Mini Moments


New desktop goodies (monogrammed pencil and business card holder from Design Darling).

New York City is starting to feel more and more like home. I've discovered a work-out class that I can't get enough of (Soul Cycle), went to a Yankee's game, had my first L train experience, have been cooking for my guy in our miniature kitchen (mostly simple pasta dishes which are my speciality) and can actually help direct tourists get to where they want to be. Bonus: my little sister and cousin booked flights to visit me next week. Life is good! 


These cute Kitsch ties having been keeping my hair out of my face while spinning. 


DIY supplies from this past weekend (the finished project turned out better than I anticipated).


I am crushing on these cheetah print (spring 2013) Kelsi Dagger heels.


Everything feels fancier when eaten on our china (isn't it pretty?).


Gathering fall (outfit) ideas. In fact, I started a Pinterest board dedicated to fall inspiration yesterday.

That napkin is too perfect! :) This might seem oddly detail oriented, but I love that all of your pens are one color. It makes the whole desk look so pulled together! I might be stealing that one from you. :)

I'm a fellow leopard/cheetah lover too! LOL - by the way, what do you do for a living that you are lucky enough to work from home?

This set of mini moments really made me smile. I'm glad NYC is feeling more like home to you and I can't wait to see your DIY! I hope I'm correct that it must be that necklace you posted on Instagram!

Bettina said...

Sorry if you already answered this, I was trying to find i in the comments but didn't. Where are those pens/markers you have in your pencil holder from? They look so bright, I love it!

Jen said...

I'm quite sure I've said it before, but your object/still life photos are bar-none the most inspiring that I see on all of the blogs I follow! Keep up the amazing work Alicia!

p.s. Totally crushing on those Kelsi Daggers too!

Alicia Lund said...

@Jen - thank you so much, that is SO sweet to hear!! I have to say, (besides fashion) the photography part of blogging is my favorite. ;)

I'm so happy you love your new desk accessories! They are perfect for your adorable workspace. Love the pretty hair ties too! xx

The Glitter Life said...

Jill said...

Love those hair ties for workouts as well, but how is it that your pastel ones are not all red stained like mine from your lovely red and sweaty tresses? Working out and dyed red hair are are tricky combo! I've ruined a few hair ties already :(

Princess Martha said...

Love those headbands!!
And yes....everything does taste better when eaten off china ;)
