Sometimes I feel like a total noob and this Ira Glass quote is really encouraging.

Pretty!  (and pricey!)

I think it’s a beautiful dress…personally, I think it would fit Irene if it was more blue and grey…

I absolutely LOVE this photo.  Simple but beautiful and whimsical at the same time.

This is the greatest thing that has ever been published on my blog. 

amazing!!!

OMG I must try this! (And yes, I have a problem with nail art.)

I’ve fallen in love with this shoe.  Alexander McQueen, of course, and it’s pretty pricey as far as shoes go…and I don’t usually wear heels, so I should just move along…
