note to self: preorder...


being such an avid reader i find myself constantly searching for new, stimulating reads. needless to say, my heart started to pound when i saw that a new book called "preppy: cultivating ivy style" is being released by rizzoli. i'm excited to read the forward by lilly pulitzer!

work snacks


obviously i love snacking during work and while everyone else is attempting to convert me into a health fanatic i can't seem to give up on my after work crepes and cookies! i mean seriously, how could i not be obsessed with the sugar butter crepe...it is made of my 2 fav things.

anyways, i guess the frequent interventions are working because i find myself continually reaching for

1. carrots and celery sticks
2. rice cakes with peanut butter
3. fruit (mainly mangos and strawberries)
4. annies bunny cookies (whole wheat)
5. popcorn (not that this is very healthy, but it's better then the chocolate i used to consume daily...by the pound)

i might add in the lilly animal crackers because the box is cute and happy to look at!

Etsy Love


I don't know about you but I feel like everyone else finds really amazing things on Etsy all the time and I never find anything. That is until now! I am obsessed with these watercolor illustrations by silverridgestudio.

lilly for garnet hill



sale at lilly for garnett hill...obsessed!

although i won't be living in the city for another couple of months you can bet that i will have the towels and sheets in my possession by the end of the week. just because i'm not moving in yet doesn't mean i'm going to postpone the preparations! i would rather have everything ready for the move rather then scramble at the last minute...

crystal balls and palm readings


just for fun COH and i went to a psychic (we got the palm reading)...and it turned out to be a rather surpsing experience! the person either was tipped off by a friend or creepily knew very specific details of my life (and COH). regardless, i have some good news for everyone!

i am:

1. going to live until i am 87
2. have 2 boys and 1 girl
3. have to choose between 2 men this july (i haven't met them yet)

i'm not sharing the other details...i have to keep some things a secret!

socialworkout


now that summer is right around the corner i have been trying to push myself more and more (i don't want to look horrible on the beach!) and found this really fun website called social workout! you should check it out if you are looking for some motivation with a little bit of friendly competition...it is something fun to do with a friend (or 5)!

it also goes well with my new goals for the summer:

1. work out every weeknight and do light cardio on weekends
2. eat out only 1 meal a week
3. have only 3 small treats a week
4. drink alcohol only 4 nights a month
5. actually stretch (maybe a yoga class will help??)

In the Pink


Pink symbolizes innocence, purity, and honor. If someone is said to be in the pink, one oculd assume she's the picture of good health and beauty!
