If I could be anywhere right now...

I would be in the beautiful Grand Hotel Tremezzo on Lake Como, Italy.  This place is absolute heaven.  Beautifully manicured gardens? Check. Breath-taking scenery?  Check.  Old Hollywood cred? Check!  Greta Garbo was one of the first starlets to stay here, and I can imagine her draped on a terrace overlooking the lake and sighing "I'm finally alone."

Dreaming of...

Burrying my face in this cake.  Spotted on Minted Condition...

I'm dreaming of a girls night out...

Susie and Friends - 2008

Since moving to Portland I have really cultivated a super great group of girlfriends.  I think I'm in need of some girl-talk and a cocktail or two.  This picture by Alex Prager pretty much sums it up...only with more clothes on....

I am dreaming of...

Cyclops Deluxe Edition from Mr. Jones Watches originally spotted on Design*Sponge

This watch!  I think it would be a little too chunky for my tiny wrist, but I love how simple and artistic it is.  It would look so amazing with a LBD and some matte red nails...

Dreaming of new hair...

I love this shaggy bob.  I want it on my head. Maybe even in red...

Dreaming of the perfect reading spot...

Today is cold and rainy in Portland (of course), and all I want to do is stumble around a library for the perfect book, and curl up in bed to devour it.  There is literally nothing better than the smell of an old book and becoming so entwined in the story that everything around you fades away.  Maybe this weekend I'll make this dream come true...

Dreaming of my own space...

2010 was not my blogging year, but 2011 is a different beast entirely.  I know it's only been five days, but I have blogged everyday.  Check out my new blog  I'm So Proud Of Myself.  I'm striving to make myself proud everyday by stepping outside my comfort zone.

Since I have been so proactive lately, I can't help but daydream of the perfect place to curl up and explore the world...
