When Life Hands You Lemons, Make….

July 29th, 2009

Lemonade

lately, life has been handing me a TON of lemons. so many lemons, that i could set up a lemon stand every weekend for the rest of the year! okay…im exaggerating. :)

in the midst of planning two events (launch party and block party www.littlesshop.com/events), dealing with a plethora of personalities, and getting the shop up and rolling online, i’ve been handed a few lemons here and there. im having faith, i am a firm believer that all things happen for a reason; even if that reason isn’t immediately apparent or make sense, there is a purpose. i’ve learned a lot through collecting these lemons of life and one of those things is that if i don’t start making lemonade out of them quick, they’ll spoil and i’ll be left with hard feelings and rotten lemons.

hopefully, you have a wonderful recipe for making lemonade out of the lemons life has handed you too. if so, please share :)

Treasury, 14th St. DC

July 21st, 2009

i was poking around one of my favorite blogs ReadysetDC and found what looked like a happening store opening on 14th Street in NW D.C.

being one of my boyfriends and i’s favorite spots to hang out, we decided to drive in and give it a look-see. what we found was inspiring and magnificent. located on the second floor if 1843 14th street, we found a cozy shop with all the comfort of a city living room with a couch, small table and exposed brick.

vintage clothing, sake in lime green cups, dj spinning, awesome merch, and friendly faces. needless to say i was happy.

if you’re in the DC area, please do yourself a favor and stop by Treasury. not in the DC area? check them out at www.shoptreasury.com

for now…check out my pics….

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland

July 2nd, 2009

okay, as if tim burton hasn’t already outdone himself with EVERY movie he has ever made, he takes it one step further and recreates Alice in Wonderland. PERFECTION!  and of course, in true Tim Burton style, he starts Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in it, because it’s only right.

if you aren’t ridiculously excited yet, check out these pics and click the link below them :)
