in need?

Because I spent months on end looking for luggage and am still looking for a watch (Will I like wearing it? Do I really want to spend very much on one? Would I accidentally wear it in the shower?), I figured it was by fate that I stumbled upon ideeli today.  The site is offering Anne Klein luggage and Esq watches at 1/3 the original retail price.

Although I don't see myself any closer to a decision on the watch, I felt the least I could do was share. The low prices are the perfect solution, as both items create the constant internal conflict of: I want a nice one, but there is SUCH wear and tear on [watches/luggage].

spring weekend?

I don't know if I've ever felt this way about winter, but January is flying by.  Is it seriously halfway over this weekend?

Even though there are about a million (for real) things I'm looking forward to from now until spring, and I'm certainly not wishing the time away, these spring things have me smitten.

Would it be inappropriate to wear a sundress out this weekend?

ducky ducky

I really do not like birds. I think they're scary (thanks Home Alone pigeon scene) and kind of dirty, and I'm constantly worrying they're going to give me the bird flu.

However, I'm consistently drawn to jewelry with birds on it.  Is my subconscious trying to purge my body of its fear?

Or, maybe, they're just normally very well done. For example, these adorable Piper bobby pins.  I think it would be OK if I wear them, since they look more like ducks than birds. And ducks are much less scary.
