Kick back, relax with me

What's Lovely for Friday, September 10, 2010:  Watching Scott Pilgrim for the second time is just as sweetly awesome, but not as awesomely sweet as receiving a certain surprise package that's really not your average ordinary

What's Lovely for Saturday, September 11, 2010:  Taking a quiet moment to remember where you were when it happened  (I still cannot believe that was nine years ago. Seeing the picture still makes me want to clutch my chest and cry.)

What's Lovely for Sunday, September 12, 2010:  Gorging on not one.... two..... but about four homemade brownies, courtesy of my boss. (Fun fact, I'm a glutton for brownies. I want a brownie cake for my birthday. Or a brownie pie, if that's possible.)

Passed on Forward!

What's Lovely for June 18, 2010: Thank you Brandi, for paying it forward!

Take a look at this and this to jog your memory. Not only is it wonderful to get stuff in the mail, but a lovely gift full of good will after a long, hard day at work? Effin' priceless. Which reminds me: I need to get a start on mine. :)

PS: Thanks to all those who shared their favorite summer songs! Hey, but why stop? Keep 'em coming: anyone who hasn't already told me, what's your summer song?

Pay it Forward to Casual Fridays

Look! for lack of a better, more clever caption, let's point out how I found a new place to haunt for the sake of photos.

I feel like the only thing missing from this outfit was a cup of coffee and a hip, glossy magazine like Nylon, or something.

Compared to yesterday, I was in a neutral mood... literally. I usually opt for some color in what I wear, but I let the winter flurries get to me decided to keep a casual, simple silhouette (throwing in some patterns) with a dash of red lips to keep it interesting. (I guess I was subconsciously reminded of this look)

I'm actually ninja-layering three shirts underneath the first one... but who's counting?

What's Lovely for February 5, 2010: Pay It Forward.

I heard of this simple yet perfect little project from Brandi of Not Your Average Ordinary (it's a great blog that I only found recently-- it has a whole mix of things to share, and has one of the most delightfully colorful layouts I've ever seen). It's not only perfect because it's such a fun activity, it takes the best thing about the movie while leaving out the fact that you're left sobbing at the "wtf" ending and going oh whyyyy the injustice whyyy... ahem. I digress. There are but four rules to follow.

1. I make a handmade gift for the first 3 people to comment.
2. I have 365 days in which to send you the gift.
3. The gift will be a total surprise.
4. You keep this going by posting Pay It Forward on your blog.

Simple, right? It's like a big online chain letter of hand-crafted love, a great way to get to know your fellow bloggers! Cue the cheese, I'm gonna give you all a hug.

If you're one of the first 3 commenters who want to participate, leave your email address please! :)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go listen to Zooey Deschanel for the fifth time. Dear sweet baby Lord Jesus, I sound so indie.
