LIFE :: Be Mine, Valentine!

I know that everyone and their mother has blogged about the Kate Spade BMine Valentine e-cards but just in case you have only been checking out my blog (I don't blame you), here are a few of my favorites:




Quick! Go send a card to everyone you love here!

xoxo, Whitney

P.S. I love everyone who reads this burro, burro much.

ARTS :: Obama: The College Years

My politico boyfriend recently shared a great TIME magazine article featuring a set of pictures from Barack Obama's freshman year at Occidental College. These are awesome. Really.

I always want to know more about influential figures' pasts and Obama is pretty high up there on the influential members of society list. The images capture the fun side of a young man that grew up to be President. I think we are lucky to have this glimpse into the past.

I'm glad he kicked the smoking habit but I really wish he'd bring that fedora back. Want to see more? Check out the original article here.

ARTS :: Robert Doisneau

Sometimes a few happy photographs have the power to turn a gloomy day a little brighter. The work of Robert Doisneau does that for me. He spent his time taking photographs of happy people in Paris. Who wouldn't want to stare at romantic pictures of mid-century Parisians? Yeah, I didn't have an answer for that either.

FASHION :: Pretty Ballerinas

I thought I'd continue on with my affinity for all things stripey with these lovely flats from PrettyBallerinas.com.




At $179, they are a little steep for my non-existent income but they are perfectly preppy! I'll put them on the shopping list and if I win the lottery (which is a goal of mine), they will be the first thing I buy.

FASHION :: Today I'm Loving: Anne M. Cramer

I didn't think it was possible, but these adorable skirts from Anne M. Cramer fully satisfy my appetite for stripes. Tres chic!
