{ Perfect Evening }

Ideal Weeknight by cbrown52290 featuring a cable sock

Don't mind if I do! This looks like the perfect way to spend a night (or a rainy, lazy day) alone. 

I've been dying to read Lunch in Paris for months. Has anyone read it?

The rainy weather here has me feeling sleepy and lazy. I love the rain if I get to stay cozy indoors. Unfortunately, there is still much to be done before the weekend so I better stop dreamin' and start movin'.  I've been feeling pretty stressed lately, and I think a cuppa tea and a new book would do me lots of good at some point in the near future.

As per usual, I must head off to class and work. Boo. I am getting all kinds of antsy to graduate and move on to a new chapter. Oh, Caitlin. Slow your roll.

I hope you all have a wonderful day. Thank you very much for stopping by.

{ A Reverie...}

Just daydreaming about what it would be like to be one of those lucky ducks who gets to spend Fall in New York City. I haven't seen this magical place in way too long. 

My reality is that I must now go make breakfast and get dressed for my long day of classes. Le sigh. 

Eye on the prize. Eye on the prize.

Hope you all are having a great week. Thanks so much for stopping by.

I was playing around on Polyvore and ended up creating a mood board for a feminine and masculine inspired living room. Every time I go furniture browsing with Trevor it becomes clear to me what a divide there is between men and women when it comes to decorating. Even if you both have good taste there is a lot to compromise on! I love that the modern, vintage, leather chair offsets the feminine sequin pillows. This particular chair is obviously way out of most people's budget, but any leather chair with masculine lines would do the trick.  I wouldn't mind living here one bit. No sirry bob.

Is it just me or does West Elm have the best throw pillows ever, lately? I love.

Well, I'm off to get this day started. Thank you all very much for stopping by.

{ Life Lately }

1. Celebrated Kates 21st birthday this weekend! It ended up being too dark to take pictures with my Iphone (which is the only camera I had) but I did get to snap this picture of the pre-party at my place :). We toasted with champagne, ate red velvet cupcakes, and indulged in girl talk before the big night out.

2. Spent Sunday with my new fresh flowers, a cup of coffee and re-reading some old books and magazines.  (along with the not as fun stuff like homework)

3. I've been daydreaming a lot about Prague lately. I've read so many things that talk about how magical it is. Some say even more so than Paris. Plus, I'm almost entirely Czechoslovakian, so that means I must go :). Twould be a wonderful study abroad option. {source for photo}

I'm feeling  a little under the weather tonight. I didn't get much sleep last night and I'm a little worried I've caught something going around. Better get some OJ and some vitamins STAT.

Thank you all for stopping by today! I hope you all had a wonderful day. lovelovelove.

{ Celebrate }

This weekend is my girl Kate's 21st birthday! I'll be spending the weekend celebrating, drinking cocktails, dancing, and trying to keep my granny self awake past 11pm. There are lots of festivities ahead, so I'll be sure to snap some pictures. It should be a wonderful weekend :).  For now, I'm going to go grab a pumpkin spice latte and get this day started off right!

Hope you all have an amazing weekend. Enjoy it! 

And also, thank you very much for stopping by.

{ Comfy cozy }

I woke up today reaching for anything comfy and cozy that I could curl up in. I think my brain is going too many directions lately because I just can't seem to get rested and energized this week. I believe it's getting to be the time to break out the Vitamin D and amp up my workouts again to try to perk myself up. Also, I woke up this morning and realized I was out of coffee. Isn't that a horrible way to wake up? I know I can stop and pick up a coffee on the way to class, but I'm the kind of gal who needs caffeine as soon as my toesies hit the flosies.

 

I have to go get ready for class, but we all know if I had it my way I would be getting dressed in an oversized cable knit sweater, grabbing a pumpkin spice latte and heading to browse a flea market :). Sigh. What I would give.

Hope you all have a wonderful day, thank you all very much for stopping by.

P.S. I'm going to have to start scheduling blog posts for the morning so that I have it in me to blog about something other than cozy beds and coffee. I'm on it ;).

{ Today I'm happy }

Yesterday was a terrible, no good, very bad day in my book. It was just one of those days that everything went utterly haywire. But I'm keeping my spirits up for the day. Especially because I've got these things making me happy:

1. Memories of a great weekend spent with Treasure 2. Crunchy leaves under my boots 3. Coffee and a vanilla almond biscotti 4. Fresh Tulips from Whole Foods 

I hope you guys had a better start to your week than I did, but if you didn't, there are still 4 more days in the work week to make up for it :). 

I'm off to make some breakfast and get dressed for class and work. Have a wonderful day, everyone. Thank you very much for stopping by.
