...words to live by. This morning, I did not get my coffee first - we ran out! the horror! - and let me tell you, that combined with the fact that I had to get up extra early for my Top Model moment was not a pretty sight. And should never be repeated. (Like that teaser? More to come soon!)

Available at Hungry Prints

...the possible end to the neverending bedroom dresser hunt. If this Ikea beauty is real (and supposedly it will be come May), you bet your ass I will be first in line. (I totally broke the unintentional coffee-and-gold theme here but this was just too good not to share.)

Soon to be available at Ikea (supposedly)
