Les Parapluies de Cherbourg

Tonight I watched The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. It is so lovely, so beautiful and so heartbreaking. Now I'm off to practice my French at Live Mocha, that is if I can stop crying!

UPPERCASE

Today I was really missing Domino and then, lo and behold, I came home and found this post about the new Uppercase magazine, that looks charming and fabulous ... I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!

I am really into pretty packaging. I think these are fantastic, although my friend Kelly is afraid of birds, so she probably wouldn't agree.

I love this illustration by Caitlin for Aussie lingerie co. Hopeless

... and speaking of hopeless, I went to my ballet class tonight only to find out that it is on Tuesday.

Such pretty corsages from ban.do!

This is so darling. The balloon says "I will swim to you."

ooooh

I am sort of obsessed with this outfit. And by sort of, I mean completely.

I love these photos and I love rainy days, which is good since it has rained just about every day this month with no end in sight! Perhaps today I will buy a new umbrella, but only if I can find a pretty one that makes me feel somewhat glamorous, even if slightly damp.

I might be crazy, but on Wednesday I am starting ballet classes! I am really excited about it, but slightly cringing at the idea of hopping around in front of a wall sized mirror. I am trying to remember as much as possible from my last ballet class, which took place in 1993. But all I can recall is how much I liked my blue chiffon skirt!

How much do I want to stroll through town with one of these in my hand? Totally enamored.

a stitch in time

How darling are these cards? I LOVE sewing on paper, this valentines day i made cards that I sewed with little hearts and paper birds. Of course, being totally lame, I failed to photograph them, but one happens to be on a darling co-dc dweller's shelf and I will have to remember to post it sometime!

My 100th post! I don't have anything special planned for it, but I thought this Tiffany's ad was lovely, and so true. Click on it if it's hard to read!
