Rescue Ink

As y'all know, CuteOverload is one of my favorite blogs (I bought the 2009 page-a-day calendar today at Barnes & Noble!). This photo is on one of their posts today.













This is an organization called Rescue Ink - a bunch of big tattooed bad-ass looking guys who are fighting animal abuse and neglect. Reading this article in the NY Times about them warmed my heart. And check out the photo gallery - you'll melt. I wish I had more money so I could donate to them...it sounds like they give a lot of their time and own money for a cause they believe so strongly in.

Perfume

I've been wanting a new "signature" perfume for awhile and have ripped out page after page of those "rub this page all over your wrist to be real classy" ads. I really liked Calvin Klein's Euphoria and Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. I went to the mall last night and sniffed both - the Euphoria was a bit too "clean"...I wanted something of substance. However, I couldn't really bring myself to buy the Chanel that quickly for that much money. So I sprayed some on my wrist and we went to dinner. I kept sniffing my wrists at the restaurant for the next hour, and mom talked me into going back and buying it. And I'm happy I did...I had graduation money to spend on a legitimate gift, after all. So this is what I'll be smelling like for the next year or so.

Boudoir

I promise this isn't going to turn into the "what to put at the head of your bed" blog, but I had to include this because it's tufted and fabulous and my shade of blue. From Urban Outfitters, though it's regrettably $325. Anyone love me enough to buy me one?
