what a happy happy place...

i hope that you had a very happy day.

southern hospitality

I just got back from a perfect southern weekend in Charleston, South

Carolina. And if you have never been... you need to go immediately.

Not to be dramatic but IT IS THE BEST TOWN IN AMERICA.

I am completely obsessed with the culture and the food... oh my gosh, 

the food will change your life completely. From fried green tomatoes to

shrimp and grits- it is soooo good. 

I got to witness bridge run 2k10 across the cooper river bridge, 

drive through old downtown and stare "wide eyed" at the most 

amazing porches that I have ever seen. Houses are pink and blue 

and yellow and just plain happy. The beach is also a lovely 15 minutes 

away- do you see why this is the best place ever??  I will just show 

you what I mean... and there are also candy stores everywhere.

headed to charleston...

dazonblue.

Getting on a plane in the morning for the most charming 

city in America. I cannot wait to see this place...

Heres to oversized front porches, sweet iced tea, spring
gardens, and lots of southern charm. Amen.

a blog makeover.

This is currently a construction zone for my blog...

it is under going a much needed face lift.

{Kind of like botox for a blog? or something like that}

... and what do you think?

do you like the change of scenery around here??

chanel lipstick.

A few weeks ago KB introduced me to lipstick. Apparently it is the staple of the working girl {cough cough, I think I need a job to be a "working girl" but at least I am ready if that comes along.}  I was also tired of looking unbelievably washed out in every single picture of myself, the joys of winter and fair skin. So I began the perfect shade of lipstick hunt... and then I saw this ad.* I love it. She looks flawlessly beautiful, fair skin and all. I bought the new Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in Comedia. And, I have to tell you that I am now a fan of lipstick. {Sandra Bullock at the Oscars also convinced me... She was wearing the new Chanel Rouge lipstick too.} And thanks to KB, I am now a believer in lipstick and a belieber too.

 *Disclaimer: I am a marketing major so I really appreciate a good ad and packaging and anything that is basically aesthetically pretty.  

anthropologie visuals

I am in the process of interviewing at Anthropologie right now {with hopes and dreams of being in the visual department... crossing my fingers behind my back and praying a lot.} Just look at these displays... they are incredible, inspiring, and I am blown away by all of them. I would go as far to say that I kind of want to live inside of an Anthropologie, specifically the one at Rockefeller Center. It's a magical experience inside that store. I could at one time probably spend up to 3 hours just looking at the visuals.
