monica is…hunting vintage.

today i went on a hunt for smaller bags. after lugging my heavy leather bag in 80 degree heat, i decided to give in. i had a yummy breakfast plate (sorry no photo since i was starving!) at mustard seed cafe & headed to squaresville, where luckily i found 2 great & affordable bags! perfect for my absolute necessities, especially my new favorite wallet!  finally picked up mishna wolff’s i’m down, which i can only expect will get better, since the first page already had me laughing…


i picked up a new read, which i hear is a riot!

red, rouge, rojo…

so i’m on a red kick right now. quite frankly, i’m a little shocked, since it’s not my favorite color. although, these pieces are definitely turning me into a convert…

monica is…a savage! rarr!

after browsing sam edelman’s website, i have savagely fallen in love with these animal prints. paired with a cute sundress or sassy short shorts, who could resist these “creatures”?

speaking of animals, check out this little toy chest that was left behind. one of my mom’s apartment tenants left this sweet little treasure behind, which of course i gave a new home…

monica is…in a summer daze.

i cannot express how happy it is that summer is officially here! i made a few job changes, so i will have a semi-normal schedule & be off on holidays! it means more time veggin’, shopping, & of course eating! a few days ago, i went to visit one of my favorite haunts,  new stone age for fun gifts & silly miscellaneous items like my dog stapler! i love spending what seems like hours in there exploring & browsing the vast selection of artisan jewelry. as always some shots of some recent food travels, fresh flowers, & an enchanted trip to anthropologie. that clock dress is beyond adorable!
