Lovely Jessica Hische

Jessica Hische just gave me the inspiration I need to design an invitation today. I am in love with how she combines fonts to make a perfect design!

Lovely Secret...

Secret Squirrel Clothing just provided the burst of inspiration I was needing to make it through this last month of semi-cold weather.

Lovely Haitian Prayers...

In lieu of doing a blog post today, I am asking you to go here instead.

This past weekend my sister, Keely, put together a beautiful post combining Haitian prayers and photos from her trips to Haiti with Compassion.

Today, while you read her blog, I ask that you use this time to pray for those still lost in the rubble, and give praise for those found.

Lovely Boutique: Bird

{Sister, Keely, & her hubby Gabe with their compassion sponsor child, Misna, who lives in Haiti}

Bird, a Brooklyn boutique, has been on my share list for quite some time. Today seemed to be the perfect day to talk about this delightful store, since they are joining forces with Fashion Delivers to lend a hand to Haiti victims.

This weekend, Bird will donate 10% of their profits, including sale items, to the cause.

{Another great way to give is through Compassion's website or Text "disaster" to 90999 to give $10 to their Haiti relief efforts.}

Lovely Oxfords

{Madewell}

I have been on a search for the perfect pair of oxfords since October.

At least three times a week, I wake up with the urge to throw on my boyfriend jeans, comfy t-shirt, cute belt & a pair of these lovelies.

Lovely Music

{Snow Patrol & Martha Wainwright "Set the Fire to the Third Bar"}

I've always loved duets, the harmony of voices just makes me swoon. Here are my current obsessions:

{Joshua Radin & Ingrid Michaelson "Sky"}

{Trent Dabbs & Ashley Monroe "Your Side Now"}
What songs you are loving right now?
Thank you La Dolce Vita for inspiring this post!

Lovely Calendar

{Paper and Linklin}

I am on the hunt for a unique 2010 calendar that won't break the bank.

Here are a few of my final choices from the fabulous Etsy.com:

{Sarah Pinto}

{Lily Jane Stationery}

{redstarINK's}

{Letter C Design}

{Keepsake Couture}

Which one do you vote for? Where did you find your 2010 calendar?

Lovely Fitness Room

Reality just hit that I am in a wedding this April. I will be one of the profile shot, look at my giant arms, bridesmaids.

This will not do.

I am not one for New Year resolutions, but I have decided to make a few.

1) Find out the code to my apt. fitness room.

...and use it.

2) No longer allowed to buy Diet Coke for my apt.

...restaurants are allowed.

3) Buy Advil.

...for sore muscles and Diet Coke withdrawals.

The One That Got Away...

Saturday, Mom and Dad came into Austin for a perfect day of shopping and food. The day was a great success with delicious food and delectable shopping.

However, there was one item that seemed to slip through my fingers.

My sweet friends at J. Crew have searched high and low for this little beauty in my size with no luck.

One day, I will find you my love.
