Just perfect.

pretty + simplicity | at its finest.

tres amigas

yeah, they're cool. :) this is us at MTM10 (old job) w/ P + A.

in my / our next home...

One day, when we're not too old/gray, I'd like our next home to look/feel like this.

(via YoungHouseLove)

what you got there...

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT:

1. spare/laundry keys (cuz my husband took mine this morning) w/ houndstooth purse i got from a office s.santa (perfect for those quarters!)

2. school/staff ID

3. jewelry bag from AE

4. 9West $7.99 sunglasses that I shockingly adore, from Port Authority Strawberry

5. i have skin issues: speed stick does wonders in the summer, aquaphor ails everything from chapped lips to ashy elbows, aveeno lotion (love this carrying case - every last drop!)

6. i transferred into a day-by-day moleskiner (i used to like the weekly, but this was a perfect goodbye present from the last job); transitwise commuter map (i am notorious for getting lost!); flier from my old gig (MTM10!)

7. mini aquaphor (this belongs in my makeup case that I usually leave in the car)

8. trim tweezers (for when i'm stuck in traffic) - i've had these for almost 2 years now - miracle!

9. travel pill case w/ advil (though i originally bought the plastic case to carry small bars of soap for travel)

10. red / yellow: to mark up the...

11. Paris / France travel books - see you en Septembre!

12. kimchi blue wallet that i've held on to for 4 months (<--- a world record!)

AHHH, that felt good and I don't know why.

who am i?

i've been thinking a lot lately, "who am i?" in terms of my work, life, and the balance between the two. I must say that I'm quite happy where my accomplishments have taken me thus far, but I'm definitely at a funky fork in the road, and wonder how these characteristics may/may not define me going forward. in the meantime, I shall contemplate on this tagcloud, created from my resume, to see how much i really love what I do, or at least hoping a few other words to grow than others.

V.S.S.

You know you all do it. I have been doing this since pre-internet, before there were e-shopping carts! yes, filling out the order form from the jcrew catalogs that my older brother would order (pre-jenna times) - and i would add it all up (old skool) and imagine that i would actually spend 3-4 digit totals all w/o trying them on???! well, same skill, different medium people.

INTRODUCING...MY VIRTUAL SHOPPING SPREE!
