came across this the other day and couldn't resist it. it isn't easy to find lacoste shirt-dresses, and i was especially excited to find it on sale. so, i hope it fits and the horizontal stripes don't do me wrong.

i forget who turned me on to this paper lantern store a couple weeks ago but i am greatly appreciative.
i had been looking for a paper parasol to use as a light fixture on a boring ceiling light in a room that needed some jazzing up. (bamboo handle trimmed down so that it hangs about 8 inches upside down from the ceiling. will post pictures.) pearl river, of course, is a good resource, but i had never been able to make up my mind.
then i came across this one and had to have it. and for $8, i really couldn't pass it up. i also loved this one, but it was out of stock.
so, i am anxiously awaiting this delivery. i am expecting it tomorrow and can't wait.

this post is for ms. s, who called me out on my post inactivity lately. i can't help it! i don't know why i'm not so preoccupied with material goods. it's actually very bothersome. i plan to spend tomorrow thoughtlessly catching up on magazines. maybe that will help.
so, yes, i did watch harry potter (the first one) for the first time last night, in preparation of the newest one (apparently there are like 5 and i hadn't seen one?). so yeah... i'm on my way to being in the know.
anyway, i like the owls in the movie. i also like these letter holders (or bookends, if you wish).

ever wondered how long all that stuff at the back of your medicine cabinet or bottom shelf of the refrigerator will last? now you know.
i came across this a few weeks ago in a local publication and it was in emerald and i fell absolutely in love. i can't seem to find it in anything other than black or red, but it is so gorgeous. looks like it would be pretty flattering too for those of us who aren't nicole richie.

ok, yes, the posting has been light. i know. this can be directly attributed to too much computer time at work and not wanting to open the laptop at all when i get home. so, before i run off to work and lock myself into the computer, i'll give you this.
thanks to my poor time management skills, summer has found a way to sneak up on me. that means i'm in oh shit, it's shorts weather mode but haven't done a thing about it. late-night taco bell runs and stress-induced coke(a-cola) binges can't be helping, but, again, i blame work. alas, i'm still determined to end the summer being fairly confident in a pair of shorts again. (let's face it. i'm not 16 anymore.)
next hurdle: swimsuits.
