recent addictions

I know I promised more posts about all the fabulous foods I’ve been making but I ran out of time this week to drum up a post. Instead, I wanted to tell you about all my recent addictions. Don’t worry, none of them will get me shipped off to rehab ala the lohan. 

Mad Men

I literally spent a whole week watching the first season and can proudly say that I will be glued to my television once July 28th hits because that is when season two starts. Affairs, striking men, bored housewives, New York City, and the “golden” age of advertising?! How could that not be amazing?! Not to mention, the set design and costumes will make you swoon. I think of Greta Garbo and Grace Kelly when I see these women flit across the screen. 

Watson Twins

Distracting music at work just doesn’t work for me. If it’s too loud or too rhythmic, I won’t focus on the floods of email I am trying to respond too. Lately, I’ve taken to listening to the folk-like sounds of the Watson Twin. I loved their project with Jenny Lewis and their new album, Fire Songs, doesn’t let me down. Plus, they do a cover of The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven” that they totally own.

Chinese proverbs

I saw this quote on one of the many blogs I subscribe too, and fell in love with it. It encompasses everything that I’ve been struggling with the past couple of months. I think I read this on Oh Joy! or Happy Day but let me know if you had this one your site so I can give you proper credit :)

Zooey Deschanel

Zooey’s hair and makeup in this video on Style.com is simple yet classic. How I long to have perfect bangs like her :( I never wanted to wear blue before, but now I think I might head off to the shops to find one. Zooey is one of those fashionistas that never lets me down. Did you see that Julien MacDonald yellow dress featured in that video? Man, can I get that donated please?!
