My spending has been a bit out of control lately and I’m blaming my weekly things I enjoy posts. So this week, please enjoy some things that don’t require a credit card number. (Note: This was harder than I thought it would be!)

Welcome to Easy Tiger. If you find yourself in Austin, you must go.

Fresh pretzel with beer cheese.

Fresh baguette with goat cheese and pear & fennel mustard, washed down with a Mexican Coke.

Grab a pretzel to-go from the bakery on the way out.

• A letter EB White wrote to the ASPCA after being accused of “haboring an unlicensed (wiener) dog.”
• A story about a big squirrel and a baby squirrel.
• There will be a special edition Domino magazine on newsstands April 17th!
• None of my bedding matches anyway, so I might as well dip dye my pillowcases, right?
• These Downton Abby trading cards are a hoot.
• Some more new blogs I’m loving (but I think I’m late to the party with most of these): Spoon Fork Bacon, A Beautiful Mess, Rockstar Diaries.
• This Shakshuka recipe is so good I’ve been eating the leftovers for breakfast and dinner for the past three days.
• Juanita the Weasel almost makes me pee my pants. (Here’s Juanita’s story. Of course it includes The Bloggess.)

What are you enjoying?

You may notice a theme today. What can I say? I’m in the mood for love.

• I’m excited to see W.E. That Wallis Simpson was such a hussy.
• Hombre violet sunglasses from Velvet.
• I’m a tote whore. I can never have enough. And I’m still a sucker for the Wm. J. Mills & Co. classic tote. In hot pink, of course.
• Fannie May peppermint ice is my favorite candy ever. For reference.
• I gave a bunch of Valentine pencils from The Carbon Crusader to my Valentine’s. How could I not?
• The Elsa Perreti heart necklace I’ve worn every day for almost 8 years is still one of my favorite things. I’m also more than a little obsessed with the Paloma Picasso love ring.
• I couldn’t stop myself from ordering the Thomas Paul Lola Sunglass Case. Haven’t we all had heart sunglasses at some point in our lives? (I’d like a pair now, please.)
• Big Love earrings.
• J Crew pleated heart skirt. (Available only in size 00. Naturally.)
• There’s still time to make some adorable DIY heart streamers and invite me over for dinner!

• The Manolo Blahnik Patent Leather Mary Janes come in green. GREEN! Which just so happens to be my favorite color.
• I’m not ashamed to admit that I watched all 12 episodes of Downton Abbey this weekend.
• I couldn’t convince myself it was worth putting on a bra for, but I did order a few Jason Wu for Target dresses early Sunday morning. (I’ve already heard rumblings of order cancellations. If Jason Wu suffers the same fate as Missoni, I’ll never purchase another designer collaboration from Target again.)
• I also ordered two pairs of Toms ballet flats. And a pair of Minnetonkas. I’m done shopping now. I swear.
• Except maybe for these Elizabeth and James Fox Stud Earrings.
• I loved the Cary Grant profile on CBS Sunday Morning.
• Food meets fashion. I love the egg and avocado sandwhich/outfit.
• Almond milk. Why didn’t anyone tell me it’s not gross?!
• I’ve been digging around for new blogs to read lately and I’ve come across a few that I’m thoroughly enjoying. As Ink Remains, Miss Moss, and In Spaces Between are now bookmarked. (Yes, bookmarked. I hate feeds.)

• That’s what I look like when I dance while making dinner.
• I love Tilda Swinton. But I hate creepy movies. But I love Tilda Swinton more. So I’ll probably see We Need to Talk About Kevin.
• You should probably see The Iron Lady. It was great.
• I love these faceted boxes.
• Behold list makers, project managers, and general sufferers of OCD. Teux Deux is a list making site that syncs with your iPhone, automatically carries over tasks from one day to the next, and generally makes your life happy. Well worth the $2.99. Enjoy.
• Big news. I’ve started parting my hair in the center.
• I’m eyeing a Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 lens. I’m a little hesitant to buy another fixed lens (I have the 50mm f/1.8) but have heard good things. Have you used it? Thoughts?
• Biscoff cookies. And Biscoff spread. (Which I cannot find anywhere. Hint hint Biscoff company.)
• I’ve decided to go all out this Valentine’s Day. Give and get $15 worth of sweets and goodies from blog and Twitter friends. Join us!

• Oh, Fred.
• I kind of have a thing for jewelry with little animals or bugs and this Kenneth Jay Lane caterpillar pin is no exception.
• The Joy of Books. Don’t worry, Kindle. I still love you.
• Zooey Deschanel gets my vote for Best Dressed at the Golden Globes. Such a departure from her usually ultra girlie style. (For the record, I’m choosing to ignore Zooey’s lady muttonchops so don’t even mention them.)
• I’ve lost 11.3 pounds in 7 days on The 17 Day Diet. My goal is to lose (gulp) 75 pounds total.
• One of my New Years resolutions was to not buy any purses in 2012. So I think I might go big in 2013 and buy a Louis Vuitton. What do you think?
• Does anyone else still use Juicy Tubes? Miracle is my favorite.
• I’m a total flats girl, so I can’t wait for Toms ballet flats this spring.
• I’m trying to be excited about G+, but it’s dead as a doornail over there. If you’re a user, circle me!
