reading time
Studying literature at school not only filled, but cultivated my interest in the written art form. I love reading and have been able to read a bit in between my travels the past couple of months.
My spring reading list:
The President's Club by: Nancy Gibbs & Michael Duffy
Nine by: Jeffrey Toobin
The Portrait of Dorian Gray by: Oscar Wilde
Life of Pi by: Yann Martel
She Walks in Beauty by: Caroline Kennedy
What have been your favorite reads lately?

topiaries
Fresh and ready for spring! Are the flowers about to bloom where you are? I can't wait for the spring green to be on the landscape palette.
Topiaries can be great interior decorations, especially as we freshen up our homes for spring.
Find a cute pot that is suitable for your interior space. Stuff with styrofoam and cover with moss.
Once the base is secured, use sticks (the height can vary) as support and turn the top of the stick into a microphone like shape by purchasing a green styrofoam which tends to absorb more water, letting the topiary last longer.
Once the shape is made, cut fresh greens (boxwoods tend to be the most popular) and arrange as an all green display or add a pop of color with ribbons or berries; your choice.
You can also find pre-made topiary stands, especially this time of the year.
Happy crafting and happy spring!

Valentine's Wish List
It's the Valentine's countdown! I have always loved Valentine's today because it's the perfect way to pick-up those winter blues. Even though you don't have a Valentine's sweetie, you can enjoy it just the same. And trust me, this comes from experience, save for a few secret admirers a couple of years ago (honestly, the entire ordeal was far from ideal), I have been celebrating the holiday solo!
Here's to treating yourself and ALL of those you love for this special holiday. So with that little inspiration burst, here's to a positively delightful upcoming week.
For your night out or in:
Shop the look:
Absolutely loving THIS necklace.
Matchbook was released this week and I was able to be in New York, for some reason it made it seem a little more exciting!
Be sure to take a look at this month's issue. I was able to write a biography on Kay Thompson, the creator of the one and only Miss Eloise!
I returned yesterday from my two week adventure. Between spending time with friends and families, I was able to begin the job search with several interviews and meetings. I met a lot of wonderful people (and I hope at least some of them think I'm a little wonderful too).
Since you know I am literally the worst at taking pictures, I don't have too many to show of my trip. One of my goals is to get more involved in the photography world...so perhaps more in the next couple of weeks?! In the meantime, here are a few snapshots!
I had a darling date with Kate Armour from Matchbook. We went to the Macaron cafe, absolutely divine, I ordered hot cocoa and vanilla, raspberry, and dark chocolate macarons. She snapped a pic of me in one of my silk scarves. Living out of one carry-on for two weeks was hard, but I made full use of my accessories...lots of scarves!
Go OWU lacrosse! I met with OWU alum & Goodman Media President, Tom, in NYC. We had to take a pic with his vintage Battling Bishop helmet.
Had fun with kp in the city, crazy straw galore! love the color-pop.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and see you back next week, toodles!

knitting needles
Are you a fan of knitting? I had a brief encounter with the finger-ific craft in high school. While I was taking Spanish Conversations our teacher instructed the class to buy knitting supplies because working on a knitting project would "help our language skills". I was completely unconvinced that could be possible, but her reasoning proved truthful! We would spend a portion of class each week working on our knitting projects while speaking in Spanish with the rest of our class. Even though it was often just petty chatter, it provided us with much needed practice on how to be more comfortable with the language. We focused our attention on our knitting needles and it enabled us to naturally improve our language and comprehension skills over time. Not only did I feel more confident in Spanish, I learned to enjoy knitting.
I haven't picked up my knitting needles in a long time...but I think these pictures will get me in the mood again!
