party friday

I've kind of (OK completely) forgone Whimsical Wednesdays because there were not really enough things to wish for.

However, every now and then I still stumble upon something fabulous/lavish/beautiful that causes me to dream that way again.

This table has me lusting. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland and really makes me wish I could throw a party around it.

At my party, I'd serve these cupcakes, too. Wouldn't they look nice sitting atop the table?

C is for cake...

 And T is for tea party!

And don't you just love these plates from Just Noey?

I wish they had a W for Whitney.

Or watermelon.

No.

For Whitney.

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].

If you're not a member of ideeli, make sure to join here :)

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?
