Personal Favorites: Baker's Twine.

There's just something about classic baker's twine. Makes me want to bake a bunch of cookies and package them up for friends.

Personal Favorites: Castle in the Sky.

Today I am watching a Hiyao Miyazaki classic, Castle in the Sky. If you haven't heard of Miyazaki, you should definitely check him out. Some other favorite Miyazaki's of mine are 'Howl's Moving Castle' and 'Princess Mononoke.' Even if they were the most boring movies of all time (which they AREN'T), I would still watch them for their stellar animation and gorgeous settings. These movies are pure magic.

Personal Favorites: Stripes

I have a confession to make: I am obsessed with stripes. In a really nerdy way. There's just something about summer that makes me want to put on a loose, striped frock and take a walk to the pier (if there were any piers around here). Oh well, stripes make me forget my landlocked state. They are so classic and stylish. And Modcloth also makes them oh-so-affordable.
