obsessed: some pretty little things!

(a few fav things lately that have me using lots of exclamation points...!!)

1. peony tea towel - so, i have suuuch a thing for tea towels that i kind of never expected to have! this one is a top fav. actually, pretty much every towel in this whole line is gorgeous and i want them all.
2. peony soy candle - !!! from the saaaame line of beautiful tea towels! i have this on my desk and haven't even had to light the wick because i can smell it every time i sit down! thaaat's the best because then they never run out. and... it's the prettiest.
3. grapefruit body scrub - i literally want to eat this body scrub when i use it. it smells delicious and the shea butter in it really makes you all smooth feeling!! plus, gosh, j.r. watkins always has the best packaging. i have such a weakness!
4. pretty havaianas - i fell in love with havaianas TEN years ago... at a random boutique in malibu. gosh, time fliiiies! anyway, i was all "they look like regular flip flops... but they're sooo comfy!?!" and i wore them like crazy for oh so long. but then after a while, i was like... "well, i can't just wear these everywhere because as comfy as they may be... they just look like regular flip flops." and then they started making prettier and prettier ones... and now... THESE! angels are singing. i wear these everywhere and they won't be coming off my feet until winter. that's fo sho. ahh, i just love summer!
5. essie muchi, muchi - fiiiiiinallyyyy the perfect pale pink that actually doesn't go on sheer!! as much as i love ballet slippers, this one is a bit pinkier and doesn't take as many coats... and all my essie nail polish dreams have come to fruition! glory, glory.
6. instax photo album - i. could. not. be. more. ob. sessed. first of all, i love my instax camera so so much. there's really just something about taking a photo... one photo... and then whatever comes out (instantly!) is the moment you have captured! there it is. no deleting. no "i'll just have to correct that in photoshop." it's just what you have, perfect or not. it brings back all the simple and sentimental vibes that used to just be the nature of cameras and photos, and i love that we haven't totally lost that! so, when i flip through all my little instax pics in my cute little album, i am like... theeee happiest girl ever. and this album... it's adorable. also, hilariously cheap and asian-made. it literally says on the front, "pieces of moment," and has a serial number on it. but it's stamped in gold, so it's still pretty! i mean, really, it all just kiiind of completes me.
xoxoxo!
