A Li’l Crush
August 18th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
Okay, so I may have a teeny tiny girl crush on Zooey Deschanel. I think it started with a CD Laura sent me in the mail that was Vol. 1 of She & Him.
Then it was her clothes and interviews in InStyle where she talked about just being herself and staying out of headlines because she was the opposite of scandalous.
Then it was her acting in Yes Man and (500) Days of Summer (really liked both).
Have already mentioned naming future dog Zooey to Drew…and he didn’t seem to hate it, which is a good sign. We’ll see! As I think I already mentioned, we’re making ourselves wait until I get a job before we get a canine friend. So, come on, employers in the DC metro area! Soooo overjoyed that I get to spend my birthday applying to jobs like every other day. And yet I plan to make this a most productive day–work accomplished, lots of practice in making a happy home, being patient and generous to others, being an old-fashioned good girl (I may have just finished reading Little Women…). Oh! But returning to the original subject of this post–the lovely Zooey–imagine my delight when I saw the new Kate Spade line with mod-inspired clothes and a model with voluminous chocolate hair piled on top of her head, heavy bangs, and red lipstick???
I think it’s time to get some raspberry and mustard tights, friends. Have a lovely Tuesday!
This girl rocks

Apparently I like Hollywood Regency and Mid Century Modern (and also the color yellow). Did I mention I chose buttercup yellow for my free KitchenAid standmixer? I’m pretty pumped. I can’t wait to get it home and try it out! I have Alton Brown’s advice on yeast mingling around in my brain…homemade pizza here I come 
Oh, and

I am LOVING these plates (uhhh diy project? yes please!). So cute and simple and fun! More and more I’m realizing my favorite designs are very simple, with clean, natural lines, yay finding my style!
Also here’s a fun living room setup (or I guess I should say family room…and by the way, what’s the point in having a formal living room? They seem entirely superfluous to me). But anyway, I really like the way the mirror and photos are hung up on the wall. Simple and gives a nice sense of balance (woah? what’s that movie? GAHHH going to drive me crazy…EDIT: it’s from father of the bride, when brian’s dad is talking about one of their sculptures. and there was a link to get there–i must have been channeling steve martin’s “superfluous” from his hot dog freak out! oh how i love father of the bride…). And finally, Zooey Deschanel. I’ve never heard of the girl before but apparently she’s in The Happening with Mark Wahlberg, which comes out soon I guess. The only thing I know is that she is beautiful and I adore her dress–and I NEVER like tiered skirts! Way to go, Zooey, I look forward to seeing you on Instyle’s Look of the Day in the future! (I also just watched an interview with her on David Letterman last night, and I’m beyond thrilled with how awkward/dry/hilarious she is…she may just be my new best friend). EDIT: ha! Did I call it or what?
