A decade after 9/11

"This is an extremely media-savvy generation... They are extremely connected globally, and more engaged in events all over the planet than any other generation in history." 

- Chris Caruso from The Christian Science Monitor

"With all we know now: how to begin to address the enormity of the event? Our solution was not to shrink from its scale but to embrace it... It's neither a first draft of history nor a verdict - just a set of impressions from some point in between."

- From New York Magazine's 9/11 Encyclopedia.

Modcloth, where have you been all my life?

Pardon me while I wipe the drool from my mouth from how cute this Modcloth dress is! I see it now with flats and tights - worn in any variety of ways! How have I never visited this site before? Anyone order anything from here...? 

Speaking of versatile Fall clothes, check out some of J.Crew's new looks! (30% off until this Friday!)

This little number is featured in the "weekend" look. ...Dang, wish I looked this trendy on the weekends. 

Lovin the colored denim! Still looking for a pair to rock in the cool weather, though. 

I foresee cable knits as making a big comeback this Fall. They're just so dang classic. 

Did they ever go out of style? 

Happy shopping! 

Sharpie wallpaper

Would you ever sharpie your walls? Answer: yes, yes, I would. 

But only if I could guarantee it would look this cool! 

Cinnamon roll coma

What are your favorite treats on a cold day? I just ate a cinnamon roll the size of a tiny child (think Chipotle burrito here), and oh damn, was it good! 

I'd love to try this recipe for a group of friends. 

Tunes Tuesday: Little Dragon

This music video is so sad. I love the music, but won't listen to it often because it seems to lower ya spirits, don't you think? 

p.s. Cool shadow puppetry! Wonder how long it took to create. Happy Tuesday!

Looking forward to Fall

The heat finally broke here in Bloomington, and a few trees have started changing colors! Hooray for Fall! Here are a few long-awaited shares that always make me excited for the new season...

1. Cool scarves

2. Leaves changing colors - they make a long walk to class that much better!

3. Tights! Patterned, solid, with flats or heels, in New York or the Midwest, they're just too dang versatile! 

3.5 The return of Gossip Girl on Monday, Sept. 26!

4. Warm teas and coffees like Starbucks's pumpkin spice latte on a cold day all bundled up - yum! 

What are you most excited about this Fall? 

Cool wallpaper

Cute wallpaper, right? 

It's made of stickers!

I would never have guessed!
