pinch me, i'm matchbook mag's june gadget girl!

It's true! I am so thrilled and honored to be on the amazing pages of Matchbook Mag. I've been the biggest fan since their very first issue! I read the magazine front to back every month and also follow (politely stalk?) the Matchbook Mag team on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Tumblr. 

Another Butler gal is in the issue too! Christina, a fellow College of Business chica, is featured in the "Just Married" section. Christina and her husband Sean had a beautiful wedding in Sonoma, CA. (And I'm obsessed with her short lace dress.)

Read the entire June issue here!

royal bump watch = satisfied

Can I just say how happy I am to finally see some proper bump pictures of Kate & Royal Baby? It's about time! (And it goes without saying she's the chicest lil mama out there!)

the cup song

 

One of my favorite parts of Pitch Perfect is "When I'm Gone" (aka: the cup song), an audition by Anna Kendrick's character, Beca. Universal Pictures just released an extended version of the song and music video starring a waitressing Anna.

Pipes and rhythm are already a deadly combination, but when you set the scene with wanderlust and a diner ... I'm officially sold.

spa, pool & cabanas: rachel antonoff spring 2013

Rachel Antonoff's Spring 2013 lookbook, starring Pretty Little Liars actress Troian Bellisario, (excuse me while I fangirl like the tween I really am) is pretty much where I want to be. The Beverly Hills Hotel backdrop, blue skies, and ladylike looks - this getaway is calling my name!

leafy green interiors

For my birthday this year, my parents gave me a fake tree for my apartment (I know, my parents are cooler than your parents). I've been itching for a nice pop of color for my beige abode that's low maintenance (for my laziness) and low commitment (for my rental-ness). 

Enter faux foliage. 

My tree wouldn't fit in my car so I'm still without, but I can't wait to find the perfect place to put roots down, so to speak. In the meantime, I'm bookmarking a few inspiring interiors to get my foliage fix.

hello march!

March is a big month in my family. My birthday starts off the festivities on day 1 (24 years young!), and my brothers' birthdays follow on the 14th and 23rd. Add in Spring Breaks, Easter, and swimming championships (in the olden days), the last of the ski season, and the 31 days flies by! 

I love this desktop download by Sugar Paper, based on the desk calendar that's taken the blogosphere by storm. (Check out other adorable downloadable options too!)

an honorable mention, oscar-style

The sartorial winners for last week's Academy Awards are well-known (my faves: Jen, Kerry, and Reese!), but I think a definite honorable mention is required, especially among the guest list at the Vanity Fair Party. 

The top of my list: Diane Kruger (with bf Joshua Jackson) in Gianbattista Valli. Love the shape, and the fact she's showing off ze legs!

I'm sad to see the awards season come to a close ... until next year, Hollywood!
