I want this.
I have no idea where I'd wear this, and I can't afford it. I want it anyway.
Usually, I only get to wear cocktail dresses to weddings and this dress would be a wedding no-no.

This strapless cocktail dress would be great for some of the many weddings I get invited to. I love the red floral fabric.
Viola Vintage offers vintage inspired clothing from the 1940s - 1970s era. This dress is my favorite.

I want this shark sleeping bag, but where (and how) would I store it?
Chumbuddy Shark Sleeping Bag, Patch Together Store, $199.95

Well, Hayden-Harnett has done it again. I'm currently coveting the Laura reversible tote in Sapphire.

The reverse side is a classic black.

So, I got the the KitchenAid stand mixer last month, and I finally used it for the first time today. OMG it changed my life in 3 minutes.
Now, I want the matching food processor. Am I being greedy? $200 appliances are expensive (I do come from an appliance background).
There was an article on food processors as an important time-saving appliance in April's Real Simple. I've been thinking about food processors all month--ever since I opened the magazine.
Food processor owners, what are your thoughts? Any recommendations?

People tell me I'm the hardest person to shop for. Here are a few hints from Catbird NYC. My friend Sharon discovered this Brooklyn shop, and I am in love with jewels.
I would love the "k", "p" and the heart. I think those would stack nicely. If a "c", "c" get put into the mix, I'd be cool with that. Alphabet Rings, catbird NYC, $88 each

I also like this tiny diamond ring by Blanca Monroz Gomez.

Today I want Cookie Sensations: Creative Designs for Every Occasion by Meaghan Mountford. Over the past month, I've been frequenting Meaghan's blog The Decorated Cookie. She blogs on cookie (and other baked goods) decoration with step by step how-to instructions.
Once the head decorator at a bakery Meaghan now sells cookie decorating sets and writes on The Decorated Cookie and Craft Gossip. Her designs are super cute and creative. I'll be looking to The Decorated Cookie for some cake pop inspiration in the future. Hopefully I'll be able to look to her book, too. I wonder if they have it at the library?

Just think about the cake pop and cake ball magic that could happen with this 10 piece chocolate fork set. I start drooling just thinking about it.
de Buyer® 10-Piece Chocolate Fork Set at Sur La Table, $50
If my Chocolate Fairy Godmother is feeling less generous, I'd gladly accept the 3 piece chocolate dipping fork set from Sur La Table.
Set of 3 Chocolate Dipping Forks at Sur la Table, $16.
Now, if she's feeling extra generous, I'd also like these foil candy wrappers.
Foil Candy Wrappers at Sur la Table, $2.95 for 125 squares (1 color)I could really use a chocolate covered strawberry right now.

I should really call this post "For the Last 4 Years I've Wanted: KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer - Empire Red." Just think of all the cake pop magic that could go on if I had this stand mixer.
This is totally one of those things people register for when they're getting married. Hmm...

If I didn't already have an Empire Red KitchenAid Blender. I might consider it in Martha Stewart Blue from Macy's. GORGEOUS. I love that color. A little less classic than red, though. Had I known this colorway existed when I bought the blender, I would have gone with Martha Stewart Blue.


I love everything from Macy's KitchenAid Martha Stewart Blue Collection.
