Random Topic Tuesday + Etsy Love

I've wanted this for so long! One of these days I'm just going to order it. A heart, an arrow, and the mention of coffee? This was made for me.

Opal is such a beautiful stone. I collect one thing, and that is crystals and other stones. To wear these gorgeous earrings would be an honor.

I've been seeing these bubble necklaces around, and this turquoise one is my favorite by far. This is just another item on my wish list.

How badass are these flats? I'm really into studded shoes, and these are the most affordable ones from UO. They come in a lot of cool colors.

I saw this photo on Pinterest. Not only do I love collars, but I just find it innocent and reminds me of the 1960's.

♥ Right now I'm just watching Edward Scissorhands, and playing around with zombie makeup. Do you have any special plans for tomorrow night?

Senses Saturday + Cloud Atlas

Sight. We saw the movie Cloud Atlas last night. It was a pretty long 3 hours, and it was fairly interesting, but I was expecting more. I've been more excited about our Walking Dead marathon that I'm currently taking a break from.

Scent. Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque smells so refreshing, and it makes me skin silk smooth. I can't get enough of it.

Sound. Mumford & Sons "I Will Wait". I really want their new album, Babel.

Taste. Trader Joe's Organic Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper soup. It is the most delicious soup I have ever had in my whole life. We have been having a lot lately. It's our go-to meal.

Touch. I've been using Jojoba oil on my hair and it makes it really soft.

Letters + Spray Paint

I've seen the EAT letters around lately, and I noticed that a lot of people used the Anthropologie letters. I absolutely love them, but I found a much cheaper way to go about it. I purchase all the items at Home Goods, which is the coolest store ever might I add. I thought it looked nice against the chalkboard paint in our kitchen.

Terrarium + The Best News Ever

My brother Michael came to visit from LA. I think it was two weekends ago. Oh how time flies.

We bought the terrarium we've been wanting from UO.

There were little holes where the triangles met. Jason had the brilliant idea to caulk it before we put all our pretty succulents in.

Yay dirt!

I love these little guys! The one in the back is called Gollum fingers. Yeah, we couldn't pass that up.

These were the Hell's Angels. We saw them in North Scottsdale, which was the most bizzarre thing ever.

Fall in Flagstaff = gorgeous. 

I ♥ Joker

Being goofy.

Coffee & a love note.

Sometimes I cheat at Scrabble.

Jason used to call the stem of an apple a "plume" when he was little. I think that is the cutest thing.

Sunday's breakfast was the bomb. Thank you Trader Joe's.

I left the best for last: I'm going to be an aunt! AH! My sister Michelle is having a baby, and they will be here on May 22, 2013! I couldn't be happier for her and her main squeeze. Congrats sis! This baby is going to be ridiculously loved :D

♥ What's new with you?

Currently + Wellies

{Loving} I love that it's pumpkin season! This weekend we are going to carve a pumpkin, and I couldn't be more excited about it.

{Reading} The only thing I have time to read now is a blog here and there. Those are two new additions to my blogroll.

{Watching} I mentioned my new found love for Elementary, but there are a few shows that I'm dying to watch. I want to check out Breaking Bad, and Doctor Who. I'd love to hear any opinions on either of these.

{Thinking about} The blank canvas I have waiting for me. I'm swamped with homework and exams, but Friday morning is dedicated to paint.

{Anticipating} By the end of the week it's supposed to get all the way down to 75° F!

{Listening to} Death Cab for Cutie Transatlanticism.

{Wishing} I'm really jonesing for a pair of Hunter boots. I've always wanted a pair, and by golly I'm going to get my dream wellies.

{Making me happy} Every morning waking up next to my best friend. *cheesy*

Thank you to Danielle at Sometimes Sweet for the idea for this post. What are you currently into? ♥

Senses Saturday + Elementary, My Dear Watson

{Sight} The new show on CBS, Elementary. I love Sherlock Holmes, and I think this is a great interpretation of it. It takes place in New York and Lucy Liu as Watson is an interesting twist.

{Scent} Pacifica Hawaiian Ruby Guava perfume spray from Whole Foods. I've been addicted to their lotion for a while, so I thought I would give the perfume a try. It smells absolutely amazing!

{Sound} I actually heard this song on the second episode of Elementary. "Bloodline" by James Mathé. I need to find a download for it.

{Taste} Honest Tea's Unsweetened Just Green Tea. If I feel like it needs a little something sweet I put a little bit of Truvia in it.

{Touch} We picked out the first pumpkin of the season! It's a tiny little thing, but it was only 78¢ at Wal-Mart and I couldn't pass it up.
