• The Shops at Target are so cute and the Webster for Target line is adorable. Unfortunately, everything I ordered was elephant-size so it all had to go back. Shopping sabbatical saved.
• I really think people underestimate the  merits of crushed ice. It makes pop fizzier, homemade iced coffee perfect, and is infinitely useful in case of emergency.
• Fatkini. Work it.
• Raygun is where I bought my favorite Yay Cleavage tshirt (not only is it funny, the material is divine) and now I’m loving the I’m not a player I just blog a lot tshirt (even though it’s super cheesy).
• I just registered for another 5k. In New York City. If you’re going to BlogHer, run the BlogHer 5k (very very slowly) with me!
• I thought Casey Mulligan’s Met Gala dress was grand and I love that she listed it on ebay to benefit Oxfam. She’s even covering the shipping!
• Jalapeno popper grilled cheese. Then we all died of happiness. And a heart attack.
• I am beyond excited for a roadtrip to Buc-ees this weekend. Don’t judge me.

• The New York City Ballet collection by OPI is beautiful.
• Aging stylishly. I want to be these women.
• The Polka Dot House. Clearly awesome.
• Which reminds me of these enamel earrings.
• I never thought I’d say this, but I’m super excited about buying…a vacuum cleaner. It has headlights!
• What I’m reading:

This is How by Augusten Burroughs
The Baker’s Daughter by Sarah McCoy
Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson

by Simon Walker

• The new iPhone ad with Zooey Deschanel is so stinkin’ cute.
• Champagne jello shots are so fancy.
• When In Austin is hysterical and I don’t even get half of it.
• There’s a very real possibility that I’m going to have to move in June (I’m exhausted just thinking about it – I don’t have the time nor the energy, but neither do I have the money for a 20% increase in rent) which has taken my super tiny home obsession to a whole new level.
• Adorable dachshund dishtowel from Anthropologie.
• I want a cursive typewriter real bad.
• This necklace around my neck, please (first seen on Jen Loves Kev).

Happy Friday the 13th! Godspeed.

• Gwyneth Paltrow signed on to play Dora Maar in the upcoming Pablo Picasso biopic, 33 Dias. Antonio Banderas will play Pablo. I going to need to noodle this over for a bit before making any judgements.
• I just finished reading So Big by Edna Ferber and it is excellent. It’s a Pulitzer Prize winner from 1925 and I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it until now.
• These mini crocheted animals are amazing.
• Sperry Top-Siders. For babies. And then I died.
• This neon sign needs to be in my house. It’s in the window of a shop near my house and I’m afraid to go in and ask how much it is.
• My dog wears a bathrobe. Is that not the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever seen?
• Jean Paul Gaultier for Coke. It’s everything you’d expect and more.
• Text from Dog. I can’t stop laughing.

I am absolutely enchanted by succulents. They don’t even look real they’re so perfect and orderly (and I can keep them alive). I remember my grandma having hen and chicks growing on the rocks in her backyard (but now that I think about it, it was probably my grandpa who put them there since he was responsible for the dahlias and iris’ growing in the yard) and now I have planters of them on all my window sills.

My succulent “garden”

The Austin Cactus and Succulent Society (yes, such a thing exists – isn’t it wonderful?) is having their annual succulent sale at Zilker Botanical Gardens on April 14th and 15th and I am way more excited than is probably necessary.

What do you think? Are you a fan of succulents?
