Gimmie that Double Digest!

Some of my favorite issues ever!

Did you read Archie comics as a kid? I did.. and I loved them! My parents couldn't buy me enough of them, as far as I was concerned. We spent our summers at the Lake of the Ozarks, which entailed an eight hour drive to and from... I liked to read, but my parents were hesitant to take library books on the boat for fear of my ruining them with the surrounding water... thus, my love for Archie comics was born and continued to develop. To me, Archie comics were synonymous with summer; and double digests were the only ones that could keep me entertained for any length of time...

... enjoy summer my friends; we're halfway done already!

Sweet Eats!

While visiting Anthropologie earlier this week, I picked up a sweet read titled The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook. I admit I was drawn to is candy-shell colored cover, as I am with most books... but was even more impressed with the layout and photos of the recipes inside! [ps. The book doesn't seem to be available on the Anthropologie website, but is available on Amazon.com via the link previously mentioned.]

The Hummingbird Bakery is an American bakery based in London and highly sought after! Now, we can bring those delicious baked goods directly into our own homes by choosing from a delectable selection of cupcakes, cakes, pies, brownies/bars, muffins and cookies!

As you flip through the cookbook, each page looks tastier than the previous and you know you'll have a book full of tagged pages when you get done noting each recipe that you want to try... I will attempt to remain diligent to post a new recipe from the book each week... please nudge me if I forget!

Pssst! Have you seen the new Anthropologie website? Swoon!

Blue Swim-Where?

Why are all of my favorite swimsuits blue and why do I have so many? Where do I think I'm going to be swimming with any regularity? ..and why, after I make this statement, do I still post a photo of this:

...and insist that I want it?

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

Are you checking out our new layout? What do you think? Positives, Negatives? What would you like to see more of, less of?

Speak now or forever hold your peace!

Today's Etsy Find

I realize this is reserved for someone else
and I already own one very much like it,

... but I really want this gorgeous necklace found on the Savage Slave shop!

Always dreaming of redecorating...

Thanks to the blog post titled Bliss: I heart Monday., I have found yet another home decor store that I will likely dream about tonight... Based in the U.K., Rockett St George is a phenomenal option for all of our European friends! [...and if the exchange rate was more favorable, all of us in the U.S. too!]

Here are some of my favorites:
