With Spring comes that wonderful feeling of energy that has lain dormant all winter and basically makes you want to make out in fields of wild flowers, under blankets of stars and of course in all bodies of water...or maybe thats just me...
Where did the sunshine go?

What I learned this week in blogland…
I read a great deal of blogs everyday...well I peruse a great deal anyway...and this week I thought I would share a few of the highlights of what I read...
My new obsession is the blog Crafting an MBA, which I consider blog-crack and I wait with baited antisipation everyday for a new post. Today's guest post is perfection on a topic dear to my heart:
...etc is an outstanding source for eye candy Wednesday's post did not disappoint:
I love reading Hula Seventy, specifically a project the author, Andrea is working on this year where she posts a list every week: is delightful!
Emersonmade's blog did indeed bring: on a dreary Monday (also my birthday!) this week.
Mrs. French was the guest blogger over at SF Girl By Bay today and brought with her oodles of: !
Last but not least, From Betsy with Love had a post on whom I also am loving these days...yay!
Happy reading and Enjoy the weekend!!!
I had so much fun with books last week in my apartment, I figured that we should meaner on over to the library and frolic amongst the stacks of books...we of course ended up amusing ourselves greatly!

Happy Birthday to Me!
Yesterdays Out & About was not so much out, but I thought it might be nice to share a bit of the new home of Sierra, Faye & Manic Trout. So this week the intern (Jacqueline) and my sister Thea helped me show off One of A Kind pretties as we mingled around the new digs decked out in green for St. Patrick's Day!
As always, check out the full photo shoot and fan Manic Trout on !

...where will we go next???
Oh how I wish I was Alice…
well...I really only want her clothes...or rather access to Colleen Atwood's Costume skills...seriously though I almost couldn't follow the movie as I was so enraptured by her dresses. Have you seen yet? Worth checking out for the clothes alone...but Tim Burton as usual did a phenomenal job and it was great to see the film both on the big screen and in 3d!
The dress Alice wears in the real world is beautiful and all, but it's a period dress from Alice time and as pretty as it is, its nothing we haven't seen before...

After Alice shrinks she fashions this little number out of I think her slip...clever girl that Alice is...

After her encounter with the Mad Hatter, her creation becomes a bit too big again and the talented mad man whips up this creation...

empire waist, flowing skirt and look at that bodice and bow...swoon...

Of course that girl likes her altering substances and very soon grows too big for her wee bits. The red queen takes a liking to her and has her outfitted in a divine confection of tulle that I swear I gasped at when Alice appeared in it in all its 3d glory!!!

look at those raw edges and the light as air effect, so delightful...

I sadly can not locate a good photo of the tunic Alice wears with the white queen, but I loved that she was put into such a different look then the girly dresses...if anyone can find an image of it, please let me know

The piece de resistance was of course the armor...its fantastic! My friend Olesia whom I saw the movie with looked over at me in her goofy 3d glasses and said she had a feeling there was necklace inspiration in that one for me...and she might be right...

Last but not least is that coat, oh that coat!!! I have a thing for coats and this one is divine...I want it.

If you want to learn more about the costumes I found a pretty good site that goes into detail about them...check it out .
