Fiddlebugs

Ok, how stinkin' cute are THESE??? Jenni Salter, founder of Fiddlebugs, is the designer of these fabulous and fun barrettes.  You can get your own here!

Happy Saint Patty's Day!!!

Or as Taylor would say "Happy Leprechaun Day"! Here are a few gorgeous, glamorous green goodies that I am absolutely gaga for!!!

Green master suite from the HGTV Dream Home. I love

all the white against the green walls and ceiling - gorgeous!

Marc Jacobs - my favorite designer of hand bags and accessories!!!

I would take any (or all) of the following cutie cutes.

Key Lime Pie - yum!  The best is made with Nellie and Joe's

Key Lime Juice.

This Paul Smith blouse is fabulous!

And finally the green book: The Everday Guide to

Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time

Daily Candy

I love Daily Candy!  It's an amazing on-line publication/guide to fashion, beauty & fitness, things to do, and places to eat. There's an edition for twelve major cities (including London!) as well as an "Everywhere" edition. They even have a kids edition in each of those cities. Fabulous!

I love the artwork by Sujean Rim, too. Very sweet and incredibly eye-pleasing. 

Jason's Band (I'm so proud!)

I'm so proud. They had a professional take pictures - WOW, I love it! Aren't they cute?  You can view their MySpace page here (warning: the content may not be appropriate for really nice people and very young children!!!).

Mush!

I love my big brother.  He's the best - the best in the Midwest ;) ;)  Ugh, that is soooo incredibly dorky! Anywaaaayyyys.  He sent me this link to the Boston Globe - just  a little reminder that even though Spring is rapidly approaching, there are still places in the world where a sled dog race (or two, or three) is taking place. Here are a few more of my faves:

We almost adopted a dog that had eyes like this

Doesn't this one look like Makoto???

Cool pic!

American Idol - Dirty Dianna

My fave tonight:  Alexis Grace's performance of Dirty Dianna.  Woohoo - that rocked!

I admit I watch, but I don't vote. Is that bad? I just like to watch. I don't want to dial.

American Idol - "It's all about song choice."

Why do the majority of the contestants pick such wearisome songs? Perhaps it sounds better live? Seriously. I can't figure it out. Every year, year after year, I ask the same question. I feel like at this stage of the show, the contestants play it really safe and it bores the heckito out of me (heckito, if you're not familiar with the term, is something that Judy Schachner's siamese kitty boy, Skippyjon Jones, has been known to say - check him out, he's muy adorable!).

I know it's going to get better. That's why I keep watching. Once they narrow it down to the final twelve, the stage and the competition will change, and the real show will begin. I can't wait.

BTW, Felicia's performance was my fave (she sang Alicia Key's No One).

Blushing Buttercream Pettiskirt GIVEAWAY!!!!

Can't you just picture Nora in this?? If I don't win, I promise (cross my heart, hope to die), that I will attempt to make it myself for NoraSephora. Seriously. I'm not kidding this time.
