The OED (my favorite dictionary) is considering adding some new words! Most of them are ridiculous. Which do you think should go in?
Case of 11 year old girl shows we shouldn’t use BMI testing in schools to shame kids – Dear world: please stop this.
This 1940’s hair and makeup tutorial is fabulous. If there were several more hours in a day, I would look like this sometimes.
Janet Yellen will be the first lady Fed chair! Way to blaze trails, Yellen.
This wedding is lovely. The elephant cake topper! It warms my heart.
Pricescope’s jewel of the week this week is this rose gold, bezel-set, floral-inspired engagement ring. I think it’s lovely. Just the right amount of sweetness.
Hot Boozy Concoctions for Fall. Because: yes. My winter drink of choice is generally Adult Hot Chocolate (Bailey’s!) but I can’t wait to try the Bishop and the Sweet Tea Hot Toddy.
These bejeweled skeletons are amazing. (They’re very old and decorative, but they are real. Don’t click the link if you don’t want to see pictures of skeletons.)

Great blog! Love the book suggestions. Always needing recommendations. Just finished Alice McDermott’s “Someone” and it was fabulous!
Thanks so much! And you’re not the first person to mention “Someone” to me – I just may have to track it down 🙂
The skeletons are amazing! Thank you for that!
I’m happy to share something so cool! I know they’d be more appropriate for Halloween, but I liked them too much to wait.
