I Bought Books: Jane Austen, Stephen Chbosky

Sense and Sensibility, because I wanted to read it after finishing Pride and Prejudice and realized whoever borrowed my copy (I really need to start keeping track of who I lend books to) never returned it.

Autographed copy of Perks of Being a Wallflower--because everyone tells me I need to read it and I figured if I'm going to buy it why not an autographed copy.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something green?

Would you wear green to your wedding? Oscar de la Renta included this piece in his Spring 2011 bridal collection. I love the skirt (the top not so much).


You know I would =)

Cave Houses in Cappadocia, Turkey

"The first period of settlement in Göreme goes back to the Roman period. The Yusuf Koç, Ortahane, Durmus Kadir and Bezirhane churches in Göreme, houses and churches carved into rocks in the Uzundere, Bağıldere and Zemi Valleys are all carriers of history that we can see today. The Göreme Open Air Museum is the most visited site of the monastic communities in Cappadocia (see Churches of Göreme, Turkey) and is one of the most famous sites in central Turkey. The complex contains more than 30 rock-carved churches and chapels, some of them have superb frescoes inside, dating from the 9th to the 11th centuries."

Stuff I'm looking at today: Tab Candy, Sustainable Prefabs, Julian Koenig and Chrome Experiments

Firefox Tab Candy
Mozilla's new "Tab Candy" seems like an awesome fix to the problem of crammed tab browsing (the Boyan always gets mad at me for having a million tabs open), but the question still remains, "Is is as fast or faster than chrome?"

Amazing pre-fab sustainable homes from Method Homes.

This American Life: 383 Origin Story
If you've been watching Mad Men some of this story might sound familiar. Real life Mad Men fighting for recognition for some of America's most iconic advertising campaigns on This American Life.

"TAL producer Sarah Koenig tells the story of her father, Julian Koenig, the legendary advertising copywriter whose work includes the slogan “Timex takes a licking and keeps on ticking” and Volkswagen’s “Think Small” ads. For years Sarah has heard her dad accuse a former partner of stealing some of his best ideas, but until recently she never paid much attention.Then she started asking her dad for details of this fight for his legacy, and what she learned surprised her. "

Inspiration from Emerson

‎"Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house a world; and beyond its world, a heaven. Know then, that the world exists for you."

Oh the Whimsy!

These dresses from Marchesa's Fall 2010 line are beyond beautiful.

When we were fearless...

This blogpost has been haunting me for the past few days, combine that with the Season Finale of Glee reminding me of the time when I played Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz in fifth grade.

I was so fearless then. What happened?

"We’re pretty healthy at…five. What happens to that over the years…well, there are books about it. Girls lose their gumption for myriad reasons. Teachers talk about that—there’s a moment, as they transition from elementary to middle school when you can actually see them “shrink.” Even in the toughest ones, something wavers. In the timid ones, something dies. And many never regain that early fearlessness. Cowed by societal standards of behavior and beauty."

Oh, and Happy New Year.

Tempted by P.C. and Kristin Cast Out October 27th

How did I not know that a new House of Night series book was coming out in just 12 days!

I'm really excited to find out what's going to happen in Tempted. Ever since I finished Hunted (was that all the way back in March? Insane) I've been waiting to hear what's going to happen since Zooey banished Neferet. Maybe we'll finally figure out which guy Zooey chooses as well. Maybe?

Although from the looks of the cover of the book...

It seems like there's going to be all kinds of live triangle drama. I can't wait.

You can read the first chapter or listen to the first two on their website here.
