Seaside here we come...

We're heading to Florida tomorrow for a week of much needed vacation! (Hopefully Gustav behaves and stays far away from Seaside!) Have a wonderful Week :)

Wexner Drive-In Movie....

The Wexner Center Drive-In heads to a new location for this special one-off screening on the Ohio Statehouse grounds.

Bring your chairs or blankets to the Statehouse West Plaza (on the High Street side of the building). Catering by Design, will be providing a cash bar and fresh grilled items for purchase. Just like at the Wexner Center, the actual screening will begin at dusk.

Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, and Ronald Coleman team up in The Talk of The Town, a surprising romantic comedy about justice. Stevens crafts a satisfying and suspenseful film by blending the playfulness of 1930s’ screwball comedies into the socially conscious debates of 1940s’ dramas. Coleman, as a law professor in line for the Supreme Court, and Grant, as an accused arsonist, spar politically and romantically, as both fall for Arthur’s small-town teacher. (118 mins., 35mm)

Cross your fingers that the rain stops because if not this screening will be canceled!!

I heart blueberry ale..

I had my first Blueberry Ale last night and fell in love! The blueberry flavor is strong and it is pretty sweet, but it would be the perfect match for a hot summer night or any bbq. I want more immediately.

Crazy about Fringe...

Ribbons + Bows...

I love these bow rings ... it's like wearing a present on your finger :)

Tonight = The Hills Season 4 Premiere!

Despite the fact that last season of The Hills was TERRIBLE, I will absolutely still be watching this season.

My heart hurts...

Erica is heading west today to start her new amazing job in La Jolla, California, and while I know I'm not losing her (we will forever be friends) I can't help but be sad. Her and Conroy have become family to me and Pete and I am so going to miss our dinners, bike rides, gossip sessions + nights at park st.

I love you + can't wait to visit!

Grey is the new black...

I desperately want a grey handbag for fall.

Music in the morning.

Here is a song from the Seattle based band Fleet Foxes, enjoy!

Weekend in review:

Friday: Dinner @ Haiku with the Six Pack, drinks at Spice Bar, then more drinks + dancing at Park St. Tavern

Saturday: Hungover, Vespa ride + lunch at Press Grill, Book store = hot chocolate + hours of magazine reading, dinner @ Marcella's then home to bed.

Sunday: Breakfast with Mom + Jonah, Zoombezi Bay for an afternoon of water rides, lazy rivers, funnel cake + beer, cookout at my parents house, then home to watch Mad Men.


The weather was perfect and a wonderful weekend was had by all, but I'm already getting sad thinking about Erica moving next week :(

Duck Shoes.

I'm not a huge fan of Tory Burch shoes anymore, but I adore these! Pre-Order yours here.

illumination 8.8.08

When night falls tonight, be one of the first to see Franklin Park Conservatory in an entirely new light. Plan to watch firsthand as renowned award-winning lighting artist James Turrell illuminates the Conservatory’s historic glass Palm House in an inspiring display of light and space.


I can't decide if this is going to make the Conservatory look tacky or cool, but either way I want to go and see the illumination take place tonight! Click here to read more.

I don't want to work...

Happy Friday ... I hope you all have a lovely weekend :)

Domestic construction

Vintage ceramic or porcelain teacups, acquired from flea markets and thrift stores all over the country, dangle delicately on the end of an 11 foot chord with an attached plug…ready to illuminate any space. Single teacup light too minimalist for your tastes? Don’t worry…domestic construction offers their ted lights in cluster and chandelier form. Ranging from 3-13 exquisite teacups, these bundles of beauty are hardwired and fully prepped for immediate installation in the ceiling. This gives the phrase “tea time” a whole new meaning.

These lamps are lovely, affordable and would jazz up any room!

i NEED this jacket.

I am in love with this Mike & Chris jacket. I love the color, the cute buttons around the collar and the hood. I don't however love the price :(

Mouse Ballerina

These shoes are totally silly and are way to expensive, but I still think they are adorable! Available here.

My new obsession..

...Mad Men! If you don't watch this show then you must start immediately. It's the best show on t.v. since The Wire or Sex and the City. I promise you'll love it :)

Weekend in review:

Friday Night: Dinner @ La Fogata with the gang = Good food, great conversation and 1 too many pitchers of margaritas ...

Saturday: Breakfast at the North Market, Scooter Ride, Lunch at Tasi, Columbus Museum of Art = Paul Shambroom: Picturing Power + Material Matters: Quiltmaking in the 21st Century, nap, then beer pong + appetizers at our house before heading to the Park St. Tavern.

Sunday: Park with Lucy, lunch at Cosi, then an afternoon of fun at my parents pool with Maggie, Pete, Erica, Conroy, Matt + Danielle = Strawberry Daiquiri's, gossip magazines, and Figlio pizza for dinner.

It was a lovely weekend, and it finally feels like summer...

Our new toy...

Pete and I got a Vespa! It's adorable and so much fun to ride ... unfortunately I have to take a test to get my motorcycle license before I can drive it :(
