this & that

A much needed catch up session over coffee turned into a little afternoon siesta with cheese and wine. The heart wants what the heart wants, right?

I originally bought these Stella McCartney heels on The Real Real a few months back, with every intention of wearing them out for Christmas parties. They didn't make it out for Christmas though -- so I'm still waiting for the right occasion to debut them. In the meantime, I'm pretty smitten with how they look perched on my antique jewelry box. 

A few cheeky sweaters that I'll be bundling myself up in this week (hello Fashion Week and freezing temps!). I already took the leather sleeve beauty for a test drive last week here.

Our spread for the Super Bowl -- cheese plate and a few new, favorite beers. (I'll admit, I may have picked them out for their labels alone -- but they certainly did not disappoint!)

These gold-dipped mugs were a total impulse buy at Starbucks. I walked in wanting a grande iced skinny vanilla latte and walked out with about four of these in hand, which baffled my boyfriend when I met him outside. Oddly enough, he likes them way more than I thought he would, which gives me hope for our "no gold accents in the new apartment debate."
