beauty meets british monarchy

as soon as i saw these royal wedding nail decals, i obviously thought of alanna. it combines two of her favorite things: painting her nails and the royal wedding of prince william and kate middleton. i'm not sure if she would actually wear these or not, though. and fortuantely (or unfortunately) they're only available in westminster gift shops in london.

so the question is... alanna, would you wear these? what about you, readers - would you wear these decals??

paper cranes

let me tell you, my little sister is a paper crane making machine.  that girl can pound out those cranes like it is nobody's business.  i have been asking her for months to make me paper crane or paper star garland that i can put over my bed (note to buster brown - i am still patiently waiting for them!!)

when i saw these paper cranes at this wedding from style me pretty  i loved the effect of multiple rows of the cranes, wouldn't something like this make a cool headboard??  i'd love.

it kind of reminds me of the art above serena's bed in gossip girl, which i also love.

my dream desk?

jessy and i like to talk about our future apartment a lot. specifically we like to talk about a few things...the lack of stray cats that will be in the general vicinity, how cute it will be, and our office.  we spend a ton of time thinking about what we want to be in there, which is funny because both of us will most likely have jobs where we work in a real office, but still we like to day dream.  i saw this picture on home sweet home and i think it might be my ideal little desk space.  i love how inspirational the print is and all of the pens and pencils make me jealous.

a little getaway

for the next few days jessy and i will be on vacation..hopefully looking out on the scene above, we can't wait to spend some quality time enjoying the sun, beach, and the philadelphia phillies. we have a few posts scheduled for while we are gone, but hope everyone has an awesome week and we can't wait to be back next week with posts about our trip, st. patricks day and the start of summer (for delawareans at least). xoxo!

SPRING TRAINING!!!!!!!!

in two short days, jessy and i take off for clearwater, fl...home to the best team in baseball's spring training facilities. to say that we are excited would be an understatement, every other sentence references planned activities while there, R2C2, and the increased likelihood that we will see chase utley out at a bar with his knee injury (this is only a positive assuming he will be 100% a-okay by the start of the regular season). to prepare for this legendary trip, we scoped out some pretty awesome phillies shirts. here were some of our favorites:

get it? because we have the best pitching line-up in the league, you can't hit on us.

get to show our love for chase utley and america? life can't get much better than that.

classy and cute.

chicks do dig diamonds. and better yet this shirt is a performance shirt. oh yea.

and i am trying to get jessy to buy this bag to carry around while in clearwater...for some reason i haven't yet sold her on how fashionable that would be.

rhinos

i have a neon yellow rhino necklace that i got from jcrew a few years ago, i love it and oddly enough get a lot of compliments on it. i am starting to think i might have a thing for rhinos, because i am a huge fan of this brass rhino from high street market. i think it would look adorable sitting on my dresser.

the next justin bieber?

this five year old girl is absolutely adorable and her performance will make your heart melt. just wait until the 1:24 mark, it's my favorite part!

bored at work?

...take this face recognition quiz! i just took the famous faces test - i'm pretty well versed in the celebrity world so i wanted to test my skills. i got a 96%, which is above the average of 85%.

next i'm going to take the online cambridge face memory test which tests your memory of unfamiliar faces. i'm interested to see the results! my "nerd alert" reason why?: i always hear how often eye witnesses in a crime are wrong so i want to see how good my memory of unfamiliar faces is to see whether or not i would be a strong eye witness.

update: i just completed the cambridge face memory test....and i got 100%! i'm not kidding!! turns out i would be the best eye witness ever!

the latest trend in eco-friendly water bottles?

i like to pretend that i am doing my part to save the planet by using my camelback water bottle instead of buying an endless supply of dasani/polar springs/smart water bottles etc.  when i came across this "anti-bottle" water bottle at my life scoop i wasn't sure what to think at first...i was confused if they were reusable, easy to clean, etc.  but after checking out their website, it looks like these vapur water bottles are pretty legit.  i think i might have to buy one to try it out. they look like they would be great for the gym and traveling.  has anyone else used them before?
