where is the alcohol?

"My only suggestion is to drink consistently to forgot that Palin is an actual candidate. Vodka, hide our shame!"

My dear friend and old roommate, Cristina, just got engaged this weekend! So congratulations to her and her fiancee Trevor. I am so excited. I get to be a bridesmaid next summer in her wedding! Can't wait. Congrats. 

Ben Folds You Don't Know Me Video (feat Regina Spektor)

Oh god I love Ben Folds and Regina Spektor. Their new song is fabulous. The new Ben Folds cd comes out on Tuesday and I can't wait. Josh Grobon is in the video too. Pause it at 2:46.

Jason Mraz - Make It Mine

Here is the video I tried to upload a few days back. Oh Jason Mraz.

Costumes

Marie Antoinette was not a very good movie. But it is fabulous to watch just because of the costumes. I want to dress up one day into something like this. So much fun. 

Thanks to The World According to Jessica Claire and Material Girls for this fabulous picture!

Beautiful

This is one of the most gorgeous pictures I have come across in a long time!!! Thanks to Style Me Pretty. 

might be moving....

After watching the debate last night I have concluded that if Obama doesn't win than I have a really good excuse to move to London. I am also considering Vancouver, B.C. 

One of my pictures from my trip to London this past summer. 

Bedroom

Here are some current shoots of my new bedroom down in Corvallis. It is packed wit all my girly things considering the boys won't let anything pink into the living room. Check it out. 

My perfumes on a cake stand, my book, a disco ball, jewelry tree stand, the mask that I got in Venice, a candle, mini vespa, and a lovely Ralph Lauren Home ad that I framed. 

A close up of my gorgeous mask and disco ball!

The wall with my dresser, mirror and my amazing DWR bookshelf. Love it. 

My desk and all a collection of posters. It was a pain to hang up frames considering our walls are hard plaster.... but I succeed. 

My very bright bed. 

damn

I was going to leave you with Jason Mraz's new video Make it Mine but youtube is being a a little bitch and the sharing function isn't working. Instead, here is a picture of him. I recently realized  that he is quite cute. 

what is a girl to do?

I am currently without cable, internet, and hot water. Yes, it is a little painful. Luckily, I get free internet at the lovely local coffee shop and my wonderful friends let me use their showers. Do not fret. I will be getting hot water tomorrow and internet and cable Monday. I am sad to say that I have missed Gossip Girl this week. So to make myself feel better I bought the Sex and the City Movie. I am going to watch it and I don't care what my roommate say.... even though they are boys I know they secretly want to watch it with me. Adios for now. 

YES!

Look! People in Seattle really can dress well. Thanks to Pike/Pine for capturing images.

Thank You Maison Luxe

These gorgeous photo are from the wonderful Maison Luxe store located in Seattle. Check out their blog too. They have the cutest design items. I want it all. 

I love lighting just a little too much. 

Black, White and Red

My last two recent sets on Polyvore have been Black, White and Red. Even though I am loving the jewel tone colors and plaids for fall I keep coming back to this classic color combination. Why is this?

OSU!!!

In less than a week I will be out of Washington and back down at Oregon State University in the lovely town of Corvallis, Oregon. I am so excited to go back and move into my new house! Go Beavers!

Smile

I agree with Design is Mine that smiling is the key. 

Masquerade Ball

I saw the Phantom of the Opera today at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle. It was fabulous of course. One of my favorite scenes is the masquerade ball. There is something so glamourous and seductive about dressing up and putting on a gorgeous mask. 

The Masquerade Ball in the Phantom of the Opera. 

A Masquerade Ball in season one of Gossip Girl. 

So chic.

P.S. I already have two masks from my trips to Venice and Florence.

 I am ready for the ball at any moment. 

Books

Thank you to Alkemie blog I found this wonderful picture. There are so many different aspects of this interior that I love. First off, all the books, the lovely green curtains, hot pink flowers, gorgeous rug, the sofa, and oh so much more. Love it. 

Love

Listening to Joshua Radin made my think of weddings. I think his music is perfect of weddings. So here are two gorgeous pictures from Style Me Pretty that I fell in love with.  

Love, umbrellas, and laughter.

I adore this veil.  So chic.
