Hey, I'm Not Going To Judge You...
1. If you consider shopping cardio.
2. If you prefer books to kindle. It's the romance of the tangible thing.
3. If its ever taken you an entire song to realize you weren't listening to an english radio station.
4. If you've ever worn makeup from the night before to a family function.
5. If you thought you were a total zumba master until you looked in the mirror and realized what you thought you were doing looks a little different than what's actually happening.
6. If you're genuinely convinced that every lane on the freeway automatically slows down once you are in it.
7. If you've ever slept in a ball because there were mounds of clothes on your bed (sometimes a girl just can't be bothered to organize).
8. If you spend hours on jib jab making videos for your own viewing pleasure.
9. If you take off your waist belt before you even start the meal.
10. If you're horrible at beer pong but still believe you really could win this time around.

On My Mind
Listening to:
Craving:
Coveting: Jeffrey Campbell Lita Platforms (might have spent hours last week trying to track them down....)
On my to do list: Find and buy Lita platforms; take Sunday's flea market purchases to the tailor; find a way to make salads more fun; wear new turban.
Watching:
Judy & Jane Aldridge from Stylelikeu.com from Stylelikeu on Vimeo.
(Re)Reading:
Inspired by: This couple, photographed by Vanessa Jackman
On my social agenda: An early thanksgiving rooftop potluck.
Wondering: What do bus drivers do when they have to pee during work?

Excuse Me, Your Vocabulary is Showing
Sometimes during my high school lunch breaks I would sneak off to the library and read the thesaurus. I know this is not an activity to brag about but the magic of saying one sentiment in so many colorful ways is exciting!
My secret academic eccentricities might have been slightly less awkward had I been reading the beautiful Webster's Fashion Color Thesaurus and Dictionary. I stumbled upon these beauties on SeeJaneWork's website which is heaven for the stylish organizational freak. I might not be willing to pay $180 a piece for them at the moment, but a nerd can dream.

"I know. I’ve been everywhere and seen everything and done everything… Sophisticated...God I’m sophisticated." – F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
Literary Lust: Fitzgerald Gets Gussied Up
One of my favorite blogs "Design Sponge," recently introduced me to the graphic design genius Coralie Bickford-Smith. As a book-lover and a lover of great graphic patterns, I've gone positively ga-ga over Coralie's new collection of covers for F. Scott Fitzgerald. Not only is Fitzgerald my favorite author, but now his collection is dressed in bold metallic art deco patterns that are beyond swoon-worthy. Excuse me while I stock my entire bookshelf with Coralie's cover designs.
