head, shoulders, knees and toes...

today i decided to give myself a treat and got a manicure and pedicure with my friend t. at 2 p.m.! it was glorious--my toenails are now raspberry-pink and my fingernails are a super-light color that's officially called "hopelessly in love" but that i'm referring to as "wedding pink." i don't usually do manis or pedis, but summer is here, flipflops abound and, really, i just thought, why not?

what little indulgence have you given yourself lately? xoxo!

midweek eye candy.

isn't this pretty picture the epitome of summer?

and in my opinionation...(or: bueller? bueller?)

so, when i was in high school, i would come home from school and watch reruns of the hit early-90s tv show blossom as often as possible. i loved joey lawrence, i loved blossom's boyfriend vinnie (played by the super-cute david lascher, who i previously loved on nickelodeon's hey, dude), but most of all, i loved the fact that blossom was neither drop-dead gorgeous nor an unbelievable character. i mean, i felt like i could be friends with her. and there's something reassuring about that when you're in the midst of your own high school drama--even though the show was fictional, it was realistic enough to be comforting.

anyway, you can imagine my joy when i discovered that seasons 1 and 2 are now available on dvd. and yes, i netflixed them. i was also happy to see mayim bialik on what not to wear last friday--it's like a blossom resurgence!

did you watch blossom? did you love it like i did (and still do, apparently)? what was your favorite show when you were younger?


p.s. in other pop-cult news, cameron's amazing house from ferris bueller's day off is for sale. if only i had $2.3 million...!

pretty peonies.

while at whole foods yesterday, i was thrilled to discover several bouquets of gorgeous, fluffy peonies in the fresh flowers section. needless to say, i grabbed one and now the flowers are perfuming my house and making me so, so happy.

what are your favorite flowers? xo!

loving: easy-peasy dresses for summer.

it's june, everyone! can you believe it? summer is officially in the air, so to kick off this week i thought i'd post some pretty dresses by built by wendy. i'd love to throw one of these on with a pair of flipflops or some cute wedges and go buy fresh flowers from the farmer's market or meet friends for lunch or an iced coffee.
