SHAUNA

I may not be thrifting much nowadays but at least I have this vivacious chica to keep me semi-sane at work! You've probably seen Shauna around here before. We enjoy silly photoshoots throughout the day. She's Canadian (holla, Canucks!) and is super passionate about school gardening. Check out her beautiful wedding that was recently featured on Poppytalk. I love her style. And if you're wondering where her sweet coat is from, it's sold out at Anthropologie but we tracked one down on ebay for ya. :)

FINE THINGS

I've been a bad vintage vulture. I can't remember the last time I visited a thrift store. Remember those days when I would frequent not one, but ten thrifts in a day? I need those days back desperately. I'm gonnna try to hit up at least one during my lunch break today.

I didn't get as much done with the house as planned. I got a call from my mom and sis begging me to babysit my adorable niece on Sunday. Can't say no to that lil monster. We watched the Oscars together and posed as Angelina Jolie's leg all night. It was fun. Hot damn, it's insane how a leg can cause such a media frenzy. I still need to see The Artist. I loved The Beginners and throughly enjoyed The Descendants and The Help. Come to think of it, I think I wept like a baby in all of them.

Let's talk about some of the knickityknacks in the photo. I got a Mast Brothers chocolate when I was in New York. I'm sure it's as delicious as it looks. I can't seem to rip it open just yet. The black candle is by Voluspa and their maison noir is my favorite scent. My living room stays delicious to the nose even when it's not lit. Mini organic herb soaps in the small farmer's basket are from Morning Calm.

And this concludes our little New York adventure! I can't wait to go back in the fall. Thanks for following along and leaving sweet comments. I've been entertaining the idea of moving there for a year or two. OBN takes on NYC! What do you think about that? Unfortunately, the heartmate and Beatrice can't tag along so we'll have to see. What I really need to do first, is get my home together for a home tour. It's been, what, three months now? Unacceptable. So, while everyone's getting hammered at Oscar parties this weekend, I'll be hammering up the place. Alright, have a fantastic weekend!

DONUT PLANT

You gotta try this place. It's called Donut Plant. And the crème brûlée donuts are super!
