WHICH TV SHOWS DO YOU WATCH?
Since moving to my own apartment, I find I rarely turn my television on. I don't think to have it on during the day while I'm working and I'm almost never lounging around at night waiting for a favorite show to come on. While I like to think this means I'm busy living life away from my sofa, I do miss the fun of following my favorite characters or getting sucked into a new season DVD. Here are a few of the shows I've been hooked on this past year...
I love pretty costumes and interiors as much as the next girl but it's Downton Abbey's various love stories I can't resist. I'm a full season behind so no spoilers please!
Again I'm super behind on watching Girls but I do think it's my generation's take on Sex and the City albeit far less glamorous. Is Allison Williams not the most gorgeous person you've ever laid eyes on?
Never has a show gotten my heart racing quite like Homeland does. The suspense might actually kill me! I watched the first two seasons in probably two weeks and can't wait for the third season to debut in September.
I love when a show makes you think! The Newsroom is full of brilliant dialogue and stimulating coverage of current affairs. Plus the female main character's name is Mackenzie and almost makes me want to go by Mack instead of Kenzie.
Oh, The Office. I've seen every episode (many of them more than once) and will undoubtedly cry during the series finale in two weeks. Dear Jim, will you marry me?
Are you obsessed with any of the same shows? What series should I delve into next?

KATE SPADE SATURDAY
Three pocket tank dress // Sexy back top (so cute!) // Scoopback dress
How cute are these spring things from Kate Spade Saturday? An affordable offshoot of the brand we all love, Saturday is brimming with wearable pieces in the most perfectly punchy hues. While I'd hardly describe my style as "sexy," I'm dying to wear the sexy back top with white skinny jeans and these shoes. Cute, cute, cute!

OUTFIT {SCALLOPED SHORTS}
Tory Burch satchel // K. Slademade tassel // C. Wonder initial cuff // J.Crew striped espadrilles (available in solid colors here)
Scallops and stripes — two of my favorites! I've been living in these silk tanks from J.Crew (I have the navy and the periwinkle!) and wish this exact pair of espadrilles from last year were still available online because I couldn't wait to bring them out of my closet for the first time this spring. These shorts from Shop Dandy are the comfiest new addition to my spring/summer wardrobe — you should definitely check out Danielle's site for lots of affordable dresses and tops! What's the one item in your closet you're most excited to be able to wear now that warm weather is here?!

CONFESSION: I CAN'T COOK!
It's All Good // Foolproof // Plenty // Sprouted Kitchen
Thank goodness for cereal and roasted vegetables because I cannot cook to save my life. (What a lousy lifestyle blogger that makes me!) I'm a vegetarian which ought to make my life easier (how hard is it to whip up a bowl of whole wheat pasta?) but even working from home I rarely feel motivated to cook a homemade meal. There's the issue of my ancient oven taking forever to heat up, my dog kamikaze-ing toward the countertop while I chop veggies, not to mention the pile of dishes awaiting me after the fact... I give people who cook every day a lot of credit! Now that I'm living on my own, I'd like to make more of an effort to get comfortable in the kitchen (#wishfulthinking) so I'm turning it over to you:
1) Do you bring lunch or snacks to work during the week? What do you make?
2) What's your go-to dinner during the week?
CLARE VIVIER MONOGRAMMED CATCH-ALL
As if her clutches weren't cute enough, Clare Vivier wins my undying affection with this monogrammed catch-all in navy leather. I'm also obsessed with this flat clutch (I see you, neon pink stripe) and this iPad case (despite the fact that I'm the last person on the planet sans iPad). You know, my birthday is three months away right around the corner...!

4 SHOWER CURTAINS I LOVE
My friend Carver emailed me asking for help finding a shower curtain for her new apartment and I decided it'd be a good challenge for a blog post! Here are four favorites I came up with...
I think the stripes are my favorite! Or you could just monogram yours like I did ;)

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO L'ICONA
I'm seriously smitten with Ferragamo's L'Icona campaign to celebrate 35 years of its most famous flat, the Vara. You must watch the video and tell me you don't want to add every single pair to your closet immediately! You'll spot some of your favorite tastemakers like Lauren Santo Domingo, Minnie Mortimer, Olivia Palermo... and you can see all their shoe picks here! Shop Ferragamo flats online here — I can't get this pretty pair out of my head.

BORROWED FROM THE BOYS
I've always admired girls who can pull off a baseball cap. Not only is it smart for safe sunning purposes but there's something effortlessly cool about a preppy girl who can throw on a backwards cap and head to the beach. Will any of you be borrowing this style tip from the boys?

HANNA SEABROOK'S HOME TOUR
How gorgeous is my friend Hanna's Charleston abode? I can't get enough of all the blue and white, warm woods, and of course her darling pup Henrietta. Hanna designed my blog a couple years ago and since then I've had the pleasure of meeting her in person — she is every bit as charming and witty as she is on her blog! Be sure to check out her full feature on The Glitter Guide and a few pieces below to help recreate Hanna's look!
Someone talk me out of that skirt for dinners on Nantucket...!
