Wishful thinking

It's icy and gray in Houston, and I wish I were here... or had this in my life.

She's Crafty... And She's Just My Type

... To quote the Beastie Boys. Anyway, do you know the blog PS I Made This? I'm so inspired. I'm going straight to Michael's after work because I have that kind of time on my hands.




And in somewhat unrelated news, how great does my girlfriend Mila Kunis look here? This gives me inspiration to wear another color besides black.

Zinc furniture

I guess zinc is having a moment right now, and I am such a sucker for a trend, but I love the look. It's a great indoor/outdoor material because it doesn't rust. Plus, it looks so great with the rustic, French look.

Andrea Barnett Jewelry

When we were at a Christmas party this season, I met a girl who was wearing the prettiest necklaces. She said the pieces were made by Andrea Barnett out of Dallas and available at Charde right by my house in Houston. I've loved the religious jewelry I've been seeing lately, but it's just so outrageously priced. The Andrea Barnett line is in the $100-$200 range, so much more affordable than other lines (but just as pretty).

Work stuff

We decided to build a 15th c. chapel in our parking lot at work to evoke some holiday cheer (since it's been about 70 degrees everyday).
