I’ve been dying to blog about this for a week now. It was my best friend, Romy’s, birthday last week and I decided to make her a friendship necklace like the ones we used to wear in middle school where each person wears half a heart. Except, those are pretty corny for grown women. So I made her an updated friendship necklace out of our running inside joke about dinosaurs. I ordered her a brontosaurus charm and I got a T-rex charm from CuteAbility’s etsy shop. And since our 10 year High School Reunion is rounding the corner we’ve jokingly been calling each other Romy and Michele and so I ordered her a charm from Tiny Tokens Designs that says Romy and mine says Michele. I didn’t photograph her necklace but here’s an image of mine.

Isn’t it the cutest?

I’ve been sick for the past week and could barely get out of bed. (Being sick in the summer is the worst!) I finally started feeling better on Friday and felt I deserved a present for the tough week I had. (Ok, I deserve a swift kick in the butt for staying in bed all week, but still). I bought myself this cute duster Love ring from Top Shop.

And in case you’re wondering my nail polish is Minted by Revlon. It’s my new favorite color.

Last Sunday I was having a bit of a lazy day where I didn’t want to go anywhere or do anything. I figured if I was going to stay home I should at least clean my apartment and make my space more livable. I cleaned the place from top to bottom and decided I deserved a little reward.  I ordered these awesome Paris skyline pillowcases from Urban Outfitters. If I can’t get to Paris this year at least I can rest my head on these pillows and dream.

After my wrong key fiasco last weekend I vowed to get organized and label my keys. How cute are these penguin and unicorn key covers I found on sale at Urban Outfitters?

Barnes & Noble was having a sale online and I couldn’t help but order a bunch for $3.99 each. I got:

Imperial Bedrooms by Bret Easton Ellis

Armageddon in Retrospect by Kurt Vonnegut

The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson

Waiter Rant by Steve Dublanica

Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
