I'm very sorry to say this to those of you that don't live in Chicago, but Nice Cream is the greatest ice cream of all time. I tried one called Sweet Cinnamon and Spiced Pecan, and it was AWESOME--sweet but not sweet, so it satisfies salt-cravers like me. They only make it in Chicago. Therefore, everyone should come here and have some.

Holy shit, you guys. Remember that puffball thing I liked in the Anthropologie windows? Yeah, yesterday I walked into a different Anthro and clearly they're in some kind of puffball war. This one is a gigantic puffball blob, preparing to eat those dresses. And then the shoppers.
AND, a friend of mine mentioned that she knows a textiles major whose job it is to sit in the back room of Anthro and "interpret" that month's "display theme" into reality, for which she does not get paid. So she sits back there making giant puffballs. Clearly, she's an industrious, if not overzealous gal. Her job sounds like either fun or the seventh circle of hell, depending on the boss and the "display theme."

Now, see that? She's mature in her grace all up in the State of the Union. And a nice reprise of the color yesterday. Now that this and this have happened, I'm back to idolizing at full speed again. (For awhile, I was averting my eyes from Washington, D.C. because things over there were starting to give me an ulcer.)

Micies, I am in serious need of some new jewelry. I haven't bought myself anything nice in years. I satisfied my last craving (long gold necklaces) at H&M and digging in my mother's costume closet. I did find a good one there, but it would be fun to buy something new. And since I'm a statement jewelry person--I choose one thing and wear it over and over again for months--it would be a good investment, right? All of these are too expensive, but I looooove them...

And then I would need some cute earrings to save me from the land of wearing studs all the time...

Wouldn't those blue ones be bitchin with a wedding dress?

Two years today; no easier. I miss my stepdad. All the time.
