One Day By David Nicholls I picked this up because I started seeing advertisements for the movie, and I generally like to read the book a movie is based off of before seeing the movie itself. After finishing this, though, I don't think I'll be running out to see the...
What I Wore: April Flowers
If you get the reference in the caption above, we can be geek friends forever. ๐ This is what I wore yesterday, for no other reason than I felt like wearing a dress. I scored this for all of $8 at Ross during a recent retail therapy session, and I am loving it. I...

Tuesday Treasure Trove
A hilarious look at what happens when a 35 year old man retakes the SAT. I did good on this test the first time around, but certainly didn't enjoy it or ever want to take it again. I'm going to have to try this DIY Inkblot Artwork from Haley's blog. I KNEW all my...
What I Wore: Layers & Lace
It was so beautiful and sunny out today, I thought it was time to bust out this lacy flowy skirt. LOVE this skirt (you may have realized by now I have a deep and abiding love for lace). It is so comfortable and effortless, and the lace overlay gives it a subtle but...
