fab dresses and prints i love

I am in love with Anna Hepler and her beautiful prints and drawings. Such a gorgeous style that I'm totally jealous of and have never been able to employ. Simple, yet intricate. Delicate but strong. I dig it.

Totally unrelated, but I just have to tell you that I almost flipped the other day when I saw these photos of Drew Berrymore at the tiff premiere of her new movie Whip It! She's wearing my most coveted dress ever, by Alexander McQueen. What a lucky bitch! It's amazing. She looks great. I won't even get into my jealousy over all the John Galliano creations she's gotten to wear as of lately. I'm even kind of feeling the hair, it's very Berlin.

rocks and birds

How adorable are these pebble rings? I want hands full of them. Be sure to check out some more work by Djurdjica Kesic.

On a completely different note, since the weather has been so nice I have been spending many afternoons and evenings lounging in the backyard. All the flowers are still blooming and it's just so fragrant and peaceful.

Not a single day has gone by when I haven't had a visit from the cutest little hummingbird I've ever seen. He likes munching on our blooming hummingbird vine, butterfly bushes and super tall cannas. He's so precious! The other day he flew over and hovered just a few inches away from my face. I'm convinced he is attracted to my red hair.

Did you know that they build their nests with spiderwebs? I just learned that today. So neat.

A "Photos I love but need to clear off of my computer" Post

Was going to make big, gravy covered, delicious roast beef open faced sandwiches for dinner tonight. At the deli I picked up a pound of what was labeled "beef brisket" only to get it home and discover that it was indeed CORNED beef brisket. Such deceit!

I made turkey open faced sandwiches instead which were delicious but didn't satisfy my craving for beef. What can you do, though? I'll have to make ruebens later this week with all the corned beef I have. Anyone like sauerkraut?

Anyway, check out all this stuff I have lying around on my computer.
