All I want for Christmas is you...

Sigh. I don't think I can afford to spoil myself this year. It's always nice to dream....

Hairspiration Part Deux

Camera phones are a genius invention. I spotted this poster at Target the other day and decided I'd like my hair to look like this and so I snapped away. This model is gorgeous but I think I can pull it off.

I'm gonna turn 25 in two weeks. Eek.

On my to-do list...

1. Finish lots of homework.

2. Finish my article for Imprint Magazine.

3. Last but certainly not least, organize my damn closet. It's in dire need of some structure.

Current Inspiration

After reading about them on Smitten, I became rather obsessed with these two adorable people's blog, rockstar diaries. They are the most ridiculously adorable couple in the world! I spent all my downtime at work on Wednesday reading the blog and in awe of their pictures. Two things that I got from this new obsession of mine:

1. These two have the sweetest most loving marriage and I would absolutely dive into the matrimonial pool if I was guaranteed a union like this one would be mine as well.

2. Naomi makes me want to have long hair, bangs and freckles. She is so goddamn gorgeous!

Le sigh.

Most certain wonder

After a huge, delicious meal yesterday, I sat down to watch Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and fell in love with it. The imagery and cinematography was magical and made me feel like a kid again. Natalie Portman looked so adorable back in her short hair days and she wears the cutest little outfits. Jason Bateman, well, he's always amazing. But my favorite part? Dustin Hoffman's dialogue. My favorite line of his is "Life is an occasion, rise to it." Isn't that a wonderful quote?

I highly recommend this movie, it will make you laugh, cry and wish that you could be Natalie Portman.

A post for Joanna...

I don't know if I'm the marrying type. If I am, I imagine I'd elope or pull a Carrie and Big. Despite this, I like looking at pictures of brides, dresses, weddings and such. Lately, I've been enjoying the newly engaged lovely Joanna's wedding posts and thought of her when I found these pictures.

A hairdresser friend of mine had a chance to participate in a photoshoot put on by the Bride Society at a local cupcake joint. These are my favorite images from the shoot. What a delightful concept, pretty dresses and cupcakes!

I'm toast...

So a couple of weeks ago, I decided to christen my forearm with some permanent ink. I chose the above little happy toast that my friend Kevin drew (long story). I was inspired by Paige's post, about tats on celebrities and what her readers have, to share mine with you.

Yesterday, I was checking NBC for deleted scenes of The Office and lo and behold, I found the above scene complete with....a cartoon toast! I think my tattoo has started a phenomenon.
