I am quite smitten with the top middle,
but I think I am going with the top right.
Someday I'll get brave and go platinum blonde;
for now it will just be quicker to stay red!

Knit Wit
Somehow my quick trip to JoAnn's
on Saturday took an unexpected turn.

I went in for jewelry making supplies, but they didn't
have exactly what I was looking for to attempt
this great tutorial from Rebekah over at A Bit of Sunshine.

However, I did return home with an armful of these lovelies.
Behold the power of cute packaging. *sigh*
Never discount the influence that a sticky sweet name will extert.
You even utter the word honeycomb, and I am sold.
Of course, someone was quite jealous.
Swarley will just have to deal.
Yes, I give my pets hard-to-recall names like Swarley.
Go watch it people!
You won't be sad that you did.

Outfits are for Outings: "You don't say."
This past weekend marked the
Annual Stonington Vineyards Wine Festival
Try the Seaport White!
If your household is anything like ours,
getting dressed for any anticipated event
goes something like this:
BOY: Are you almost ready to go, or what?
GIRL: I've got nothing to wear!
BOY: You have more clothes than
Alicia Silverstone did in Clueless.
GIRL: You don't say.
BOY: I do say.
GIRL: Ok, then. You find something!
Drumroll, please. Dun dun dun.
I give you the "boy-selected" outfit.

3/4 Sleeve Shirt: The Limited
Boots: Thrifted, Banana Republic c/o Buffalo Exchange
Lit Bit: Jane Austen
I have been utterly consumed by Pride and Prejudice this week,
but more to the point...
but more to the point...
the fiancé and I dash over to the mall yesterday after work to
pick up something quick that I have been running desperately low on...
...out-of-the-blue he leans in close to tell me that, although he is quite hungry and doesn't by any means wish to prolong our shopping exploits, he would feel rather guilty not to mention that the new Anthropologie store I have been anxiously awaiting the November opening of (thanks for the misinformation WHN) seems to be prematurely resplendant in all of its open for business glory!
And get this...while floating over shoulder, as any better half would do for the one he loves in an all too uncomfortable so girly you can taste the glitz retail establishment, he waves this bit of lovely in my general direction and says, "I bet you wish you had this copy instead." Allow me to illustrate--the book I was carrying with me at the time vs. the book I was coveting in that moment:
My response being something along the lines of:
Does he know me, or does he know me.
