Skimming through Elle on the beach, I noticed a cute line of bathing suits called Red Carter sold at Everything But Water. Obviously you know I love the boob-flattening bandeau tops that minimize tan lines.
This oneis my favorite of the collection for $79. I would wear this with my white Nicolita bottoms and throw in a blue or red belt (as opposed to the gold it came with). Click here to see what I’m talking about.

i love Red Carter! i’m so happy his suits are getting so much press lately. he’s really a sweetheart!

I am currently writing from the Bolt Bus on my way from the city to Philadelphia. So far, so good! And it was only $7. Unfortunately it doesn’t go directly to Wilmington, so I have to take the train from Philly to Delaware.

our mouse traps. probably not the most effective way, but we didn’t want to kill him and it was too late to go out and buy traps.

We have a freaking mouse! I cannot work here anymore! I will stand on my chair until this matter is RESOLVED.

We have a mouse living in my dorm room! We have named him Stuart. Late at night he comes out and eats the paint off my roommates’ closet. We set up a trap with peanut butter underneath of it and while we weren’t looking he dragged the peanut butter out from underneath the trap. He is a smart little thing.

Colbie Caillat - Realize

Even if she has gotten a bit overplayed (Bubbly much?) I find her songs to be pure and genuine and I love her voice. I can’t wait for her duet with Jason Mraz. Should be delicious.

The Colbie/Jason duet is on his myspace! Sooo good.

I saw Kate Nash at Webster Hall last week. I love her CD, but I wasn’t sure how she’d be live. She was surprisingly great and it was a really fun show.
