{friday finds: dolores petunia}
I have a new favorite Etsy shop: Dolores Petunia. It’s filled with hairpieces with blushers and big statement necklaces; basically the two accessories I’m always desperate to find. Below, a few of my favorites. Click on the image to visit the item in shop. Enjoy!

{freckles}
I always thought freckles were cool as a kid. Little did I know that I’d have a good sprinkling of them on my cheeks and nose appearing in my 20’s. At first I freaked out, thinking “Oh no! Sun-damage! Pre-mature aging!” I’m an olive skin brunette, so why else would I have freckles? One day, I had one of those skin evaluations. To my relief, my skin was declared perfect and with no signs of sun-damage. So, the sprinkles are indeed just freckles. I’ve come to adore them as a quirk. Before this blog moved to this address, it was listed as violetsnfreckles. It seems that violets {my perfume} and freckles are two of the things most frequently associated with the memory of me. I don’t mind it one bit.
What are your quirks? Your perfect little imperfections?

{everyday beautiful life: woolgathering & miscellany}
Grace of Woolgathering & Miscellany and her awesome chihuahua, seen above, are our guest today. Well, actually, just Grace, but I like to imagine that the adorable little pup was sitting next to her while she put together her list.
1. Drink ordinary liquids from wine/champagne/martini glasses. Don’t just let your fancy stemware gather dust, they can make even the most mundane beverages taste like a party in your mouth. I like to do this with EmergenC & OJ.
2. Make the bed every morning. I’m still trying to condition myself to do this. It only takes a minute, and it’s so nice to climb into a neat bed when you’re dog tired at the end of the day.
3. Write a letter. There’s nothing like showing someone that you’re thinking of them with some old fashioned correspondence. A little ray of sunshine beaming out from under a pile of bills and advertisements will surely brighten anyone’s day.
4. Stop to count your gratitudes on a regular basis. It is such a great way to put things into perspective & remind you of the things that really matter.
5. Leave a lasting impression. Hug your loved ones as if it’s the last time you’ll ever see them again.

{my triumphant return…}
I’m baaack! Well, sort of. I flew in last night and have yet to prepare any posts, so stick with me kids. In the meantime…
Some ridiculous cuteness for you.

Have an incredibly lovely and glamorous labor day weekend! I’m in NYC until Tuesday night, so I can’t promise any posts for Monday or Tuesday. Feel free to browse the archives.
