HiHiHi.... I'm excited to share 10 new things that i have a little crush on. 3-2-1, ready-set&GO!
1. Betsey Johnson's insanely pink and beautiful home. i love it and i love it and i love it... again.
2. underwater photography.
I'm so excited. I purchased this inexpensive little made-for-underwater Lomo camera to play with when we are in Hawaii. has anyone tried one of these before? I can't wait to play around with it. I love $10 plastic cameras to death!
3. This dress. I almost bought it for my 'someday soonish wedding', but someone else grabbed it first. I'm sure they will look gorgeous in it & i think i am going to go for something a little bit less fancy anyway. still a dream dress though... totally! :D
sigh. so pretties. if you are curious, i found it in this Etsy shop. she always has the most beautiful 1950s and 1960s dresses.
4. Jill's adorable grandpa scarf head warmer tutorial. I want to make one, just need to find the perfect grandpa scarf. :))
5. This amazing mod cabin. In love!
6. shoes....... and most of all really cute ones like these:
7. the beautiful music. i made a teeny-tiny playlist (well, it's only two songs) of my two favorite songs of this past week. give 'em a listen. ;) [note: if you are international and you can't listen to the playlist the songs are Horchata by Vampire Weekend and God Only Knows by The Beach Boys]
8. as if i need another collection (haha), i'd love to collect these:

9. and i am completely crazy about these tights.... does anyone know who makes them? i want some... badly.
10. and last but now least..... this dress from All-Mighty is to die for! CUUUUTE! i wanna adopt a Boston Terrier someday. I think Suki would like that idea. I love ALL flat faced dogs and even flat faced kittens. :))




i've been feeling the need to collect rotary phones after getting my orange one...

even set up a land line account for it. my husband is the only one who calls it and i like it that way!
an aqua one for the bedroom is next on the list.

Love your list - as always. Where's you buy your cheap lomo camera from? My sister wants one and I"d love to surprise her with an inexpensive one to play around with.

You read Jane Aldridge's blog too?! Recognized one of her shoe's picture. Lol She featured a 1950's prom dress a couple of months ago. I totally loved it and she looked really pretty. Love your 'someday-soonish wedding dress' too. lol

I've been in love with "Horchata" by Vampire Weekend from the first moment I heard it, a few weeks ago (hooray for satellite radio)!!

It was a bis fun but you need some clean water. not like in a lake :-)

Hey-o Elsie!
Me and my boyfriend went on holiday with a underwater camera, just like you show..
but unfortunately when we wanted to develop the pictures (after 6 months) it were all blanks, so don't wait to long with it!

I have a pair of tights like those that I got from ASOS.com...It was over a year ago though so I am not sure they still have them! :(
I have decided I want a pink house...not sure my boyfriend will be too happy!

I've been saying I want to collect rotary phone for years. I've just been waiting for a home I like enough to decorate. I am thinking that is soon. Cute list!

Bonjour Elsie,
I'm French and I love your blog. What a shame I'm so far I can't visit your shop...
I love your sunday's lists too. The amazing pink dress today makes me think about the last cupcakes I've cooked. They are pink, baked with tea and a delicious rose' cream.
Sorry, the recipe is in French, I can translate it in English if you want to cook it! (and taste it with champagne!) :)

Have a nice sunday, Elo
