anthropologie lovin' (slip edition)



In general, I feel like the slip has lost its place in my generations lexicon of attractive clothing. But like sexy hose and tights, I think they are making a come back. Who wouldn't want to wear one of these beautiful, even sexy slips? It is both retro and convenient. And for Anthropologie not all that overpriced.

I didn't like most of this post on apartment therapy, but this picture is so beautiful.

Pizza on the grill...mmmmm

I married a pizza lovin' man...and a damn good grilled pizza he makes:
Why yes, that is basil from our garden! The tomatoes are heirlooms from the grocer, because our still aren't growing...but look at what A might be getting for his birthday!

So delicious you don't even know.

If you attempt to grill pizza at home (and you should!) be sure to use a anti-stick spray on the grill and generously spread olive oil over both sides. It takes about five minutes on both sides and you will not succeed if your toppings aren't already prepared. Good luck!

My man comes through (part 2)


Its rhubarb in my hom
e!!!!!!

A brings me flowers all the time when he goes grocery shopping. Thanks to a lot of really sweet family and friends I have a plethora of amazing vases:

(Not the best picture, but the only one on my computer of all the vases)

and my sweet husband does what he can to fill them up. However, last night, I already had a vase full of flowers, so instead A found rhubarb and made me a bouquet...it might be the best gift since he returned home!!!!!!!

anthropologie lovin' (home edition)

I've been ogling this since October, but when the house fell through, I realized this rug was not meant to be yet.

These are some lawn chairs I can get behind (but not at that price).

I literally want this soooo bad, and I have the perfect place, but convincing A to spend 300 on a lamp is not too easy.

I love it, but I have too many school loans to pay $1000 on something I could buy at an antique shop or flea market and then stencil.

Anthro, our love is one in which I want you, but I can't afford you. Sigh.
