Being right about HERE.

Wearing this little number.

And sipping a cocktail with my homey, Marge. Wassup gurl.

Marge and I will leisurely gaze out at this, and talk about boys.

Later on, I’ll do a little bit of sunning…

And a little bit of floating…

Then meander back to the hotel…

Maybe pick up one of these on my way…

And rinse off here…

…so that I don’t track sand into my stunning, breezy, high-contrast, India Hicks-esque hotel room.

(By this point, my hair will have dried naturally like this. Because it can do that in dreams.)

I’ll toss this on…

And these…

And maybe a pair of these…

And go on a stroll through town.

Hand-in-hand with…

…DUH. Who else? My boyfriend, Jake Gyllenhal.

We’ll leisurely sip one-nuh these, Lady and the Tramp style.

And after while, we’ll doze off here. Okay, Jake. I’ll be the little spoon.

Then we’ll have dinner right about here. Doesn’t that sound like the best day in imaginary vacation land you’ve ever laid EARS on?

(Sigh.) A girl can dream.

And dream I shall. Because the wind chill in Chicago today is 30 below.

3-0 B-E-L-O-W.

And this is what people in Chicago look like right now:

On that note, one more thing. Hows about a big fat win for THESE guys on Sunday?!

DA Bears!

And if it wasn’t WILDLY politically and religiously incorrect, I’d show you this one too.

Whoops.

Have a great weekend!

Because I’m a freak of nature when it comes to Ball Jars, I got an email from a friend in DC last week asking me to weigh-in on the light fixture below. My response was: Uh, mah GAH – YES. Duh. Purchase it immediately before someone else does. PS: WHERE did that pretty little thing come from?

Answer: From a heavenly little Etsy shop called LampGoods. Not only was the canning-jar-clustered pendant my friend sent me amazing, but when I meandered through the rest of LampGoods’ Etsy Shop, I felt like I’d found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Like, the sort of wide-eyed glee that One-Eyed-Willie from Goonies surely felt when he found the shipwrecked treasure… well, before he was offed by booby traps.

OOooooohhhh boY! I would L-O-V-E these Vintage Hand-Blown Ogunquit Pendants over a kitchen island. [Insert that gross lip-licking noise my mom makes when she sees Don Draper.] These are $269 for the pair and SUPER versatile – they’d look amazing in my parents’ very traditional / country house or in any landscape setting, but I also wouldn’t bat an eyelash before putting them in a contemporary loft. They’d be perfectly lovely in both.

Does this vintage globe pendant remind you of anything?? Like perhaps maybe some-sing a leet-tell…. LIKE ZEESE??

Wassup Jenna Lyons, president/creative-director-at-J.Crew’s bathroom. I’m not positive, but I’d guess the pendant over her tub is this Niche Modern one… 10″ in diameter and priced at $475 a pop. The LampGoods Smokeport II Retro LARGE Globe Pendant is 8″ diameter and priced at $99 – the ceiling canopy kits for this one are sold separately and run $10 to $20. Wuh-BANG that’s a good deal.

Hello, Lover.

I love Ball Jars like a fat kid loves cake. Er, okay, “Mason” jars in general, but I’m from Muncie, so I bleed Ball. Anyway, even though this Vintage Blue 3-light pendant reads a bit more rustic/country and would look sooooooo at home over an antique oak pedestal table, it’d be equally as gorgeous juxtaposed over something sleek, like a modern Saarinen-looking table from IKEA. Pendant Cluster is $189.

Mason jar clustered pendants also come in clear. Yum.

Retro industrial gas station chic, anyone?? This guy is $59, and nothing short of totally rad. I think I just wet my pants.

The Waterville Mixed Media Pendant (above) is larger than you think – 11″ tall by 7″ in diameter, $99, and would be so lovely in an entryway… oooooooh (!) A chic little one with wallpapered walls. Like this:

When I saw the Iridescent Retro Globe Pendant below…

…it reminded me of that scene in “You’ve Got Mail” when Greg Kinnear describes Meg Ryan’s shop as having a sort of “Jeffersonian Purity.” It’s got that same kinda feel.

Another pleasant surprise? I emailed the artist, Jann, who not only responded quickly to my question (love that), but was entirely gracious and accommodating… love that even more. And here’s what I love the most: girlfriend loves CUSTOM PROJECTS. If you want to tweak something already for sale, or have something made all your own and use varying sizes or brands of jars, she can do it. Or if you’re like me and want to use a kajillion canning jars (more “chandelier” than pendant)… like this…
