:: EMERY SHOWER ::

So much of my life is centered around babies and baby showers.  Angela is 8 weeks behind me and I'm almost 9 months pregnant.  Wow - time sure does fly.  Her friends put together a very cute shower with delicious food and cute games.  Here are my favorite things from her shower.

:: MALAYSIA 2011 ::

Traveling by yourself on an overseas flight while being 5 months pregnant can be quite a challenge.  First, you need to make sure you get an aisle seat because of the many bathroom breaks that are involved.  Secondly, all smells from foods to perfumes to paper bags make you want to puke.  The swelling of the feet doesn't make things any  easier.  My nephew, Aiden, was born back in February so I had to make it a priority to visit him and my sister before my own kid arrived.  The trip was a success!  I learned how to bathe a baby and change some diapers.  I also got to visit some sites but again, the trip was mainly to visit family.

:: URBAN CAMERAS ::

I like going on the urban outfitters site just to look at the fun and cute novelty gifts they have.  Their selection of old school cameras is pretty cool.  They aren't your typical 35mm cameras and that makes them extra special.  Most of them are lomography or fisheye cameras.  If I had the extra cash, I would definitely get at least one of these cameras.  The designs are just down-right rad and very ID-y.  I really want one!

:: CREATIVE CANDLES ::

I had to research candles for work and ended up on gilt today where I found some Voluspa candles and votives I really liked.  They are all unique in their own way whether in shape, color or pattern.  I think I just like their overall aesthetic.  

 

 

:: BORED SKETCHES ::

It's been a cold couple of days here in Atlanta.  I no longer have cable television so I find myself sketching random things around the house for fun in the evenings now.  Here are just some of the things you might see if you're in my house:

Happy Friday!

:: HAPPY DECEMBER ::

Before we jump into Christmas and winter full swing, I'd like to remember how nice fall is.  Here's a leaf series I took while in Chattanooga over Thanksgiving weekend.

:: TUESDAY TUNES ::

Music makes me a happy person and it is a definite source of inspiration.  I usually default to R&B music when I work but lately I've been in a different mood.  These CD's are currently the most played in my iTunes library: 
1. Priscilla Ahn - A very mellow CD I like to listen to when I want to get into a calm groove.
2. Florence + the Machine - I recently purchased this CD and now I love getting hyped up to it.
3. Straight No Chaser - An amazing a cappella group. This CD is all Holiday songs.
4. Queen - What can I say?  They're classic!  I've been on a rock-band kick so they're back on my playlist.
November is almost over so I'm pretty sure I'll be listening to Christmas music the entire month of December.  Check out these albums and enjoy!
