bits and bobs and my 150th post

Guess what. This is my 150th post. I'm happy about that. :)

Anyway, today is the start of Nick's birth week since his birthday is exactly one week from today. We started the day out right by going to the gym together and then I made him french toast with applesauce on top. We're going to keep on celebrating tonight by going to see The Dark Knight Rises. Movie posters like this one for The Dark Knight have me even more pumped. Seriously, one of the best designed movie posters I've ever seen.

Have a great weekend! The following are a few favorites from around the interweb lately.

I've recently discovered a passion that I have for prop and photo styling and Jen articulates here what I admire about picture like these and the stylists behind them.
I love Amanda's column on her blog. She's featured some of my favorite artists/bloggers.
My new sandals have made me want more new sandals, like this orange pair and these platform coral and grey ones
If I could paint like Katie our whole house would be bright and floral.

This painting by Samantha French makes me think of cloudy days and beaches at the same time, which is sort of the weather we have going on out here today. And it also makes me want to paint. So, I'll rise to the challenge from my inner artist. If you're looking for inspiration checkout my art board on Pinterest.

I am a girl and I wear glasses

These chicas are muy hilariouso.

I've seen them a time or two on other sites and I finally watched their theme song yesterday and then again and again and again.

And again. I’ve been dancing to this song for more than 24 hours and I think that you’ll like it too. These are the girls who wear glasses and they have a "show" mostly vlogging over here. 

Dear Everyone,

Good-bye outer space

We retitled our blog. At this very moment you may be asking, "Why?" You might also be asking, "What was the old title?" Or, if you stumbled onto this blog accidentally, you maybe asking, "What does this have to do with headboards and wedding hairstyles?" (Read on anyway.)

The old title was "I've never really been to outer space..." Which is both a mouthful (brainful?) and a little too obscure. It originally came to my mind because of a beautiful painting my friend Lene made a couple years ago that she let me title "I've never really been to outer space. This is actually just made up." While lovely, Nick said that some people might be confused. So we changed it to one of our favorite songs by Peter Gabriel, which we danced our first dance to at our wedding. Plus we love books, and love and each other, so this title is more appropriate. Not that we hate outer space or anything.

Sincerely,

Ali and Nick
