Cute little heart ring

Wouldn't it be fun if your wedding ring cost only $88? I'm definitely seeing a trend of cheaper, less traditional wedding rings going around the blogosphere. Plus you can always get a different one later on when you have more money right? I like this one from catbirdnyc.

I completely suck at blogging-please virtually throw rotten tomatoes at me

So this is Bits of My Week....2 days late. And I didn't do giveaways. Yikes. School is ccccrazy. I was really all rearing to go with Bits of My Week on Sunday but couldn't find my camera cord. Its no excuse..I know. But here's a little glimpse of my trip I took on Saturday. Funny sign right?

Only one more reason why I want to move to Portland

I couldn't resist sharing this office space found over at design*sponge. This is the space of Parliament design studio located in...whatta ya know...Portland, Oregon, the epicenter of creativity. Can we just talk about how amazing that wall is? Drool....

Home Decorators say what?

So my mom is working the Home Decorators Warehouse Sale this weekend. Let me break this down for you. Cheap home decorators stuff gets cheaper because its a warehouse sale gets cheaper because my mom is working at it. We're talking cheap furniture people. So I went through and found a few things I like (see above).

Now...be warned...there are some questionable items on their website. I mean who in their right mind would design this lamp and really think they're contributing to the world?

But alas....among a sea of boring ottomans I found THIS HIPPO. I know some of you may have your doubts but I can just see this beauty of a hippo ottoman being passed through my family for generations to come. I hope to see you there little hippo!

So fickle...

Do you guys ever find your interior tastes changing due to the season?

I have myself convinced right now that this warm, rustic style is what I like. No doubt about it. But when Spring and Summer hit I'm sure to be back to these light airy rooms and clean lines. Oh how fickle I am.

Granny Boots

Pondering ways to wear my NEW granny boots...I like these options from the Sartorialist. And...check out this website Copenhagen Street Style. These girls know what they're doing.

Bits of My Week: CHRISTmas

Lots of fun wrapping gifts, making Christmas cookies, playing with Charlie, and eating out (and finding letter shaped ice!).
