playing catch up

July 4th, 2010 at 9:55 am . Posted in me elsewhere, random things .

I have lots to write about. Denver, new friends, Eclipse and apartment hunting! And I will. Soon. I’m still catching up from my week in Denver for the NAHJ Conference.

But for now you should check this stuff out:

  • This awesome gift Jessica Maria’s friends have her and her husband. Seriously, it’s amazing.
  • Molly welcomed a new baby boy into her family and he is adorable.
  • I made a list of some seriously amazing vintage and retro inspired swimsuits. I now want ALL OF THEM.
  • Have you seen the poster for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? I may or may not have fangirled out over it.
  • I can’t stop listening to The Constellations. Go give them a listen if you like good music.
  • This is probably the cutest picture ever in the world.
  • Are you obsessed with Mad Men as much as I am? Particularly the clothing. I broke down Joan Holloway’s style (and found an amazing Etsy shop that makes replicas of her dresses!!) and the fashion of Betty Draper.
  • That brings me to my next point, there needs to be a Mad Men season premier party so I have an excuse to buy something new and dress up. Chicago, let’s make that happen!

    I’m just *now* starting to get into Mad Men. I know, I know. I’m behind the times. But from what I have seen so far? love the clothes. Love the cars they drive. Love the sexy men!

    I LOVE your Joan break-down. It just made me even more excited for Mad Men to start again, eeeeeeeee!

    I want that pen necklace. And her hips. Okay, and her hair and face.
