:) Today in Luxury Items That I Cannot Afford But Like To Dream About Anyway: this. Ugggggh it’s so pretty.

:) Russell Brand’s piece on Robin Williams’ death is a must-read. “Is it melancholy to think that a world that he can’t live in must be broken?”

:) This video of a man who doesn’t realize he is sitting in an audience surrounded by people whose lives he saved fifty years earlier will bring you to tears.

:) I tried on this blazer-style jacket while wandering around a mall before going into labor, and it may look simple…but the color (go for the navy) and shape are deceptively awesome. Boxy and boyfriend-y and cozy and perfect for fall.

:) I’m all about Brinners (breakfast-for-dinner) at the moment, mostly because baby = no time to cook anything that takes more than five seconds. Sugarlaws’ Avocado And Egg Toasts are coming up tonight.

:) My friend Nadine Jolie is a beauty and travel blogger…which means I am very interested in her post about her travel skincare routine and the items she never boards a flight without.

:) Speaking of perfect for fall: how about gold heeled loafers…for just thirty bucks? I thought so.

:) Dita Von Teese came out with a line of nursing bras and postpartum body shapers. Cool.

:) I have thought about purchasing these gorgeous Fleur de Lys water/wine glasses for years. Literally. Years. And they’re eight dollars, making the fact that I haven’t just bought them for the sole purpose of freeing up the space in my mind dedicated to wistfully gazing at them every time I see them in a store is…weird.

Best feeling ever: Coming home after a long (long) trip to find a sparklingly clean house. Our friend stopped by to get our place spruced up for our return (1 1/2 weeks!) and I cannot wait to collapse onto that couch. #cleanfeelsgood

:) I miss my living room. (That’s a Crate & Barrel couch, by the way, and the BEST THING IN THE WORLD.)

:) How to make the best fresh tomato sauce ever.

:) A piano-key clutch with a lucite bow?! YES.

:) Loved this article on 10 things you learn from a good relationship (my favorite: forgive quickly and truly).

:) A Where Are They Now? for one of my personal contenders for very best show ever. That’s right: I’m talking about America’s Next Top Model.

:) This hair stylist spends his Sundays cutting hair for the homeless.

:) A bedazzled…water bottle holster? I didn’t believe it either. And now I’ve seen it, and I cannot unsee. Let’s call this one “not recommended.”
