Music Monday: She and Him

Baby It's Cold Outside by She and Him


I'm busy making a gingerbread house for work. Which of course has me in the Christmas spirit. Thus the beauty of She and Him. Zooey and M are two of my very faves.  The fact that they have another swoon-worthy album that happens to be festive makes me a happy happy girl.

I'm a sucker for this song, like every other girl in America.  Did you notice they switched parts?  Genius! 

PS. My brother-in-law is going to die if he sees I posted this before Christmas!

LA via my Iphone









Highlights here. The real pictures to come very soon!

Happy Birthday to Me

My gift to myself.  Isn't she pretty?

I'm headed to LA today!

I feel like I'm cheating on New York.

That song. That city. Perfection.

Thanks Hayley for sharing.

Channelling Kate Spade



Because it's finally cold enough in Phoenix. And I was inspired by this colorful video!



State Fair









Phoenicians, Ferris Wheels and Fried Food.  It's a good time.

Yes, that's a fried cheesecake in the last photo.  Yes, it was party in my mouth!

The Joys of a Brititsh Roomie




SCONES with jam and clotted cream. Delish!

Music Monday: Kimbra

Cameo Lover by Kimbra


I don't know why, but I LOVE her.  I'm guessing it's the crazy dress, the pink lipstick or maybe the overuse of confetti - always a good idea. The song is pretty great too.  The chorus has a throw-back sound that makes you want to dance in your bedroom with your besties, Grease style.

You may be surprised to know this isn't her first appearance on my blog.  Yep, this is her!  Which makes me love her all the more!

Coyotes




We won in overtime. And it gave me an excuse to don my new pashmina. (You have to look for such excuses in AZ!)

Pumpkin Doughnuts





Tis the season for all things wonderfully Pumpkin!

Recipe found here.

Didn't have all the ingredients for the frosting so I improvised and did powder sugared and white chocolate drizzled.  I think it worked out well!

1AM Taco Truck....Twice








It was THAT good. And we brought friends.
