Quote of the day...

I needed this one today. 




Tortoiseshell Glasses

Have you noticed that every celebrity and fashion blogger is most often photographed in sunglasses? I think there's a rhyme to their reason. Here are a few pairs I wouldn't mind adding to my collection (perhaps a post-launch gift to myself?)...

Whether you're screening yourself from the sun, keeping yourself from squinting, or mugging for the camera, there's a pair of tortoiseshell glasses for everyone! Which pair is your favorite?

Faux Calligraphy

One of the tasks on my 101 in 1001 list is to take a calligraphy lesson. Since that's not exactly in the cards right now, I was absolutely thrilled to stumble upon this tutorial for "faux calligraphy" from Jones Design Company via Pinterest.

I played around with different scripts and I have to say I love the way they turned out! In fact I'm afraid I've created a monster ;) Of course it's not as good as the real deal but it'll definitely tide me over... and give me a reason to keep practicing!
