Happy Weekend.

+ I know it’s the weekend, but it’s never too early to get things organized for the other five days

+ I wish my backyard were bigger because this Backyard Scrabble project is begging to be a part of the decor

+ Pretty Marimekko desktop wallpapers

+ Receiving one of these balloon invitations would make me positively giddy

+ Check out Dating Brian, a social media experiment of sorts chronicling his thirty dates in thirty days

+ A brilliant idea for recycling crayon nubs with the most beautiful results

+ This 80 Penguins ad campaign had me rolling

+ Measure your attitude by the length of your skirt with these rad leggings

+ I really want to read this book (doesn’t hurt that it’s easy on the eyes)

Happy Weekend!

PS: Don’t forget, you have until Monday at 9am CST to enter the Make Believe giveaway

Win It: Make Believe.



A few weeks ago I posted about Make Believe and their super rad tees. I love how timeless the designs are, you could have bought one yesterday or found it in the back of your dad’s closet. All of you seemed to fall for them just as hard as I have, and now you have a chance to win one of two shirts – Old Glory or Silver Geronimo. (Their site scrolls sideways if you want to check out the rest, including the BP shirt, where $3 of each sale goes to help the animals effected in the oil spill.)

To Enter, Leave a Comment and Tell Me:
1. About your favorite go-to t-shirt
2. Your email address
3. Do it all before Monday, July 26th at 9m CST

The Fine Print: Please leave only one comment. Those who do not leave a valid email address will be disqualified. Winners will be selected randomly and contacted Monday, July 26th.

Conroy & Wilcox.

Conroy & Wilcox is an independently owned New York-based company specializing in heirloom-quality jewelry. To say that I’m enamored with their unusual stones and cuts would be an understatement. To say that I’ve changed my mind yet again about gold would be nothing new around these parts.
