Another Obsession?

So.
It's not as though I need another internet-related obsession.
I'm sure we've already established this.
See, that's what I thought.
Until I discovered this.
Oh, Pintrest.
Where have you been all my life?

I haven't quite figured it out yet.
Basically, it's just a bunch of awesome people posting the awesome things that they find on the internet. And in life, I guess.
Apparently, it's pretty exclusive because I requested an invite via the website, and promptly received and e-mail saying that the site was "still in private beta."
Whatever the heck that means.
So for now, I am relegated to simply perusing the coolness of others.
Which is okay for the moment.
Until I get sick of it.
Or the website decides to be in "public beta."
Whatever the heck that means.

In any event, here's some neat-o things that I've found today!

Heaven!

Agreed!

Where my peeps at?!

I could probably handle this!

If anyone needs me, I will be here!

Yup!

I love love LOVE this bracelet!*
*And my mother would definitely kill me dead if I bought it.

I could get down with these.

BABY HIPPO!

Admit it.
You're kind of in love now, too.

Floating Away

from here.

I really need to go to stop looking at We Heart It and go to bed.
Or something like that.

A Piece Of The Sky

from here.

I don't even care that Yoko Ono broke The Beatles up.
So beautiful.

I Heart It

Have I mentioned how much I love the website We Heart It?
Probably not.
Especially since this love was very much of the unrequited nature, until very recently.
Well, I do.
I loves it.
I loves it lots and lots.
Every. Single. Image is so inspiring and creative.
Beauty and talent and artistic emotional expression abound.
I have selected some of the most recent images for your delight.
There are new ones added just about every millisecond.
Which is pretty cool, I think.
Behold and enjoy.

I've been in kind a fashion rut lately (that's no secret, let's be honest with ourselves).

One of my challenges for myself this winter season is to find cold weather ensembles that don't involve blue jeans and Uggs. I mean, Uggs are appropriate for...let's say, sledding and tromping through the snow, but I have a feeling that if I wear them out to dinner one more time, a certain gentleman in my life might puke all over them. And jeans...we love jeans! But, it sure wouldn't hurt to

So, this is my answer to the problem. I think.

I mean...romper? What do we think?

Street Art

I've been pretty obsessed with guerrilla-style street art lately.

Not the Cows on Parade kind of installments.
The little, hidden signatures of citizens that make each metropolis unique.
Kind of like a treasure hunt.

I encountered a lot of beautiful, inspiring installations when I lived and traveled in Europe.
For some reason, I was more focused on taking pictures of cathedrals and monuments.
Silly me.
I could kick myself.
Thankfully, other people weren't as oblivious.
