Potpourri

It’s never a good idea to tell myself  to stop by Target to “pick up some conditioner,” and especially when I have free time on my hands. It’s like grocery shopping on an empty stomach. All the spring displays were out in full bloom, so I picked up some superfluous items on my way to the shampoo aisle:

cute file folders from Liberty of London

garden napkins for future parties

air wick aqua mist. (I’m sold on the awesome packaging)

weiner dog card

season 4 of Sunny in Philly. on sale! score!

and more recycled Spanish glass.

Spring fever

Checklist for April:

comfortable, easy to slip on dresses [influenced by Winona Ryder circa 90’s era and Reality Bites glory]

giant boyfriend cardigan

lace up boots [for walking in deep grass and weeds]

patent oxfords [dress it up, dress it down]

fresh flowers, a must! [peonies a preferred standard, but local azaleas, primroses and wildflowers are also great!]

Schwinn season. yay!

Heart purse [an awesome Forever 21 find that I can finally put to use!]

and also…

a new mix

“…I remember you and me used to spend the whole goddamn day in bed!…” + windows rolled down, wind in my hair = awesome

Mouthful of Diamonds Phantogram

Shame Smashing Pumpkins

Thinking Drinking Sinking Feeling Slow Club

Dry Lips Lightspeed Champion

Motorcycle Driveby Third Eye Blind

recollections

It never ceases to amaze me that every time I am in search of a misplaced item in my room, I always end up being completely immersed in a nostalgic frenzy with boxes of old stuff. A few years is such a long time now that I think about it. I can’t ‘t even remember past last year, so it was great going through these old polaroids and letters from friends.

pink walls in a pink bungalow by the shore  and sunsets on the beach

a favorite red dress of the week maybe?

fun with make-up. not just for thirteen year-olds

wow. an old Hello Kitty wallet. It’s probably considered vintage you know.

my collection of wacky Japanese postcards sent back to me, re-vamped. a mix CD compilation in  a decked-out envelope.

and an old photo of my Mom . and me. in Vietnam.

Lykke Li – Possibility (stolen from the Bears)

So simple and beautiful and kind of sexy. I love her performance, especially the hand “dance.”

Still a windy day today. Gonna end the night with Zach Galifianakis Live and some chocolate.
