Little Things

I just found the happiest blog. It's called Little Things. It is a "list of all the simple things we should appreciate". Perfection. What a great thing to read each morning. Go check it out.thank you to my family, friends, and Joel for this one.

Luna coming back home. So true.

Joel is excellent at listening and remembering. One of the many reasons why I love him.

Sweet Nothings

I have the pleasure to announce my second guest post from Danielle from Sweet Nothings. I unfortunately haven't had the lovely opportunity to meet Danielle in person (boo her for living in a sunny state) but I feel we would be instant friends if we met. The girl is charming and we are on the same wave length on sooo many fabulous things. So if you haven't check out Sweet Nothings then head on over there now. She is bound to make you smile. Now the moment you have been waiting for....Danielle's three things that make her smile. Enjoy.

1- Georgie, my pup

I seriously cannot look at him without smiling. He is the cutest, most perfect little pudding and is so full of character. I was running errands this weekend and when I came home I found him like this, snuggled under his blankets. How can you not smile looking at his precious mug!

2- Handwritten Notes on fabulous stationary

In a world of emails/texts/facebook/twitter, nothing beats getting a little hello from a girlfriend in the mail. I am always picking up stationary, and am currently obsessed with these Leopard "Holler" Note cards from Jamie's Furbish Studio

3-Gorgeous Clothes

There is something about a fabulous evening dress that just makes my heart flutter. This one, from Oscar De La Renta's Spring 2011 collection is the epitome of girly glam. In my mind, it would be perfect just to wear around my condo...But doesn't it just scream Old New York? Now, if one of you ladies has a black tie event you want to invite me to, I'm ready and willing to purchase!via.

Thanks Danielle! I might come down and steal your puppy for an afternoon...

For The Love Of Petersen

A new series starts today! Yep, you read it right. I am planning on doing a series of guest post from bloggers on the topic of "Three things that make you smile". A fun and happy little series to brighten your day. If you are interested in being a guest blogger then email me (lovelyhappenings@live.com) your three things, pictures, text, links, etc.

To start off the new series, we have the very witty and sarcastic Alana from "For the Love of Petersen". Alana is a family friend that I have known growing up and this girl has excellent fashion taste and well delivered jokes. So check out her blog and the three things that make her smile below. Drum-roll please....

1) Honey's Tail. Nothing in the world is better than seeing my puppy's tail wagging out of control. No joke. She brings new meaning to the "Bark less, wag more" bumper sticker I've seen around town. Actually that never meant anything to me until I met my little Honey. Everyone who can deal with it should get a dog. (Caveat Emptor: "Dealing with it" is a pretty insane responsibility.)

2) Successful Culinary Adventures. Ah, I'm becoming so domestic... I love to try new things in the kitchen even after a really long day at work/school. That's how I know it makes me happy. The added bonus of a successful experiment (ie. transforming an already delicious dish to a healthier version) brings a big fat smile to my face every time. My latest masterpiece? Turkey burgers that I forgot to take a picture of. Check out the recipe here.

3) Witty IM Conversations. Does this make me a super nerd? I save the records of funny IM conversations for rainy (aka emotional) days. I love me some inside jokes, puns, sarcasm and cynicism. Make mine a double.

Speaking of which, I truly feel I need to add my most favorite smile-inducing-agent, my old friend Gin and his buddy Tonic. Best ever.

Isn't her puppy adorable?!!!! P.S. I am also up for a gin and tonic too.

I always loved Jonathan Adler. He just makes everything happier. These pieces are all just so fabulous.

Today is a good day

Today I talked the parking ticket man out of giving me a parking ticket! Well, he wrote it and had just stuck it on my window. I got off with a warning.

I also won two tickets to Bill Nye The Science Guy (I am actually excited about it) from our local radio station kink too!

I can't wait to see what tonight holds for me! I am crossing my fingers!
