I’m not quite sure why, but to me this ensemble screams sexy librarian. A pair of cute brainy glasses would be the finishing touch. 1 Michael Antonio Otavia from Piperlime 2 First Flurry Cardigan from Anthropologie 3 Jennifer Tuton Oval Disc Necklace from Tobi 4 Satin limelight clutch from J.Crew 5 Verite Dress from Anthropologie

My old point-and-shoot Canon PowerShot finally bit the dust. But, it died in the most beautiful way. Instead of taking photos it now creates these beautiful aurora borealis-ish blurs. I think this is the best way possible for a camera to break. Don’t you?

I can’t wait to eat turkey next week, and when I say turkey I mean mashed potatoes and gravy. I think anything with gravy on it is delicious. It must be because I grew up in the south. Don’t forget to enter the snowflake card giveaway. I’ll announce the winner Monday!

Maybe I will try another peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Surely after 18 years I won’t still be tired [...]
