What I Wore-Two new faves!

Hi hi friends! I have not done an outfit post in quite a while, mostly because during the holidays all I’m thinking of is giving special gifts so my posts and mind have really been in the giving mode. BUT I have gotten a few additions to the wardrobe that I’m super excited about and wanted to share. (sweater-thrifted target; shirt-unknown, sorry it’s from college; boots-miz mooz; scarf-sustainable nyc) So my first new favorite thing is this fantastic green scarf… View Post

I Heart the Internet-Be daring

” We must dare, and dare again, and go on daring. ” Georges Jacques Danton Just something to keep in mind in your new year :). Above: Oxfam’s lookbook-if this doesn’t convince you thrifted items fit right into modern times, I don’t really know what will. Looking to green up this year? Here are some great green resolutions. I have an embarrassing amount of Ray Ban’s so I love this little ode to their timeless designs :P. Mmmmm no guilt… View Post

Smile File-One last thing!

Hi Friends! I have been a bit absent this week suffering from a little post holiday fever but I didn’t want 2011 to pass by and not say thank you.

I am so grateful for each and every visit and all the wonderful people I’ve been able to meet and get to know because of this blog-it’s… View Post

I Heart the Internet-Be a Busy Bee

“It’s not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised. The mosquito is swatted.”   Mary O’Connor I thought this quote apt for this time of year. We are all tasked to be so busy with holiday parties and gift shopping but really those are all good things to be busy with-it means you have people in your life you cherish and love you back. Now friends, here are some hearted links for you… View Post

A Gift That Gives Back…for the Reader

I’m a big believer in buying gifts that give back so instead of getting your bookworm friend/mom/sister/brother/dad a Barnes & Nobles gift card this year how about a gift certificate to Better World Books. Not only does Better World Books support high impact literacy projects in the U.S and around the world but for every book bought a book donation is made to someone in need. Other awesome things FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING and in case you’re worried about your carbon… View Post

I Heart the Internet-No One is Perfect

Hi Friends! So I was completely missing in action last week because I was so sick! Really I have been eating nothing but chicken noodle soup, drinking all variations of tea, loading up on vitamin c and getting all the sleep I can possibly get. Hope you all understand! Today’s quote: “Even monkeys fall from trees.”- Japanese Proverb If this was a year ago, I would be much harder on myself for not posting but I’ve learned to just do… View Post
