Method “Say No To Jugs” Photo Contest And Giveaway

This is my laundry pile, more often than not. You've seen it before. (Hey, give me a break: there is someone currently residing in my apartment who goes through up to five outfits a day, depending on his mood.)

You know, Kendrick and I were sorting our clothes to send out to the laundromat the other day, and I said, "wow, in a month or so I'll be doing all this myself." And in return, he gave me a "aw, sweetie, that really sucks" grimace.

I mean...is he kidding?! He's kidding, right? I could not possibly be more excited about the prospect of having a washer/dryer of my very own to do with what I will. You New Yorkers without laundry rooms in your building know what I'm talking about: it's a dream, the idea of coming in from a rainy day and being able to throw my jeans right into the wash, or getting into toasty, straight-from-the-dryer sheets at night, or knowing for certain that my favorite t-shirt will not be returned to me shrunk down to a size more appropriate for my six-month-old (this just happened; I am not happy about it).

Anyway. This is all to say that I am very much looking forward to becoming intimately acquainted with laundry detergent very, very soon.

I Almost Bought A Stone Turtle

No, I really did.

Look at that guy! Tell me you don't kind of want to own him, too.

But then I realized that if I bought him, he'd have to live under our dining room table for the next month or two, and while a stone turtle sitting under our dining room table isn't a style choice that I'd sneeze at...

Mother’s Day Is Just Around The Corner

So if you're still looking for something, I'm going to go ahead and recommend the jewelry department at Off 5th. It is so good.

And anyway, it's sort of impossible to have a bad shopping trip when you go to an outlet mall; there's just so much variety that you're guaranteed to find something you love. Or something someone else will love.

Pictured above is the necklace that I picked up for my mother-in-law on my trip to the Tanger Outlets in Deer Park a few weeks ago, and which I'll be giving to her when I see her next weekend (she loves all things aqua, silver, and super-long).
