Things i LOVE Thursday

Baking tie-dye cupcakes

When I read I Heart Daily's post about She's the First, I was intrigued by the organization, which sponsors girls’ education in the developing world, helping them be the first in their families to graduate. For a fundraiser, the organization encourages people to hold a Tie-Dye Cupcake Bake-Off. Even though I wont be able to participate in the national bake-off week, I had to try my hand at the cupcakes and share what I had learned about this organization.

Re-reading Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman

I read this biography a few years ago and enjoyed it. The Duchess is based on this book, and while I found the movie beautiful but depressing, the book is simply fascinating. Georgiana's life reads like an eighteenth century soap opera.

Listening to "Under Your Spell" by Desire

I've had this song stuck in my head since I saw Drive.

Wanting some new shades

I am the queen of cheap sunglasses, but for once I would like to splurge on a pair. "The Bowery" is designed by Rebecca Minkoff, which makes me want these even more...

Hearting these pretty shoes

The Stratosphere Mary Janes from BHLDN are just the sort of whimsical touch every outfit deserves.
