I am lacking any motivation for blogging at the moment. I know. Lame. So sorry. Instead I am going to leave you some pretty pictures.

Minus The Bear - My Time

Turn off the lights
and touch me in the dark
fade into the feeling
whisper in my ear
what you want
what you need
tell me my name
tell me my name
again, again, again, again
just yell out my name baby

I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)
my time
I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)

you taste like sweet wine
we are magnified
the sweat rolls down your thigh
were making moves so bright
it's what you want
it's what you need
i'm just the same baby

I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)
my time
I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)
my time

and you're holding on to me like an old love
that you know every inch of
when I feel you start to go
take it slow, 'til your body's saying more...baby!


I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)
my time
I got your nights (I got your nights)
I got your days (I got your days)
I got you on (I got you on)
my time

gonna be on
my time
my time

I got your nights (I got your days)
I got your days (I got you on)
I got you on
my time

Hurry up already

I cannot wait!

Add it to the Wish List

Isn't this dress so stinkin' cute? (The answer is clearly yes). Nordstrom, why do you do this to me?

Buy it here.

And You Give Video - Matthew Barber

This video makes me laugh. My youngest sister suggested I listen to Matthew Barber. I am glad I actually took her advice. Thanks Coco. It is a catchy little song.

I love you and I hate you at the very same time

I sat here today while eating my delicious lunch.

(Sometimes life is bittersweet).

Two Things You Must Know

1. Jamie Cullum is fantastic live! I highly recommend seeing him in concert if you ever get a chance. He has so much energy and is incredibly talented and entertaining. He played for over two hours last night. Go see him and you won't be disappointed.

2. You need to see a concert at the Crystal Ballroom. It is an awesome space and definitely has the Portland vibe. You get delicous McMenamins beer too. And there is the "floating" dance floor. Really cool when everything jumps. Check it out sometime.

LBD

I wish I could wear this outfit this weekend. Too bad I already have a dress for the wedding.

LBD by Lovely Happenings featuring Valentino shoes

treat

This women came into work yesterday looking for fabric for her cupcake store called treat that she is planning on opening soon. She was going for blues and purples but I went a different direction. This is what came to my mind.

I love the "Balloon" Schumacher wallpaper.

Wegner Wishbone

I just LOVE Wegner Wishbone chairs. Gorgeous. And I actually don't mind the light wood color of them. They are paired so nicely with the table.

Country

I am a city girl. Horses scare me. I like having neighbors just across the hall. I don't do cowboy boots. But this city girl is going to Central Washington for a wedding this weekend. I envision a fantastic hoedown with cowboy boots and horses galore for a country wedding. It would be a fun, different experience. But I don't think that vision will be coming true considering the wedding is in a museum. But if I were a country girl, this is what my wedding would look like.... via.

(of course, inspiration boards from Snippet & Ink)

Maybe I could do the country...nah, I'll pass.

Covet

I have fallen in love with Jamie's from I Suwannee living room.

Quinn's Nursery

I think it is a problem when I am jealous of a baby's nursery. Jenny at Little Green Notebook is designing a nursery for baby Quinn. Quinn's lucky mom works at Anthropologie and scored some major deals. So darn cute! (My good friend, Cristina, works at Anthro and is expecting...perfect inspiration board for her). Check out the original post here.

Blue Tape

I wish I had the ability to paint. Stupid apartment living with wood walls. I would love a Chevron wall! via.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I hope you all had a fabulous green and beer filled St. Patrick's Day. Yep, this is what my father wore today. And now you understand why I am crazy. Love it. Awesome outfit Dad!

...and this is why I love my Dad.

John Mayer reading tweets from the stage

I love John Mayer. I am so excited for his concert. Two weeks!

Music Time

I have a music obsession. I sadly have no musical talents but I definitely appreciate other's talents. I love exploring new artists (always up for suggestions.) I also enjoy passing on my new music finds to other people. So here you go (click on their names to explore more about them)....

Josh Hoge. I have been listening to Josh's brother, Will Hoge, for years now. I was very excited when I found out that Will had a younger brother. They are both very talented. Defiantly runs in the family. Check out 360 and Beautiful Distraction.

V.V. Brown. She is British and kicks ass. I posted one of her music videos a bit ago (here). I recommend her song Everybody. She is also incredibly pretty. She is coming to Portland next month. Tickets are super cheap so definitely look up her tour to see if she is coming to a city near you.

Brandon Chandler. Yeah, good looking...I know. And he has a fabulous and unique voice. And he is from Portland. I always love local artists. I just discovered him and am liking what I hear (and see). I am loving the songs Give Me Some Time, Give It Up, and

Until the Whiskey Wears Off. Okay, all the songs are wonderful.

Jamie Cullum. I absolutely adore this British jazz-pop singer. I am crossing my fingers that I will be able to make it to his concert in a week. You probably have heard of him because he is fantastic. If not, go listen now. Listen to All At Sea and Wheels. Oh, or his cover of High & Dry.

Okay, that is it for now. Hopefully you found something new that you enjoyed. Seriously, take the time to listen to them. They are all definitely worth it. Let me know if you have any new music suggestions for me. Thanks.

Pinch Me Green

Here are some inspiring green interiors to help channel your inner Irish. Bring out the green. (I would love to wear either this or this...clearly in the green version on St. Patrick's Day.)

One Eskimo - Kandi

Okay, Youtube is officially pissing me off. So you should go HERE and watch the video from One Eskimo. My friend and I saw them yesterday at an in-store performance and they were wonderful live. And they were super nice and British.

Flame Stitch

I love Kelly Wearstler. She is fabulous. Her dinnerware line is no exception. If only I could afford any of it. The tea cup is still way out of my price range. Wait, who actually can afford any of this?

buy the "Pickfair" line here.

dining table

My roommate and I bought this dining room table last summer. I just wish ours looked half as good as it does in this home.

(shhh. the table is from ikea)

Sail

For some reason I have drawn to this Pillow by Thomas Paul. I don't really enjoy sailing...not that I know of.

via.

Brian Geraghty

I think Brian Geraghty is so incredibly adorable. You might remember him in Jarhead or Bobby. Or the Oscar winning The Hurt Locker (I feel head over heels for his cuteness while watching it). I am posting pictures just to make me happy and hopefully someone else. Enjoy.

Chesterfield

I am on the lookout for a new, adult couch. I want this one please.

My current sofa inspiration: Chesterfields!

Chesterfield: an overstuffed davenport with upright armrests

Adorable Little Boy Gives A-OK to Gay Marriage

Update: Ugh. The video doesn't work. The point is that we should allow gay marriage. This kid is so stinkin' cute. Watch this argument for gay marriage. Wonderful.

Food Inc.

Just finished watching Food Inc. I am seriously considering becoming a vegetarian. I am buying local and organic from now on. I am so lucky I live in Oregon where this is easily a possibly. You seriously need to watch this movie! It is incredibly enlightening.

She & Him - In The Sun

I love Zooey Deschanel! I can't wait for Volume Two from She & Him that comes out on March 23rd. Enjoy the new video. Happy Wednesday!

adorable

I haven't ever had a problem with Simon Cowell and this makes me like him even more. He was on Jay Leno and Jay proceeded to bring out Simon's fiancee.

boldly romantic

Absolutely loving this inspiration board from Snippet & Ink! Perfection.

Of course, I love this Eddie Ross room from the inspiration board.
