pastel nails

i'm so in love with pastel nail polish. right now i'm wearing Maybelline's Pie in the Sky (a nice pale periwinkle), and looking at all the collections that are featuring pastel colors. it makes me want to go out and buy lots of nail polish! even though i already have way much more than a girl could ever need. oh well. i can just eye the pretty colors from a distance...but if i see the perfect shade i'm totally going to buy me some nail candy!

these are the pastel colors from China Glaze's Up & Away 2010 collection:
Light As Air; Something Sweet; Re-Fresh Mint


Lemon Fizz; Peachy Keen; Sugar High

vanessa bruno


i'm sure some of you have seen Vanessa Bruno's video showcasing her SS10 collection, but for those of you who haven't here it is! it's so sweet and fun. my favorite part is the chalk dancing. i want to try that one day! although i'm sure it would thoroughly coat my throat and give me an allergy attack. sigh. well, i'm content with watching this beautifully made video. what a great way to show off clothes! and oh how delightful the ending is =]

six ways

six ways to get over (or just try and cope with) a horrible breakup.

1. talk to your best friend for as long as possible on the phone (never underestimate girl power in a situation like this).

2. eat your weight in your favorite comfort food.

3. don't stifle your emotions.

4. realize, as cliche as it sounds, that time will make things easier.

5. go flirt with that one waiter over at that one cafe that you once saw and thought was cute. you know the one.

6. know that there are people out there that will always love you. for who you are.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

sweet tooth






















i'm usually not the kind of person who craves sugary food. but lately, i've been having the hugest sweet tooth! brownies, cake, macarons, chocolate...i'm lusting after it all. now, if you'll excuse me, i'm off to New Seasons to buy a carton of scrumptious little cupcakes...here are some lovely pictures of deliciously good looking desserts for you to drool over in the mean time.

My photo
Portland, OR, United States
hi! i'm Lena, but you can call me Lulu. i love Frida Kahlo, feminism, art, reading, kitties, and drinking tea. i love the film Amelie and i think that the tiny traveling gnome has stolen my heart. i want to own a bookshop and live above it one day. i get quite passionate about things. i tend to think too much. i'm kind of a hermit.
