A few months back I showed you all the fun and easy ways I was updating my bike here. I liked the basket I put on it well enough but then I found a wicker basket that matched the basket on my handle bars and I HAD to have on my bike. So here she is, new basket looking so pretty.
We just used those plastic zip ties to secure it. I can’t even stand how cute it is! I’m going to grocery shop with this thing so much…

Since you may never see my apartment…
…you may never know, that in my hallway my favorite wedding photo sits in a frame I found on clearance at Target for $7 and on the matting is written my absolute favorite poem by Arthur Gillom that the creative and wonderful Katie Sayer transcribed for me without asking for anything in return. (Her handwriting is INCREDIBLE, I think it’s even a font now).
I want you when the shades of eve are falling
And purple shadows drift across the land ;
When sleepy birds to loving mates are calling–
I want the soothing softness of your hand.
I want you when the stars shine up above me,
And Heaven’s flooded with the bright moonlight ;
I want you with your arms and lips to love me
Throughout the wonder watches of the night.
I want you when in dreams I still remember
The ling’ring of your kisses–for old time’s sake–
With all your gentle ways , so sweetly tender.
I want you in the morning when I wake.
I want you when the day is at its noontime,
Sun-steeped and quiet , or drenched with sheets of rain ;
I want you when the roses bloom in June-time ;
I want you when the violets come again.
I want you when my soul is thrilled with passion ;
I want you when I’m weary and depressed ;
I want you when in lazy , slumberous fashion
My senses need the haven of your breast.
I want you when through field and wood I’m roaming ;
I want you when I’m standing on the shore ;
I want you when the summer birds are homing–
And when they’ve flown–I want you more and more.
I want you , dear, through every changing season ;
I want you with a tear or with a smile ;
I want you more than any rhyme or reason–
I want you, want you, want you, —all the while.
-Arthur L. Gillom

Make-up tutorial {Minimalist-Neutral-Cat-Eyes}
I love cat eyes. I do not however, see the wisdom in wearing heavy makeup to work on the daily. This morning though, I felt like doing something other than my normal make up routine, so I bring you… Minimalist-Neutral-Cat-Eyes.
1) Take a wide thin brush (similar to the one that comes included in the Naked pallet by Urban Decay)
2) Tap on some sparkly dark brown shadow
3) Starting about 3/4 of the way into your eye, sweep the brush just above the lash line all the way out past the end of your eye (creating the soft cat eye)
4) Add a little black eye liner just below the lash line on the inside of the lid near the cat eye streak
Add your brown mascara, a little blush, some chap stick, highlight your brow, and you’re ready to go.
Enjoy!

Toms pillow
I don’t know about you, but I don’t actually keep my TOMS in the little pouch that they come with. What I have done is stuffed it with pillow stuffing, sewed up the open side and thrown it on my couch.
Super SUPER easy DIY: TOMS throw pillow.

Shelves in the kitchen
A few months back we painted and added shelves to our big blank boring kitchen wall, and I wanted to show you all what a huge difference a can of paint and $30 in shelves from Ikea can make!
Are you going to add some shelves? Where are you putting them up?

Bad day fancy snack
Okay, so sometimes when I’ve had a stressful day, I like to have this for dinner, or lunch, or breakfast. It’s not really anything earth shattering, but the first time I ever had it was at my bridal shower and it always seems like fanciest snack in the whole world to me. It’s a baguette, apricot jam, and sharp cheddar. It is SO delicious, like, words cannot describe, so I’m not going to try and make them.
Today was one of those days. It’s fancy snack time. Yum.
Enjoy!
