Warning: Winter Weather Coming

I am going through withdrawals: sunshine, green things, warm skin, feeling in my toes. I thought this disgusting thing called winter in January was over. It was 70 degrees this weekend (which we took full advantage of). But then the weather man tells me this morning that more winter weather is heading our way. And that tomorrow, and especially Wednesday, the temperature will have a hard time getting above freezing. Great.

I am going to have to work overtime this week imagining my own little world where it is 86 degrees and so sunny it almost hurts to open your eyes. And there will be plenty of black-out sunglasses, floppy straw hats, soft green grass, and popsicles that stain your lips red.

I think owning this swimsuit will make this imaginary world seem more real. At least that's how I justify this purchase. And then I can put it on, lay in bed under a mountain of blankets, and imagine my glamorious self right in the middle of the dog days of summer.

Happy Anthropologie Day!

Anthropologie is officially open in LR! Kat and I had plans to hit it up this evening but never actually made it over to the west side. We are going tomorrow afternoon though. And having a mini shopping spree.

Here are some of my very favorite things from Anthropologie this season:

Cardigans by Anthropologie
Pumps by Anthropologie

Now if we could just get a J.Crew (and Madewell) I'd be in heaven.

Homemade Oreos

After 30 Rock tonight (glorious, btw) we made homemade Oreos using this recipe. Now, normally I'm not a fan of Oreos because the cookie part always seems so bitter. But these are actually really good. Andrew thinks they're better than the real deal (and healthier too) and he is a Oreo aficionado so that's really saying something.

P.S. Anthropologie is opening tomorrow at the Promenade! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am. I've only been looking forward to this day since I saw the "coming soon" sign this past summer. You can bet your bottom dollar I will be there.
