kate, kate and more kate


after you finish reading this post you may think i'm a bit obsessed with kate middleton   
maybe i am.  but let me explain.  it's not my fault (or at least not all my fault).
i blame my aunt.  
you see she is from england - born and raised.  she married my mom's brother. 
and ever since i turned 12 she has been giving me prince william memorabilia. you name it i probably had it. 
then i moved to london in 2006 and lived there for two years.
he was dating kate middleton.  and they were every where.
all dreams of becoming princess were crushed.  
as were my aunts of being part of the royal family.
but it was hard not to like kate middleton - her style was impeccable.  
thus this post.  my favorite looks from kate.

most from her recent trip to canada and the us.

apartment inspiration


Big news friends.  
After 2.5 years MJ and I have decided to move in together.  It will be almost 3 years by the 
time we actually do which gives me plenty of time to plan and hunt for inspiration.  I started 
saving some ideas via pinterest.  Won't you let me know what you think?  Any advice on living 
with a boy for the first time??

But first here are a few ideas i am loving...

 i love the mixed-matched furniture and different textures and textiles. 

 exposed brick - might happen in a dc loft.

this one is just for fun -  a girl can dream, right?





 love this rug.  love.

dip-dyed hair

would you tie-dye your hair??  this morning daily candy asked this same question via twitter. and although my 27 almost 28-year-old-working-professional-self should say no - i can't help but love it.

Would you try this for summer??  
Maybe for a long holiday weekend if you know it would wash out come Monday??
