"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift."

in the mail

There's something double exciting about ordering things online. The excitement of the find and purchase and days later the excitement of the arrival of a beautiful brown box sitting at the door step. I just received these beauties in the mail yesterday, just in time for Michigan's first snow fall of the season.

Ode to The Man Repeller

One of my favorite style blogs is The Man Repeller. Leandra is a comical writer with an amazing voice and eye for fashion. One of my favorite accessories she has brought to the forefront of style is the "Arm Party." 

Here is my take this week. Make sure you check her out here. She's awesome! 

Start with a watch (mens inspired) add some sparkle and a few extras.

 The Glitter Guide featured Samantha of Could I Have That this week and I just had to share this. She has a great sense of style, decor and everything delicious. Her blog is one of my favorites and I'm so glad we can get a peek inside her home. 

Here are just a few of my favorite shots of her and her home. Check out more of her interview at the Glitter Guide.
