Life's Little Naughties

Everyone needs a little wiggle room, a little naughty to liven up the nice, a little idiosyncracy sprinkled here and there like sinful powdered sugar, a knee-trembling weakness to know we are all after all, human. These are a few of my life's little naughties:


True blue romance and fairytale endings


Every girl wants a fairytale ending. I wrote that five years ago and I'll write that again today. Love is timeless, and I'll never be ashamed of crying at a romantic movie. (See the heart between the two lovers?)


A Scent in a Bottle

Tiny perfume bottles-- which is prettier, the bottle or the scent? I can't honestly say.


All Things Shiny


Was I a bird in my past life? For there is nothing shiny that won't catch my eye, ranging from bling-bling jewelry to sophisticated branded wear. You will rarely catch me without a watch on my hand.


All Things Miniature


Yes, I know they are just plastic toys the size of a quarter. But I will willingly spend five minutes of my time gushing over them at a store display window, no matter how much of a hurry I'm in.


The Solace of a Well-Loved Book


Words well-placed gives me a thrill that nothing else in this world can; oh what power lyrical prose has upon my thirsty mind. A great book can be a friend, lover, and rapturous teacher.


A Little Gossip Here and There
Spends, trends, and how to make amends. Great coffee-shop reading or 10-minutes-between-classes browsing but never really worth the buck, heavens no.


Gorgeous Dresses

No explanations necessary. Ask my (over)-stuffed closet.


Sweet Hot Drinks

Cold day, warm day, any day, take it iced or take it spiced - I'll take it all, any time. One of my dreams is to convert caffeine into workable, beautiful ideas.


Chocolate Mousse


There is almost no way I can resist a bite of pillow-soft, sweet, gooey mousse, no, not even on the fullest stomach or to save my life.
