Polyvore-tastic!

I saw this beautiful photo of a pizza on Gourmet Girl -- of course it inspired me!

Simply delicious

I don't think I could pull off those high-wasted shorts, but gosh I wish I could -- seriously, high waists can be soo flattering sometimes. And of course the headband is a bit of fantasy in my head -- I just cannot see me walking around with that. Though i suuuper want to. If I ever do, I'll post a picture :D Especially if I magically make this outfit happen.

Gluten-Free Cupcakes! [Whole Foods]

{Cupcakes Take the Cake, feat. Living Gluten-Free in South Florida}

Okay, Bee, I'm going to guess y'all might be on to this one. But according to CTTC reporting LGFSF, cupcakes are the newest addition to Whole Foods's gluten-free section! So, just in case it hadn't hit your part of the country yet -- ta-da, on its way soon!

Happy Weekend!

Friday Love

{Cliff Mautner}

Seeing photos of young couples getting married always makes me pause for just a second longer than others. Having officially met my husband when I was 17, then marrying at 23, I know I'm being silly, at best, for this pause -- I know no one can really *know* what they're doing, that there aren't any guarantees in life, and when you find love that makes you a better person than you ever imagined you could be, you should just grab onto that! At least, that's how my hubs makes me feel. And... well, I can't help but make a special wish that they've got That Feeling, and they aren't just rushing to ... Hmm, I'm not even sure how to finish that sentence.

But for that special love that sustains marriage over decades -- I hope that these young couples have that seed. (And I say "seed" since love absolutely grows + evolves over time!)

And, of course, feel that teensy extra elation that the young couple has been so blessed to find their special someone so early, hee.

Yums

{LeanCuisine.com}

I couldn't bring myself to actually review my lean cuisines on a regular basis. but holy cow, today's was seriously good. I mean Good. That just seems wrong. The pasta was a bit mushy, but when do you *actually* expect a frozen dinner to be tasty? And make you feel good about yourself for gettin in some veggies? Rock.

This one
Was just okay. Same mushy factor I ran into before, with the chicken; the veggies were pretty darn creamy & made me feel a little guilty. Shouldn't that be a good thing? I dunno, definitely filling.

PS: did anybody actually realize Lean Cuisine has 6 different lines? I mean really, is that necessary? Holy cow, I've got variety ahead of me, whoo!

More vintage treasures...

I just can't help shopping.
