C’est La Vie

I feel silly saying this, but I’m blogging from a new location: A Rose-Colored Lens Nothing is ever set in stone when it comes to blogs and me, and I feel a little strange and sad distancing myself...

The End Of An Era

Design and Travel

Last night I went to a Barnes & Noble for the first time in ages and had the opportunity to browse through several design books I’d read about online. I do a lot of online shopping, but it really...

Fireworks on the Beach

Congratulations, Kate!

Growing up, I was somewhat obsessed with Kate Moss. As an awkward, scrawny, pale, freckled, brown-haired kid, I liked having that someone who was those things, and still cool. And as a moody...

Jubilation

I went to see the Cirque du Soleil show Alegria last night. This is a little taste: It was so amazing that I have a renewed appreciation for what the human body can do. It kind of makes me want to...

Here’s to Introverts

I got this list from my friend Kristen (it’s originally from here) and I had to re-post. I first read about what it really means to be an introvert last year after filling out a long questionnaire...

Rise and Shine

I am still “in transition” and will be for a long time to come. Life is crazy right now. Watching the sun rise is a good way to feel peaceful for a few minutes. I have a job interview with an...

In the Yard

Overthinking Home Decorating

On the plane during recent flights, I alternated between reading “The Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify Your Life,” by Francine Jay, and imagining...

Back…with Skills

I return from Louisiana with new-found expertise (ha) in baking/ cooking/ cake decorating, sewing (an apron!), couponing, and more. Aside from staying busy doing all those things, my friend and I...

So Long, Florida

…for a few days. I’m at the airport. Love free wireless!

June Bug!

First of all, thank you to WordPress for featuring my previous post, “Dunder Mifflin, this is Toni” on Freshly Pressed. That was the second time WordPress has featured my blog; the first time was...

Dunder Mifflin, this is Toni

I spent less than 24 hours in a certain city where a certain favorite TV show of mine is set. Luckily it was a beautiful day.

And…Action

Just a quick update to say that since my last post in the last 3 days, I have, among other things: gone to an out-of-state job interview (where I was grilled by about 15-20 people over the course...

No Limits

Heh, couldn’t help but love this after a friend posted it on Facebook. Now that I’ve made a big ole to-do list, it’s funny to see which tasks actually get accomplished so that I can avoid others....

A Better Me

I found out about the 8 Weeks to a Better Me project through Cara-Mia, but given my poor track record with blog challenges, I mentally wrestled with it a bit. Blame laziness, flightiness, life...

Bounty

Products I (Currently) Love

Cosmetics by la-vie-toni on Polyvore.com Click for larger image with product information. I’ve been wanting to do a post on beauty and cosmetic products I like for a while now (check out this...

Summer Lovin’

Today I shipped three clothing returns (F21, Express, Zappos) and a cellphone rebate form. I’d been meaning to do that forever but just didn’t get around to it while school was still in session....

Oh, hi.

Confessions: -I still have to finish a paper for a class. -The royal wedding had me trying to copy Kate Middleton’s makeup and hair this morning. Not exactly her wedding hair, but her usual hair....

So Close, Yet So Far

Home

I’m doing a take-home test tonight, but my mind is swirling. I still have a nearly impossible amount of writing to do by Thursday and I graduate Friday (assuming I get said work complete?). I wish...

Eye Candy

Since I’m not out doing things worthy of taking pictures right now (give me a week and I will be), here’s some other eye candy. These are images of peaceful bedrooms I’ve saved. I can’t remember...

LOL, Oh Grad School

It’s after 10 pm, and as I begin a huge assignment that’s due tomorrow, I have just come across a paper that I wrote for a class in the first two weeks of the grad program I am suddenly two weeks...

Etsy Lust

Six items I’m loving on Etsy right now that are reasonably priced and in my size range. And seriously tempting me. Nobody buy these things. Wait, why am I showing them to anyone again? Oh right,...

Spring Art

I got a roll of film developed today, a roll rather lazily shot around the neighborhood. Recently I discovered some really beautiful and interesting spots near my house I’d never seen before so I...

Classics

As long as my relatives keep posting old family photos on Facebook, I will keep saving them and posting them here. Two more of my grandmother: My mom and uncles: My great-uncle (and two others) in...

Color Hungry

So much color this morning! I could spend hours looking at images from Elle Decor India: These next images and links are from various blogs: Both via Once Upon a Tea Time, here and here. (I just...

Gotta Get Down On Friday

From left to right: My grandmother, unknown, my great-grandmother, my great-aunt. Another family photo I found through a relative’s Facebook. I love this picture. Right now I’m getting ready to...
