fantasy monday

For this week's installment of Fantasy Monday, I am changing it up a little bit. This week I am going to wish for something that money can't buy (at least I don't think).



I would love love to meet Keri Russell. I mean, come on, how cute is she? Plus she is a mom with a cause (what? You haven't seen/heard her commercials about infant whopping cough?), she always looks so very put together at awards shows, she has the most amazing hair and wardrobe, and she and her son are just too too adorable. Plus plus she lives in Brooklyn. So she really has that going for her too. I have lurved all of her most recent movies-Waitress and August Rush are definite favorites. I think I am going to rent all the old Felicity DVD's to refresh my original love for her. I loved that show. Didn't you?

I think we could totally be bff's.

fantasy wednesday

OK, OK, I know I have been extremely remiss in actually posting Fantasy Monday posts on Monday. But this week has been busy (what week isn't?) what with the deadlines and the meetings and the emergency evacuation of my building yesterday afternoon, so I am posting on Wednesday instead.

So without further ado, I present what I have been dreaming about for some time now.

A little European-style old school bicycle. My boyfriend would die (or at least be mildly shocked) if I actually rode one of these. But maybe I should learn? Maybe he can teach me. Does anybody know where I can find a vintage one for a decent price? The basket is a must-have. I already have the hat.

fantasy monday

Hello lovelies! I hope you have emerged from the weekend refreshed and rejuvenated. The bf and I ended up skipping Oktoberfest in favor of an Amos Lee concert at the Granada Theater on Greenville. It was an amahzing show darlings! I truly truly heart Amos.

I have been having a serious case of wanderlust lately. Some friends of ours just jetted off to tour around Europe for awhile and how I wish I could have tagged along. My favorite kind of trip in the fall is a good oldfashioned road trip (with the bf driving of course!) I love the fresh air and the pretty colors you inevitably see along the way. (For the record, if you have never done a roadtrip in Arkansas in the fall, I highly recommend it. The changing of the leaves are just to die for.) So with that in mind, I present my fantasy Monday treasure:

A vintage 1957 VW Cabriolet. Can't you just picture a scenic drive with the wind whipping in your hair? Ahhhh. I don't know how much this beauty would cost, but I think cherry red roadtrip perfection=priceless.

Here's to the start of another work week!

fantasy thursday

So I know I said this post would come every Monday before noon, but it has been a crazy hectic week on all fronts so here it is on Thursday instead. (Besides, when you only have two readers, I don't think you have to be too picky about posting on time.) Anyway, here in all its sexy glory is the YSL Tribute Pump:



Molto bene! How beautiful! I have been devouring the Fashion Week posts on other blogs and I was super duper impressed with the YSL collection. And, as usual, the shoes were just to-die. I know the Tribute is a classic, but it is just so dang good and it is my fantasy. And fantasy it will stay because unfortunately $660 worth of perfect patent leather is just not in the cards for me. Sigh.

fantasy football monday

It is almost Fall, and the big buzz around my office (aside from all the baby news-seriously there has GOT to be something in the water) is football, football, football. I was invited multiple times to participate, however, since I do not have the attention span to watch an entire game, and I definitely do not have the mental memory capacity to remember millions of stats, I sat out this year. I know, I know, lame. So, to remedy my laziness I thought I would institute Fantasy Monday. Each Monday I will post a fantasy vacation destination, wardrobe lovely, home, etc by noon (office rules, not mine) for the entire football season.

Since I am behind a week, here are Fantasy Football Mondays #1 and #2.

#1. The Fontaine Dress from JCrew. Only $650. A mere drop in the bucket for such lovely, lovely ruffles.

#2. A stay at the Agriturismo Il Vecchil Maneggio Bed and Breakfast, an ancient farmhouse in the rural hills of San Gimignano, Italy. The website says that it is nestled among vineyards, olive groves and orchards. How dreamy. Now wasn't that fun?!
