The temps are still hanging out in the 60s around here, but on the weather this morning I happened to catch that a cold front is moving in this weekend and bringing the 40s with it! Being the coat-obsessed gal that I am, I began daydreaming about wearing all of my favorite cold weather regalia. And then I thought about the Soia & Kyo coats I’d checked out on sale last week and have yet to own. {via for me, for you}
This poster makes me giggle. I’ve never seen anything so risqué done in such a clever manner. I want it!
I waited. I waited and waited. And then I waited just a little more for good measure. And now I can’t wait anymore to start posting about the holidays! My little mind is running rampant with all sorts of projects to whip up, gifts to give and decorations to make. Mind you, only about 25% of my grand plans will come to fruition, but I digress…
Christmas is only 45 days away (gasp with me) and I’m beginning. Here. Now.
With this Tab Sticker Festive Garland Trim from Nice Package. Don’t you love how the end result looks like a stand of light bulbs or ornaments? I do. You can pick up the metallic tab stickers in either vintage silver or antique gold in their shop. Grab some Baker’s Twine while you’re at it, then take a look at the tutorial and trim away!
Brown Sugar and Ginger Marinade. A ridiculously simple marinade that I can’t wait to try my hand at. She used it on beef kabobs, but I’m leaning towards chicken breast. And soon.

The photographer behind this photo is only sixteen (which I can say being THIRTY and all…) and her work is breathtaking. At sixteen I was way too concerned with boys to have a passion about anything else. Check out her flickr photostream for photo after beautiful photo.
When I was first introduced to The Paper Apartment a few months ago, the very first thing I noticed was that I loved every single thing. Usually one or two items catch my eye in a shop, but here I didn’t know where to avert my eyes for fear of whipping out my Visa and buying ten of each! Yeah, it’s that good.
