Favorites + Pink Peonies


Album. Vampire Weekend's Contra. It has not left my car stereo is a week. I keep hitting repeat on "Run". I'm anxiously awaiting their new album to release on May 14.

Flower. Pink peonies. I have not found them anywhere in the Phoenix area, but I go to Los Angeles enough, and there is a whole flower district there. If you are in LA and want to pick up some pretty flowers, I highly suggest Larchmont Village Florist.

Color. Wedgwood blue. It's a soft blue, and I thought it was interesting that years ago blue was considered feminine.

Book. I ordered The Great Gatsby off of Amazon, and it was delivered today! I need to get started on it if I want to read it before the movie comes out on May 10. It's a classic, so I'm sure it will be an instant favorite.

Drink. I was on a crazy tea kick, but lately with countless papers and finals rapidly approaching, my iced venti vanilla soy latte from Starbucks is getting me through everything.

Game. It's a tie between playing pinocle over a cup of coffee, and croquet while enjoying these last few moments of bearable weather in Phoenix.

Moment. Every night Jason and I take a bicycle ride around the park near our place. The air is still cool at night, so we are soaking up every minute of it.

Food. Last night, for Jason's birthday, we had dinner with his family at King's Fish House. I had hazelnut crusted salmon, and it was the most delicious thing I have ever eaten.

Show. I'm completely addicted to Gossip Girl. I dream of living on the Upper East Side, with a wardrobe to rival Blair Waldorf.

I noticed that my favorites have changed. I thought it would interesting to note them now, and look back on them in a month to see any differences.

♥ What are your current favorites?

  3. Pretty flowers! It's funny how things switch because I used to drink coffee all the time, but I recently got Starbuck's Tazo Passionfruit tea box and I love it! It's so tasty! I read The Great Gatsby recently because now I'm doing a research paper on it. I liked the book, but there's so much hype around it that I thought it was going to be better. I'm soooo excited to see the movie though!!
