have i ever told you i want to walk down the aisle to cat steven's the wind?
well, i do.
a giveaway for this (almost) spring week...
i'm so very excited to start this week off on the right foot.
the right foot, you ask?
a giveaway, i say!
from none other than shabby apple--you know--the women's dress store that you've already, at one point, purchased numerous items from, or drooled incessantly over their images.
if not--if this is your first brush with them--well, then welcome out from under that their rock and bask in the bright ray of sunshine that is their collection. (holy moly, it's the monday after spring forward and sass is my middle name).
shabby apple focuses on creating dresses that are one-piece outfits, nothing else necessary. they are ultra-feminine and highly flattering.
one lucky reader will take home the waimea dress.
isn't it lovely? i want it. (desperately). it's a deep blue and white--my calling card. and scallops? swoon. (i may also have been swayed by how beautiful the model is).
to enter: visit shabby apple and leave a comment below. tweet, post to facebook, or like shabby apple on facebook for a second entry. (and then comment letting me know).
the entry will close wednesday at midnight and the winner will be announced thursday.
(open to u.s. residents only).
happy monday. it's gonna be a good week!
mark the date: next sunday.
if you're planning on attending and haven't gotten an email from me with the location then send a message my way.
and just so you know: my roommate amanda has read the book and has some mighty strong feelings about mr. earnest hemmingway and she won't be holding back. so come forewarned and prepared.
my manhattan: dark woods, intersecting lines, and sumptuous feasts.
in my manhattan
the mac boys did a bang-up job and i'm deeply indebted to them for the return of the computer in all its glory. coffee be damned!
i'll be back next week with things to say and (even--i hope) a giveaway!
i just want to take this moment to send my prayers to japan and beyond. this natural disaster is another startling reminder of the earth's undeniable power and as one tweet said "that we're just guests on this planet." it then falls to us to treat the earth with respect and reverence--to preserve the tenuous balance that mother nature lords over--we can do this in what we choose to eat, how we harvest food and animals, consumption of all kinds and on and on. now is the time to say prayers, give thanks, and go about enacting change.
till monday...
the head and the heart. my love affair rages on.
in ahhh music
they've just released a music video. their first, their second? not sure, reports vary.
but because i love them and would follow them to the ends of the earth just to hear their music, i thought i'd share.
ps: my personal mac may or may not be at some warehouse somewhere in the greater new york area getting repaired. there may or may not have been an incident with coffee that led to it's breakdown.
posting may be sparse until it is returned to me.
(a big thanks to my roommate amanda for lending me her computer for this and the previous post).
