Pushing Daisies!

Pushing Daisies is a show about a pie maker (hot guy who makes pies. Yes please.) who has the ability to bring the dead back to life with the touch of his finger-but only for one minute, if he lets them live then someone else will die in their place. He works with a tough talking private investigator to solve mysteries, and one day he brings his childhood sweetheart to life and can't bring himself to let her go again.

This show is the cutest show you will ever watch, there's a huge vintage influence, and you will walk away wanting to put on a pretty dress, bake a pie, and decorate your house in giant cherry light fixtures and bright floral wallpaper.

Unfortunately the show only lasted two seasons, despite amazing reviews, and numerous awards. But, it is now on Netflix instant watch, so you can watch both seasons, and then perhaps die of cuteness.

So, in a nutshell, cute boy, pies, pretty dresses, and mystery solving. Go watch.

The Killers!


Last night my friend Kendra and I saw The Killers, one of my very favorite bands ever. Of course they were amazing and we both had a blast (It's her birthday tomorrow, Happy Birthday Kendra!). I saw them last time they came for their second album in a much more intimate venue, and this time they had three opening bands, fire balls, confetti, and an endless sea of fifteen year olds in neon leggings and 80s t-shirts. We felt kinda' old :)

Oh yes, and aren't these pants just amazing? I always have outlandish taste in pants (seriously, you should see my purple jeweled ones), and these are no exception. They have been sitting at work for months being made fun of by every passer by and I just couldn't deny my love for them. I had to get them before someone bought them for a Halloween costume then forgot about them in the back of their closet. They are actually really great quality. By Jantzen in the 1960s, made of soft wool woven with metallic threads. There is even a velvet elastic waistband, I never even knew there was such a thing as velvet elastic :) I call them my "Fondu Party Pants" because I can just picture a woman in the 60s having all her friends over for a fondu party and wearing these.
