it's 9:12pm...

i've just dashed out in pj's and sweatshirt for malbec wine + gelato. pathetic or genius?



crane love

for my baby shower this past autumn each guest made a origami paper crane which was supposed to be made into a cheery + one-of-a-kind mobile. but i'm thinking (especially now that miss nia is past the mobile stage) that something like this vertical garland would be a beautiful, sweet + whimsical way to display the cranes.

*these stella sunglasses are on my 'wish list'



neon nails?

i love a clean, simple clear coat of nail polish and hence, it's what i most frequent. however, i'm not one to be afraid of color. come summer, i love a neon pink or electric purple polish on my nails.

lately, i'm loving the neon orange nail


and just spotted this via VOGUE and would love to try it. 


...or maybe i just love the bag. 


to turban or not to turban

i recently got a fabulous turban in ivory silk that i have been desperate for an excuse/event/occasion to wear it, similar to this one.

but already i am thinking of leaping past the full turban and attempting to rock the turban bun


i just LOVE the head wrapped yellow silk one. 

maybe for a special late june wedding?

apartment revamp

mr.s and i decided our sweet baby girl needed more crawling space in our shrinking apartment but didn't want her letters + numbers piece mat to go past "v" so, we ordered 3 new persian rugs for our apartment. they just arrived and i adore them!


(this is one that was in the running, but didn't make the final 3 cut)

and now i'm feeling inspired to change the couch and lighting. here are some couch ideas from the ever-fabulous-yet-inexpensive urban outfitters...




wouldn't these be great with some fun pillows...
