this & that

My friend Heather knows my funky taste in home decor all too well-- case in point? She gave me this silver spider accent piece for my birthday and knew I would be thrilled to have a new coffee table prospect. I've enjoyed sneaking him around the apartment for the man friend to find but his main home, thus far has been near this gorgeous Tiffany's box (the content of which will be revealed later this week!).

A go-to snack I've been craving more and more lately: strawberries and blueberries. Makes me feel like spring is right around the corner! 

Christening the new apartment with (what else) but white hydrangeas and a recently acquired piece of coral.   

While running out the other morning for coffee, I passed the Alice + Olivia store on the way, with this cheeky lipstick print dress catching my eye. Call it fate, impulse or just plain lack of caffeine in my system and hence weaker self control, I nabbed it and took it home. Given that I'm on a ladylike dressing kick lately (as seen here and here) I think this flirty black and white number will be a fun addition to the date night rotation. 

Speaking of black and white, I happened to spot myself in print in (wait for it...) Bill Cunningham's "On the Street" Sunday feature for the New York Times (!!!). (I'm in the middle of this grid with this outfit on.) After a few kind tweets from friends letting me know they spotted me, I jumped out of bed in a frenzy to find the nearest news stand. As a coworker mentioned yesterday, I can die a happy woman now.
