Cheez pleez

I absolutely love love Joanna's post about the perfect cheese platter. I very much enjoy having cheese platters at a get together, because there are few people who won't touch it. A few tips from her post:

-Buy one ounce per person per cheese (no more than 6 cheeses)
-Take the cheese out of the fridge one hour prior to the party (cheese should be served room temp)
- Cheeses should be arranged on the platter clockwise, from mildest to strongest: mildest at 12:00, strongest at 11:00.

Bon apecheese!

No woman is happy, who does not think herself so. Go make yourselves happy, peeps.

Leopard, leather, lust

There are a few people I'd kill to be friends with solely because I feel as though they'd make me infinitely cooler (Obama, Oprah, Pauly D, etc), and the Glamouri is one of them. Seriously, she's perfect! I know nothing about her other than what she blogs about, but I'd literally (okay maybe not literally, but literally) do anything to be her for like a week. My roommates and I were talking last night about how crazy I'd go if I were Beyonce for a day (told them I'd wear the most bootyliciuous outfits all day and have a huge party and invite everyone in her phone book, and constantly booty pop but like, who wouldn't), but I feel I'd have just as much fun being the Glamouri for day.

Gawd, I'm really creepy. G2G before this gets weird(er).

P.S. if anyone stumbles upon that skirt and that cropped leather jacket and is feeling especially giving, you know where I live (well maybe you don't but like email me or something and I'll give you my address or whatever).

A Daring Adventure

Life after college is scary. You have so many options, and having to decide on your own which one to choose is freaking me out. I'm kinda stuck in that in between, what-to-do-for-the-rest-of-my-life stage. Nonetheless, it's exciting, and it's a time for us to be daring and take some risks. Welp, here's to risk-taking!

Happy Friday!!!

This has felt like such a long week, and I absolutely cannot wait for it to be over. Work is creeping by, and I just want to be sitting right in this picture right now with my pals watching a movie and chompin' on some p.corn.

This weekend should be relaxing, relative to the weekends that I've been having. I'm going to watch my little sister star in her high school's Westside Story tonight, and I can't wait. Every time I hear her strong voice or see her prance about the stage, I get teary eyed. She's such a gem, and it's such a trip watching someone grow up right before your eyes. I can only imagine what parenthood is like. Well, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Below are some links around the web that I've enjoyed.

- A precious farmhouse wedding in New York

- Breakfast at Bergdorfs, yes please

- Wedding insight for an affordable, personal and unique wedding

- A Diamond pinata, why not

- New sunglasses or these because my $5 aviators from the swapmeet are getting a li-ttle old

- Some lavender, because the look, smell, and taste of it are a weird, weird obsession of mine

- And just in case you haven't seen this, and because it is Friday...

Hi cuties
