DIY Inspiration: Socialite Skirt

Okay, one thing the internet is really good at is giving me loads and loads of ideas of things that I just HAVE TO make.  Ugh, seriously, I think I need a sewing machine.  This skirt is adorable and this woman's blog is just chocked full of adorable clothes she's made.  I love them all but especially this skirt.  Seriously, I would buy this in a store.  And if I made it?!?  I'd have to make it in EVERY SINGLE COLOR.  Love it.

Socialite Skirt by Elle Apparel (she even posted a tutorial on how she made it!)

p.s. As of right now, no baby yet for Hector's mom and dad.  Last I heard, after 38 hours of labor, they were prepping for a c section.  Oh sweet baby, come safely. 

Princess Kate

I'm not normally very celebrity-crazy, but I can't help but follow all the excitement around Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.  They launched an official wedding website today.  Here.  You're welcome.

More Internet Eye Candy

Who doesn't love a gorgeous and inspiring food blog?  This one is all about What Katie Ate.  I'd like to make the Berry Brulee.

New (to me) Internet Eye Candy

Just found the cutest couple--Sherry and John (and adorable baby Clara)--right here!  I just lost an hour looking at their remodeling/redecorating blog and loved every minute of it.  Bonus that they're my age and John appears to be a UVa fan.

Bike Love

 I've been thinking I should/could start biking to work.  It would be good for me.  It would be good for the environment.  And afterall, it isn't like I still live in Chicago.  (Although this blog tells me that this excuse is a poor one.)  I live in North Carolina.  It's only 3.2 miles from my apartment to my office.  Last night it stayed light out until 7 pm.  Spring is coming and I've made a goal of bike commuting.  (At least on the days that I don't have anywhere to go after work.)

Heather, who went to undergrad with me (but I wasn't lucky enough to know her there) and then transfered to my law school, is way cooler than I.  She's the facebook friend who's constantly posting urgent links about important social justice issues.  You know, the issues I care about but hadn't ever stopped to think about before.  Plus, she's really nice.
