Daydreams on a Day Off

Days off tend to fall in one of two categories: indulgent or productive.

Today was indulgent. It involved finding goodies on sale at Lush and sampling chocolate. I did laundry out of necessity and then concluded the evening with thai food, red wine and a bedtime browse around Pinterest. Here are some selections of my favorite pins. There's no particular rhyme or reason to the way I've put them together, but in retrospect, they've sparked a daydream in which I am wearing the dress, shoes and earrings while sharing ice cream with mine-yours spoons along with Tiffany-box petit fours, relaxing in the bedroom with the kitten under the covers, and living life by eating well, traveling often and exuding as much energy as the dancer does. Also, I never thought that Tiffany-blue and ruby-red would go well together... but I'm liking the combination!

If you'd like to see how I might continue these dreams of decadence, you can check out my Pinterest here! And feel free to leave a link to yours below!
