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!

i heart chuck…

i have sort of developed a crush on chuck hughes. the new cooking channel previewed chuck’s day off not too long ago & i can’t stop watching his show! it’s incredibly entertaining. i can’t believe we’ve been deprived of him in the us…such a charmer…sigh*
