matt's hat

If you're a fan of USA Network's White Collar, you will have noticed that Matt Bomer has popularized the small brimmed fedora (sometimes called the "stingy brim"). Give your man a chance to recreate Matt's debonair look, with a little help from Hartford York. And don't forget to watch the return of White Collar on USA, January 19!

I love enormous hair bows. I think it stems from my childhood fascination with Samantha, the most popular American Girl doll among my friends.

Laura from She Draws is moving soon and needs to clear out some of her inventory -- a perfect opportunity for you to snatch up some of her wonderful merchandise!! My personal favorites are the record headphones tin and polaroid charm necklace, but her whole shop is chock-full of adorable illustrated goodies! Here's the link -- go take a look and help make her move a little lighter :)

a little dose of loveliness

And it has the most adorable name. The "Washing & Hoping & Dreaming Dish Rack" *dies of cuteness* Unfortunately it's $42.99 so I found myself staring at my wire hangers wondering if I could twist them into something similar...

I've been internet-less for a while, which has it's up side -- no possible way I could spend money if I wasn't even connected. The down side? As soon as I got back online, one of my first destinations was Modcloth, followed quickly by Forever21. Oh gosh! It's hard not to get sucked into this glorious world of berets, beautiful dresses, the first sightings of fall coats (my weakness!!) and gorgeous unnecessary kitchen accessories.

ps. What does it say about me that I had the hardest time avoiding "rack" puns?
