'm loving their Spring Collection, especially their model - isn't she glamorous?

You Melon Knob!

I feel like that would've been my favorite insult in 3rd grade. andd probably still in high school. Obviously very insulting, but I have to stay true to my "Comeback Queen" title. Insults like these made me an easy target for teasing, and my response was always similar to Chris Farley's in Tommy Boy, mumbling and stuttering followed by a ....shut up, Richard! Charming, I know.

Whether its providing your favorite comeback or favorite colorful hardware, Anthropologie never fails.

Ruggers

My cousin just got a puppy named Ruggers, and you should know by now that I'm a lover of all dogs, but these ruggers are cuter than his ;) Sorry cousin J, thank you, Anthro!

Distant Voyage

So it turns out I'm not legally blind but I'm still riding on an Anthro-high, and right now I'm swooning over this quilt. I will fall asleep tonight dreaming of it in my awesome new apartment (also a dream). It's definitely an investment in comparison to other comforters, but I feel like it'd last a lifetime, and you just can't put a price on that, right!?

Yikes.

Dear Decorator

I just discovered heaven. in an e-mail from Anthropologie. The subject should have been: "Dear (wannabe) Decorator, contents will make your wildest dreams come true." It probably should've also included a warning label-I spent wayy too long exhausting every category and every image, keeping me up way past my bedtime. And I think my eyesight decreased from a -6 to a -8 after this little obsession session....do you think that makes me legally blind? I blame Anthropologie. Then maybe they'll fund this freak fest.

Stay tuned - many category favorites to come!

Currently Craving: Something Mustard!

Mustard is typically not a color you'd find in my wardrobe. As shocking as this may be, my closet is filled with shades of blue. But after seeing it on some of my favorite blogging ladies, I'm hooked and on the prowl for the perfect mustard cardigan. I love it paired with a crisp white blouse and red lipstick!

Naomi, Rockstar Diaries

Sydney, The Daybook

Tania, What Would A Nerd Wear

Perhaps I could pair it with this skirt, half off from Anthropologie? Dangerous!
