My Newest book Purchase :]

It teaches you how to pick a good ringtone, how to get ready in five minutes, how to enjoy an art museum, and everything in between. I have been wanting this book ever since I saw it in Papyrus a couple of years ago.

In Other News:
-I went to a Red Sox game yesterday. I had a friend who was sitting in the front row, and for the ninth inning he let us sit in his seats. [the Sox lost five- nothing]
- Papyrus is having a $1 card sale, and a 70% off sale [link in above text]

Sincerely,

Finally, summer.

Ok,

So Yesterday it was my birthday. I celebrated by eating a bunch of vanilla icing, reading, playing guitar hero, and jogging. My ideal day? Going shopping in Boston :D, and probably taking a visit down to the cape. But hey, I'm not complaining, I got to wear my Lilly Pulitzer crown =].

My Birthday presents included:

- An LG Dare [with pink case]

- Checks

- A Corum Admiral's Cup watch [I could not find a picture of it]

- A Gossip Girl Poster =]

- The Book One Fifth Avenue

And Now:

My [ambitious] Plans for summer:

-Study for the SSATs using my giant- very daunting study guide

-Reorganize and redecorate my room

-Grow out my nails

-Blog [almost] every day

Tagged with no Time

I was tagged by Pouty Baby to post six random things that make me happy. Easy. I have notebooks dedicated to just that and quite frankly if I had the time I think it would be fun to post them all, but with finals and everything, that's probably not going to work.




1.) Boston.
The beautiful foliage in the fall, the AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING RED SOX (I love you Jacoby Ellsbury), the Patriots, Celtics, Bruins, Revolution. What's not to love? Not to mention Newbury Street, Beacon Hill, and the Prudential Center. Boston just has this spirit about it that makes be smile.







2.) Ray Bans. The Beatles. Green Grass. Sunshine
Okay, I know it's more than one thing but these all fit together for me, they just go. I love picturing a vintage radio playing the Beatles, red Ray Bans, and the sun shining on freshly- cut green grass. (PS I know this is Katy Perry and there is no green grass but it does illustrate the image for the most part)

3.) Headbands.
I love headbands, especially Blair's. They are fun, and beautiful. Enough said.

4.) Shopping Bags.
I hope to have a collection so big one day, I can make shopping bags my wallpaper in a room. Some of my favorites- Jack Wills, Rugby, Lilly Pulitzer, Bloomingdales, and Pink bags.






5.) Palm Beach.
Lilly, Worth Avenue, palm trees, pink and green, The Breakers Hotel. I love Palm Beach I really don't know how to put it into words, but Palm Beach makes me feel happy and sunny. Happy and sunny is a good combo.






6.) Earmuffs.
Cashmere earmuffs are my big indulgence. When I was younger I used to think earmuffs were really ugly and sort of annoying. When I was younger I didn't see cashmere earmuffs, all I saw were the really puffy, furry, purple ones. I love earmuffs, my ears get cold easy so I slip these on, they are super- warm, comfy, and they are super- cute.

Judge A Book By Its Cover

I was in a used bookstore today looking for a treasure (you can always find a great book for a great deal) and today I found a winner. I am a big fan of sketchbooks that have been published such as "The Palm Beach Sketchbook" by Bill Olendorf and Agnes Ash.

So I was looking in The "Europe" section and I came across a book spine that caught my eye (as you can see it would by the pictures).

"Sara Midda's South of France" is a great sketchbook that was a journal carried by Midda filled with notations and pictures, from everything like palm trees to different foods to a collection of shoes.

Here is the text from the inside flap:

From Sara Midda, whose first book evoked all the pleasures of an English garden, comes a wondrous sketchbook of a year's sojourn in the South of France. This is a very personal journal, crammed with images, notions and discoveries of the day-to-day. In tones of sea and morning sky, stucco and brick, olive leaf and apricot, rose and geranium, exquisite watercolors capture the landscape, the life, the shimmering air of a region beloved by all who have fallen under its spell.
Sara Midda's South of France is a place of ripening lemons and worn espadrilles, ochre walls and olive groves, and everything born of the sun. It lies between the Mediterranean and the Maritime Alps, and most of all in the artist's eye and passion."

So sometime go to a used bookshop, and if it looks pretty, judge a book by it's cover.

Happily, and Sincerely,
D
