A few 'grams from the past couple of weeks (username: OrchidGrey).
Top row: Working form home, two fluffy distractions while I work from home, raspberry's allthetime
Middle Row: AM bird watching, a vintage book, cocktails and pierogies at Kelley's
Bottom row: Organic fireworks, an impulse purchase, AM shadow fun with my sweatshirt string
Currently, I am:
Reading:
After finishing Devil in the White City by Eric Larson, I've moved on to The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides. While I thought Devil in the White City contained interesting facts, it wasn't what I expected it to be. It felt as if, for the first three quarters of the book, I was reading a list of historical information, with the final quarter containing a brief climax of information about the serial killer H.H. Holmes (the real reason I picked up the book, what is it with serial killers?). As far as The Marriage Plot goes, I haven't formed an opinion yet. Right now I find the characters a little irritating an unrelatable (and I usually love reading about characters whom I cannot relate to). We'll see.
Watching:
Law and Order SVU. It's on Netflix Instant right now, and I plan on watching as much Elliot Stabler as I possibly can. We don't have cable, so I'm at the mercy of whatever is available on Netflix Instant, which I am not complaining about.
Anticipating:
The most epic weekend is upon us. And I don't typically stoop to using the word "epic". But man, this is going to be a good one! Tomorrow night we're headed to the Pittsburgh Motor Speedway to watch monster trucks, and on Sunday we're going to a Pirates game. I. AM. SO. EXCITED.
Eating:
Too much unhealthy food! It seems I work in doughnut central, and today I experienced a red velvet doughnut. Oh. Man. So good! I can only anticipate the junk food trend to continue into the weekend. What else would you expect for a monster truck rally and baseball game?
Coveting:
I am loving this patterned wrap skirt from Lulu's . It would be the perfect thing to throw on after a day at the beach.
These are the perfect dressy/casual sandals from Spotted Moth.
This sheer floral dress from Bluesville, USA would look awesome layered over black underthings.
Have a great weekend!

i liked *the marriage plot*--but i'm a brown grad, and it felt kind of like the inside scoop to what went on decades before my time there. ;) i wonder if you would like *open city* (teju cole) or *mr. fox* (helen oyeyemi)? i thought both were pretty fantastic.
cheers,
emily

I freakin' LOVE SVU. Like, in an unhealthy kind of way. I may have even watched them all on them all on DVD myself :) Enjoy!
P.S. I got the job!
I love that wrap skirt and the sheer blue dress - it is really gorgeous!
I have not had red velvet donuts and now I want them. Like...now. That sounds so delicious and utterly dangerous!
Enjoy your weekend! x
The pics are awesome!

Sounds like an amazing weekend! Monster trucks, so fun! It's interesting hearing your book review. I can see your points. I remember really enjoying but I do recall I was going through a hard time then so it would be interesting to read it again and see if I still like it as much. I think Devil in the White City was a good escape for me then. Law & Order is one of my all time favorite shows. I watch repeat episodes even too much. I think you and have a similar love for serial killer/crime stuff. I don't know if you watch the show Community but it's hilarious. Starts off a little slow but gets good fast. Anyhow they did a Law & Order episode and it was spot on and so funny. I think it's on Hulu. Have fun at the Pirates game today!
What a cute post! Love the dresses!!

I suggest watching SVU in order from beginning to end, to really appreciate Olivia's hairstyles. Also, if you want to hear a filthy hip hop song that samples the SVU theme song, let me know.
