Applying BareMinerals Bronzer // cold weather always = faux tan

Shopping for Vegan Reversible Tote + Wristlet // Seriously it’s only $48 but I can’t make up my mind on color…will my newly bronzed face somehow affect the white leather?


Wearing my J.Crew Hi-Top Vans // because I can wear the thickest, ugliest, gift-from-three-Valentine’s-ago-fluffy-socks in them and nobody has to know 🙂


Watching with the girls // Farmer Bachelor edition, because did I mention I’m from the Midwest?

Dancing to La Roux’s Trouble in Paradise album // sure this came out in July and I’m just finding it now, so what?


Snacking on McClure’s Garlic Dill Pickles // perfect for eating and then not being in public for at least 48 hours (the garlic is…a lot)

Reading Cleopatra a Life by Stacy Schiff // so far Cleopatra has married her brother AND taken up a lover, Caesar. Yay history!

Coveting this Stylewalker dress // that I can wear with tights now and with bare calves later

Saving for Dolce Vita’s Haku Bootie // or maybe I’ll get them for Valentine’s Day because nothing says ‘true love’ like a pair of funky lil’ booties! (hint hint)
