Plenteous Tiles

I love this bikini from Anthropologie:

I think it's just so unique, with the one-strapped top, the wide cut of the bottom, and the colors.

Bonus: it's on sale!

Fenway Park

For Mother's Day, I got my mom and I tickets to the Red Sox game.  We weren't expecting a great game (our boys haven't been playing well lately), but to our surprise, the Red Sox won 12-1 and played a fantastic game.  Plus, the weather was beautiful and we had good seats.  Really no complaints.

I got a new phone recently and took this photo using the panorama feature:

Other weekend events:

- bought myself these shoes ($16.99!)

- went sneaker shopping with my boyfriend

- had a dinner date at Posto (our new favorite Italian restaurant)

- saw The Hunger Games

- uploaded all the photos I've taken since New Years Eve (super satisfying)

Pretty in pink

Hey, I bought some new shoes and suddenly everything feels right...

Just bought a pair of these for myself!

This is your life.

I would like this mug for my birthday, please.

Mandarin Earrings

Just came across these beautiful earrings on Erin McDermott's website.

They have been added to my birthday wishlist!

Croissant Bread Pudding

I cooked dinner for my parents last night, since my mom had never seen my apartment (despite the fact that I've lived there since September).  I made a chicken and lentil chili in our trusty Crock-Pot, and made Barefoot Contessa's croissant bread pudding for dessert. 

Bread pudding is my mom's favorite dessert, so she's a tough critic, but she loved it!  The recipe was easy to make and delicious - I highly recommend it.

I made a few of my own changes: I used currants instead of raisins (since I already had them in our pantry) and sprinkled cinnamon over the top before putting it in the oven.
