Easter is right around the corner {it’s early this year – April 4}. One of my favorite colors that pops up during this time of year happens to be robin’s egg blue. In fact, my nails were just of a similar shade. Pretty, pretty hue…

Just saw this new video by She & Him for “In the Sun” off their upcoming album, Volume Two {can’t wait!}. M. Ward is great. Zooey Deschanel is incredibly adorable. I’ve never seen “High School Musical” before, but I guess that’s what it’s styled after. Whatever it is, it works for me…

Ready to go? Me, too! This is Balbegno Castle in Scotland. It is a 1560′s castle that Charlie and Caroline Gladstone of Pedlars have redecorated and refurbished over the course of two years. It is situated in the center of thousands of acres of undisturbed wilderness. There is a large private garden, a croquet lawn, and so much more. Look at that shot above taken at dusk via Team Pedlars. Oh, and the colorful cabinet? Must. Have.

Well, today is, um. Alright, it’s my birthday today. I never really tell people when my birthday is unless they come out and ask me. Okay, so I accidentally blurted it out to someone I was talking with yesterday. I figured he wouldn’t remember anything I had said, so no harm done. I’m sharing with you because we’re friends and I’m trying really hard to embrace the day. I never make a big deal about it and I guess that may happen as you get older, right? Today I turn *cough, cough* years old and the best part is that no one ever can guess my real age. Yup, the good news is that I look younger than I am. But, oh, if only I were still cute…
Me at Sea Life Park. You know you love the Dove Shorts.
Anyway, big mahalos to you all for being supportive of me. Thank you for always leaving me nice comments and sending me sweet emails. You are the best gift in this crazy online world that I could ask for.
It turned out to be another cold and rainy day here in the city. It was dark and dreary. Hell, I kind of liked it. Nothing wrong with that, right? Well, I certainly wouldn’t mind having these art pieces that have been turned in to wall stickers by the fabulous {and for sure a fave of mine} Blanca Gómez. If only the actual rain were as pretty and colorful…

This has nothing to do with the rain, but is too wonderful not to post. I mean, don’t you ever feel like you’d like to just float away? Perhaps with the help of a giant red balloon…
