Getting Romantic with Seth Cohen

I've always had a thing for Seth Cohen (er, I mean Adam Brody) so I was excited to see he was going to be in a new movie that looks pretty prescious. J.Crew just uploaded a new photoshoot and behind the scenes video with the cast of "The Romantics."

They're all pretty adorable, but Adam Brody doing ninja kicks in a suit is definately my fav. Click here to see more photos, watch the photo shoot and see the movie's trailer.

Can't wait....

Chair Love

I'd been eyeing this chair ever since I saw them in the John's Journal house tour featured on the Sixth Street Design School blog.

But then I found the same chair in a color that matches my living room a little better. And, double bonus, it's  cheaper and has free shipping!

I need one of these! Actually, I need two so one can flank either side of my couch.

A reminder that I'm a grown-up

Sorry I was M.I.A. so much of last week. Lately, work has been a little....nightmare-ish. Did you miss me?



This weekend was one big fat reminder of how much I miss being a college student. Saturday I went with a few friends to the sorority house we lived in when we were in school to participate in a mock recruitment. It was fun to reminisce when I was in their shoes. They had a tray of cookies out that we really wanted to eat but were too embarrassed since none of the girls in the sorority had gained the "graduation 20" like we have. Just wait, skinny freshmen, you're day will come.


Then, on Sunday, I spent most of the day helping my younger sister move back into her sorority house. Between lots of shrieking and hugging (since these girls hadn't seen each other in 2 months) JJ and I lugged lots of boxes in the 100 degree heat. We didn't mind helping- plus we know she'll feel obligated to help us move in a few months. I'll post pictures soon of how impossibly adorable her new room is.




And I almost forgot. Also this weekend a good friend of mine took a few photos of JJ and I to use at the wedding. For having no photography training she's pretty fabulous, don't you think?!

How was your weekend?

I've Been Violated

Originally I was going to host a giveaway today in honor of my 100th post as a thank you to my sweet readers but I'll have to save that for tomorrow. Today, I've been Violated.

While parked directly outside my house last night someone tried relentlessly to break into my car. They ripped off my door handles, scraped up my doors, pulled my sunroof off with a crowbar and dented my hood. This villain wanted into my car something fierce.

I couldn't figure out what they might have been after. The contents of my seats included: last night's work out clothes, some wedding themed wrapping paper left over from last weekend, and a State Farm re-usable grocery sack that they gave me as a free-gift last Thursday when I switched my insurance to them. That's right- I've had new insurance for less than a week and I had to file a $3000 claim.

I tried not to lose it when my insurance agent informed me that there was a possibility they would drop me for filing a claim this large after such a short amount of time. She was not amused when I asked her what the point of insurance was if they could just drop you whenever anything happened. I'm pretty sure she drew a big X across my file after that.

To top it all off it is now storming outside and I have a giant hole (from where my sunroof used to be) on top of my car. JJ used a recycle bag to shield it. I feel so eco-friendly!


Thank you, blog world, I feel better now that I've vented. It is just so creepy knowing a "bad guy" had their grimy hands all over my car. Who wants to drive me to work for the next two weeks?

Lonny is Live

The newest issue of Lonny Magazine went live today. If you haven't checked it out yet then we obviously have very little in common!

This mirror was featured in the magazine and I think it would go perfectly in my bedroom! And, it's only $99!

I sent that West Elm duvet back by the way. JJ wanted plain white and I figured if I let him win this one it would give me more bargaining power with other design elements I want to use. Perhaps a ghost chair?

What's Up, J.B.!

Remember when I vaguely mentioned that I got a Justin Bieber poster at a wedding shower?

Oh yes, my friends. I am the envy of all the middle school aged girls that I work with.
