Paper chain in progress . . . Just 11 links away from home sweet home!

anthro sweepstakes: yes, please!

I've been entering Anthropologie's holiday giveaway each day since it started and plan to continue for the duration. Normally I'm not much into contests, but this one is too tempting! I love every single thing they've offered thus far. (Plus, sneaky secret? The fine print includes all upcoming prizes, so you could technically plan your entries accordingly.)

Hopefully spreading the word doesn't decrease my odds ;)

Either way, those slippers are definitely going on my Christmas list.

world wide open

Lately I have the distinct feeling that anything is possible. 

This feeling refuses to believe otherwise.

The world is glowing again. I am remembering how important it is to look, and to listen. 

And I am so in love with it all.

f. scott fitzgerald deco editions

I am absolutely in love with these special edition F. Scott Fitzgerald books from Penguin. They're so beautiful! I want every single one.

(Somewhat Related Personal Anecdote: In seventh grade, I did a report on F. Scott Fitzgerald. The main thing I took away from that assignment? The author's connection to Francis Scott Key. Clearly, my twelve-year-old self had some trouble reading between the lines. That, or the research I used to write my report was absolute crap.)
