Now & Then: Pajamas

i've been watching a lot of New Girl lately, and it seems like Jess is in her PJs in every other scene! they are so cute- button up with a cute print and colorful piping- just like the classic pjs from the 50s. ok, so they look a little frumpy, but super comfy! here's my now & then: pajamas!

have you thought about buying some new pjs lately?

magazine monday: marie claire may 2012

i never believed that the cover of a magazine could really sell me on it, but while searching in the airport newsstand for some plane reading material, i couldn't help but see zooey staring right back at me on the cover of marie claire! immediate purchase. no thought required. well here it is- my favorites from the newest marie claire for magazine monday!

what are some things you have bought on impulse?

zooey's iphone 4S commercial

i was so happy to see zooey's new iphone 4S commercial the other night! it makes me smile and this is exactly how i feel on a rainy day!

have a great weekend!

Now & Then: Bikes

i know you've seen this movie.

riding bikes with my radio cranked and strapped to the handlebars was one of my favorite things to do when i was a kid.

anyways! i would like to introduce a new segment called "Now & Then" featuring fun things from the past that translate to the present!

because it's winter... and i'm getting cabin fever, i'd like to share bikes from Now & Then!

then...
