The Girls With Glasses Show-decorating a corner

Last evening a friend of ours came for dinner.  We were discussing her new apartment options for next fall, and by apartment I do mean rental apartment. Naturally, like any full time student and human living in 2011, she is on a budget.  Many of us have lived through the "DO NOT PAINT" section in our lives and can greatly sympathize with those who are pushing through it. As you will see in this video, just because you can't paint doesn't mean your place can't be cute.  

Although I personally believe that a coat of paint will change your life...and the smell of your apartment! 

Just in case you were looking for a little inspiration towards putting a corner together, here it is!

As per the chair she uses from overstock, here it is!

Another...CAT

Handsome, fortunately, does not purr this loud. That being said...I would wager an item or two to say that he can out meow this can't purr.  Handsome's meow could possibly out "sing" that of....well, me!
Take a look at this little guy...he's sure to bring a smile to your face.

Nighty, Night!

The illustrious Kate Spade has a new line of bedding due to be released this spring. Check out this video for a sneak preview.  Save your quarters and dimes friends, the party is on!

Interview with Prince William and Catherine Middleton

update on this post: March 22, 2010

After viewing this post several times for personal amusement, I realized that this video was totally freaking my kitty out! At first I thought he was totally worried thinking there was a kitten in the room, but then I realized he was actually looking for a kitten that might be in hurt, or in trouble.  It made me so sad when I realized that this little video completely tormented poor Handsome. He spent about 45 minutes looking around the house for what he was sure was an injured and quite scared kitten.  Bless his sweet heart for looking.  So do beware of playing this video with a cat in the room, the story does not end well! 

I LOVE me a KITTY

I LOVE A GOOD KITTY! In my mind though ALL kitties are good.  My own personal kitty, Handsome is the light of my life...well my husband AND my kitty. Handsome has a great attitude and is my personal assistant during all my lessons and does an excellent job of distracting hosting the students as they enter and exit.  He also is an excellent help when it comes to doing homework. 

I enjoy the antics of other kitties of the world as well.  For a long while, "Nora the piano playing cat" was my favorite...this may be my new favorite!  I'm not sure whether to cry, laugh, or go snuggle my own kitty!  This is so amazing! Check it out. 

Warby Parker - Part Deux

My Warby Parker frames arrived today!  How exciting.  Boutique luxury delivered right to your doorstep!

They arrived packed in a nice white shipping box and inside the shipping box is this delightful black hipster box! 

When you open it you hear a "TA-DA" sung by a choir of divas and your eyes light up like Christmas morning.

I originally ordered only 3 pairs and about 4 days later I received an email from them saying that they had selected 2 additional pairs to ship to me to preview at home as well.  How about that for "a job well done".  Today I quickly tried on the 2 pairs of frames that I was the most excited about, the 3rd pair I selected was just for fun.  I really like the Roosevelt and the Thompson.  Though these frames come in colors that might be considered a little less of a risk, I was kind of thinking..."gee as long as I'm going to go out there on a limb I might as well go all the way out on the limb." So here I am with a blue and crystal pair of frames.

Roosevelt

Thompson

Roosevelt and Thompson, although I don't believe I'll wear them together. 

Can you tell which pair I'm leaning towards?

Yup, these are my favs.  

As for the other 3 pairs that came in the swanky box...

The Wiloughby (bottom left), The Huxley (middle) and The Digby...the hubster (not to be confused with hipster) selected the Digby! 

You might be wondering how I found out about these little gems...check this out for more information on the company! 

P.S. I couldn't wait for my hair to dry and for my make up to be put on...yes I look like I just got out of the pool! I do deee-claaare! I'm not doing my part as a "southern lady".....OH WELL!

New Internet Friends

Totally love what these two girls are doing.  Their blog/web page/webisodes are so much fun.  Naturally, I'm totally envious of their wardrobe.  Who wouldn't love to have their "wardrobe donated from Kate Spade New York"?  Check out The Girls With Glasses, they're bound to bring a smile to your face and a glitter to your eye.
