Very happy! Very chic!

Pump the breaks... Jonathan Adler has a line for JC Penny?! Holy amazing!

clockwise from top left:
panels // desk // bookends // bookshelf // cube // bubble vase // tray // bench // foo dogs // bowl // plate // sofa // large vase // medium vase // small vase

The bookshelf and the desk is winking at me. I'm also loving this guy. Anyway, this is just the tip of the iceberg... you have to check out his whole collection! So good!

dream desk

Sitting at a desk all day is not my favorite thing to do... so I was thinking about what would make it better? Well, a lot of things but a pretty desk is a great place to start. Here are few of my dream desk essentials.

sale alert: j.crew

I don't know about you but summer is on my mind all day everyday. And now, thanks to J.Crew, we can pretend we will see temps above 70 in our near future.

The Crew is having a 25% off sale on all shorts, tees, and swim! And if you're feeling a little like a baller... you'll get free shipping with a $100 or more purchase. I might need to pick up a few things if only to make myself feel better about this crappy weather in Boston. Use code SUNNYDAYS at checkout. (I wish I could buy a sunny day...) Ends Sunday.

Here's what I'm picking up...

1. Since I'm pretty much allergic to the sun, this would be a life saver. Fitting name too.

2. This and this are a perfect match for 1... Clearly, I have a serious stripe problem. People are concerned.

3. An essential basic. Buying one in every color.

4. Loving this shirt. It would go so well with 5, 6 or 7.

5. Another basic. I don't leave home without them in the summer. Every.Color.

6. These are a new classic. Definitely giving them a shot this summer. I just need to stop calling them "jorts" first.

7. So pretty. Love eyelet.

8. Duh.

paris, massachusetts

You're welcome. I just thought I would get that out of the way first.

So I found Paris in Boston. Tatte is a coffee shop in Kendall Square and it's a little slice of heaven. The cappuccinos are delish, the menu is incredible, the pastries are authentic*, and the decor is exactly what I want in a coffee shop. Since I am not planning a trip to Paris until the Fall, this will have to do. And it will.

Btw, if we are friends... chances are I will bring you to Tatte in the near future. Get excited!

I am so happy Mother Nature stopped being a little b. The weather is coming around and I'm getting my daily dose of vitamin d again. In honor of my good mood, I would like to take a minute to share a few of my favorite things for Spring. Hold on to your butts.
