These are a few of my favorite things...



Five things I am diggin' on right now:

1)This wrap on sale at Nordstrom. My friend Mary was wearing one last week. It was super soft and sweatshirt-like and fleecy on the inside, and just plain awesome. I am ordering one as soon as I figure out what color I want...and at $39? Yes!

2)These hand blown wine tumblers from Napastyle. Love the funky mismatched set of 6...we now have about 3 or 4 of these sets. My husband makes his blood orange margarita (see #3) in them all the time.

3) Our friends introduced us this summer, to this amazing home made margarita that actually may be a little healthy as far as margaritas go. My husband Peter, always striving for the perfect margarita, has perfected it. What started with one squeezed orange, and one squeezed lime, has now morphed into a blood orange, and now.....watermelon. That's right. Oh, and....it's awesome.

Peter's Blood Orange and Watermelon Margarita:

Squeeze 1/4 cup of watermelon juice on a citrus press. Set aside. Squeeze two blood oranges, and two limes. Add juice to watermelon juice, and add to cocktail shaker. Add one shot good tequila, one shot triple sec or Grand Mariner, and a squeeze of agave syrup. Add a handful of ice. Shake and pour into glasses. Makes about 4 drinks.

4) Essie nail polish- Sand Tropez. Love the nude nail polish,. Unfortunately, I have super short nails, that despite my attempts to grow them in the past, I am the most "me" when they are super short and boylike. That's okay. This color is great on toes, and I try and keep mine cute and painted all year long to make up for my boy nails. Buy it here for 3 bucks!

5) Lana Del Rey. She is my new favorite singer, and yes, I know she bombed on Saturday Night Live, but I still think she is amazing. She is kind of a throwback from the sixties, and has a totally unique sound. Her videos are amazing, and I could listen to this song all day.
