this little lady is thrilled because of the loufest line-up announced on wednesday. and guess who already has tickets because of her totally awesome friend eric? yep, moi.

my ultimate girl-crush zooey deschanel will be in the STL august heat playing with m. ward (squeal!)

this girl can sing, act, has a sweet pad AND is a fashion maven. does it get any better than that?

small stakes.

after recently moving into a new apartment, i have been thinking about new/different wall decor. i've been a fan of small stakes studio for a while now.

they have the best collection of music posters from a bunch of my favorite bands.

they would also be great gifts for some of my music loving friends and family. buy them here.

mail time.

have you seen these new abstract expressionist stamps?! i love the clyfford still, mark rothko and joan mitchell ones.

and they are HUGE.

we're talking 2" x 2.5" on that pollock stamp. now that makes a statement.

the king and queen of hearts are my other go-to favorites that i just keep buying. they were designed by a NYC graphic designer based on french playing cards.

it's that time of year again.

yep, time for shamrock shakes and filet-o-fish
(or filet-a-fish, however you want to say it)

this commercial always has me in a fit of giggles. so stupid. so silly. i just love it.

super bowl sunday.

i am not usually a huge fan of spending afternoons watching pro sports on the tube, but i do enjoy myself a good superbowl party. i enjoy watching the commercials and love any excuse to eat buffalo chicken dip, ribs, hot wings and all the other yummy high-calorie foods that are typical superbowl party fare.

this year my contribution is dessert. i came across a recipe for chocolate chip cookie dough truffles via the blog love and olive oil.

super easy to whip up and de-lish! hoping they are a hit at the party tonight. i'm going to call it now...they may be the new cakepop! you can find the recipe here and you MUST try it, but i will advise you to have eaters on hand because they are seriously addictive.

be mine.

these pretty little things showed up at my door yesterday from rifle paper co.

can't wait to send them out to my favorite people and let them know how much i adore them and appreciate their love.

happy birthday dad!

i am lucky enough to have my parents visiting this weekend to celebrate my dad's birthday! we are spending the weekend drinking wine, watching football, going to the farmer's market, visiting the art musuem and eating lots of yummy food.

couldn't ask for a more loving or supportive dad. he can be pretty funny too! so glad that his job brings him to stl and we have had the chance to spend so much time together. we've made lots of memories exploring the city together over the last 6 years...and i am sure many more to come!
