All my love, from New York

A few posts from the lovely blogs I frequent.

Buttery leather.

From one of my favorite songs.

Kind of funny. Don't lie, you know you do this too!

I want to be a mermaid.

I love this tumblr.

And this one.

Too cool for school words.

Happy Hanukkah! I learned how to make latkes this weekend (or at least how to fry them), so I think it's time I try my hand at these...

Does anyone want to make these for me? Please? 

All in this together

It's my first day of work tomorrow! Wish me luck...

Holiday sparkle

Holiday season accessories.

My motto... the more sparkle the better. You can't have too much glitter. Ke$ha and I agree on that.

Party dresses under $100

I realized my last post about holiday party dresses was a little unrealistic. Let's be honest, I'm not buying $900 dresses. You probably aren't either.

Sooo here are some more affordable -- but just as cute -- alternatives, all from Asos. I'd also recommend checking out Zara and Topshop for affordable but well-made dresses.

Deck the halls

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's time to start decorating for Christmas! I've collected a few pictures of my favorite DIY decoration ideas -- inexpensive, fun, and you can throw them out after the holidays are over to prevent lots of clutter.
