Some days it feels like I am just blindly grabbing into my closet, and dragging out the closest thing I find. Those are the days I envy Cher from Clueless and her amazing wardrobe solution.

Want: Nancy Drew’s lunch
I’m not one of those very particular types – I’d be hopeless at cutting vegetables the same size, and neatly. Never mind the sandwich squares.
However, I find the notion of that particular attention of detail appealing. As is the case with the lunch Nancy Drew brings to school on her first day Nancy Drew

Want: Mary Poppins’ bag (not literally)
Screenshot from Mary Poppins I don’t think the appearance of the bag itself is anything to write home about. However, I am still trying to fit everything into one of my bags and failing, so clearly Mary Poppins’ bag company should get to it and mass produce. I am sure some of you would want to bring everything and the kitchen sink with you as well, right?
(Of course, I also have a problem finding things again in my bags when I overload them, so it might be best to downsize instead of sizing up…?)

Want: Hamburger phone from Juno
Now, I don’t have a landline – but if I did, this Hamburger phone from the movie Juno looks whimsical enough that it would definitely be on my list.

Want: Cottage from The Holiday
I know this isn’t a real cottage, sadly. It was constructed for The Holiday
Screenshot from The Holiday And I know, that although it looks cozy on film – reality probably wouldn’t be as nice. (I already live with a cramped bathroom, and it’s not that great, to tell you the truth)
Still, for my dream world, it looks rather nice.

Want: Tattoo from Wild Hogs
I’m an Apple fangirl, and when I first saw this in the theatre – there may have been squealing involved.

Want: Wooden statue from Salisbury Cathedral
This summer, we stopped by Salisbury Cathedral on our family vacation. My dad and I had read Sarum
by Edward Rutherford, and this visit came after we’d been to Stonehenge.
The cathedral in itself is fantastic, but I kind of got caught up in this wooden sculpture by Ernst Blensdorf. It looks amazing. So soft and smooth.

Want: Twinings Lady Grey
Maybe there is something about being a librarian… Most of the places I’ve worked, where there have been a large librarian population – tea breaks have been the norm, not coffee breaks. When I was out on work placement in the UK, I noted that my supervisor and colleagues were adamant that I take my allotted two daily tea breaks. And it was almost as though the heavens would come down if I didn’t.(This might have just been about being British, though… Anyone?)
Even now, we usually have our daily tea break in the afternoon.
One of my favorite teas is Twinings Lady Grey. The smell of it is simply fantastic – and it tastes quite good too. For someone with a sweet tooth, it is a good way to avoid sugar, as there is a slightly sweet taste to it.
Anyone else have teas to recommend? I figure we’re heading into the time of year when having hot beverages around is one of the things that makes it bearable.

Want: Temperance Brennan’s Jewelry
Screencap from Bones While rewatching Bones, I was reminded of how much I love Temperance Brennan’s jewelry. Since I first watched it, I have noticed that parts of my own collection tend to go in a similar direction.
From the necklaces, which may be big and clunky or simpler silver, to an array of earrings – the jewelry gives a special touch. Her outfits are usually very classic lines and styles, so the more distinct jewelry gives it personality
The jewelry tend to have an ethnic slant, either tribal or celtic.
The big clunky necklaces don’t work on me, in my opinion, but I do love some dangly ear things.
