The Tom's of Glasses

I love Tom's Shoes. I have two pairs, both glitter. I also love that they give a pair of shoes to someone in need. I also wear glasses. I don't totally love glasses, but I wear glasses. I now love Warby Parker, a glasses website. I love how cheap the frames are, and I love how cool the frames are, and now I think I love glasses. I also love how every time you buy a pair, they donate a pair of glasses to someone in need.

Are we clear?

(Also, I love how they will send you up to five frames to try on- for free! And then you just choose one, send them back, and order the one you like!)

scream not dream

This is the finished product. It says Love Scream Dance Eat Be.

I hope people dont think it says Dream. It probably should say that. but i was in a scream mood!

Let the wedding blog begin!

Okay gang. Do we love this dress or do we love it? It's by Watters, but is their Wtoo line, which apparently is way cheaper!

Don't be hatin'

I tried so very hard NOT to to Starbucks today.

And yet here I am, sipping my insanely expensive pumpkin latte that is too hot for the day, listening to hip music.

I'M SORRY.

Here's what happened: I had all of these excited independent coffee shops mapped out to try today in Columbia Heights, but I had to go to the post office in the opposite direction. By the time I got there, I felt sick (worst cold ever), hot, tired, and starbucks was right there. Like a glowing haven of air conditioning and free wifi. What's a girl to do?

I ask for your forgiveness. Nay, I beg.

Anyhoos. I made this little delight of a carnelian ring today which I'm quite smitten with. I love a good oxidized look, and can't seem to stop doing it to anything I make! I also half-made a hilarious ring out of a big amethyst geode chunk, and in a cold-medicine induced haze, stamped the words "Love-Scream-Dance-Eat-Be" all separated with hearts. I guess I was on a verb rampage. We'll see how that turns out!

Free Shipping!

That's right, free shipping this whole week!! Get your shopping on.

I also just finished this ring which I am in love with!

It is oxidized and has a couple 14k gold yellow beads for some added fun!

Bike Ring and Save the Dates

The final third piece in Le Petit Bike Collection! The Ring!

In other news......I am liking this Save The Date idea!

(the map outline at the top!) What do we think?

A nook

This is one of my favorite spots in the apartment to look at.

sometimes you just gotta dance

Coasting (from my 2 Modern's Bog post)

I've had coasters on the mind lately, and thought I'd share some of my favorite finds:

New Bike Things!

My friend Sadie was nice enough to model my new small bike necklace! I should start using models more (instead of awkwardly photographing myself ((see earrings below)).

In other news, we are basically moved into our new DC digs. Things are looking good, but I'm in the market for some design-y cool string of lights to hang across a beam..suggestions?

Bikeearrings!

I haven't taken actual photos of these new bikes yet, but how great are the earrings?? I can't wait to take good pictures and list them! And necklaces, and rings, oh my.

Also, tomorrow I take the train to DC, and friday we move into the new apartment! Scary!!!

Words of Wisdom

Whenever I wake up the day of a hair appointment, my hair always looks amazing.

So I'm pretty sure on a day when you need to have really great looking hair, fool your body into thinking that you are going in for a haircut. And then you will have fabulous hair.

Also, I'm pretty sure this toy would have been super fun to have. For like, a day. Maybe an hour.

gah

Imagine having Joan from Madmen as your friend? And then imagine that she models your scarves on Etsy?

Beer and Packing

Tomorrow is the big day! Our first moving truck. I'm 100% nervous about everything. (but like Ben says, I'm always nervous about everything).

To make matters worse, instead of packing and organizing, we are going to start watching 6 Feet Under from the beginning and drink beer.

Dogfish Head Punkin Ale, to be precise. It comes in an adorable four-pack and is called Punkin! Who could ask for anything more?

There are TOO MANY BOXES full of things I don't want but can't get rid of. Isn't that the worst??

Okay. That's it for my ramblings. I hope everyone is having a great long weekend- are you doing anything exciting?

Don't Go the Distance

What a rainy rainy day! Ben and I went to see Going the Distance (and by went, I mean I forced Ben to see it. I love Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, so how bad could it be?).

BAD.

Pretty darn bad.

Also, have you ever seen Nip Tuck? By far the most graphic, drama-filled tv show I ever saw...that we can't stop watching. Help us!! I have to cover my eyes every other second.

That's my entertainment segment of the month.

I hate having to title posts.

My friend (and awesome blogger behind I Like You Like You) Amy sent me these lines from a new Delta Spirit song, and it almost made me cry! So obviously I need to pass it on to you.

may good luck find you at your worst

and bad luck lose you at your best

may your days be rich and full of wealth

and your nights be long when you need rest

p.s- is anyone else watching Project Runway? Is it boring or am I just not paying enough attention? Alls I know is that Michael C. and Gretchen are really getting on my nerves.

In other news, look how cuddly kirby looks in this photo!

Bed Search

My older, cooler brother (who works at Barbarian Group) is in need of a new bed for his new pad.

These are the contenders:

From Room and Board

From Modernica

I love the second one, but the first is classy too. Anyway, some ideas for those looking for a new bed!

hot hot heat

I think I'm addicted to slightly sweetened (a hint of honey!) iced tea. Specifically, Sweet Leaf Green Tea. Is that ok?

And, I can't pack another box. I can't! My fingers feel all funny from cardboard and tape and jewelry bench is being ornery as I attempt to dismantle it.

This is the pits.

Pushing Daisies and New Rings

1. Ben and I have started watching Pushing Daisies on Netflix. So far, so good!

2. I finally listed some more ring that have been hanging around the work bench. Which do you like best?

3. There isn't really a three. We just had a pint of Phish Food Froyo and now my belly is happy as a hamster in a meadow. I guess that could be my three!
