Life is too short to wake up with regrets.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy.
They just promised it would be worth it.

Friends are like balloons.
Once you let them go, you can't get them back.

I miss you so much Tree Friend.

I love you and miss you so much.  You are my person.  

5 Things We like today:

**Headbands

Yes headbands.  And I really like the ones here at Ban.do.   

Dudes at bars like them too.  True story.  Always good to carry one in your purse in case you need a costume change at some point in the night.  The ones listed are made by two girls who are stylists from LA, and one is named Jamie!  Love this quote from them: “ jen thinks she is funnier than jamie, but jamie disagrees.”  Hmmm. Sounds familiar, no??

**Alice in Wonderland AND ***Urban Outfitters

There is the amazingness that is this book and these illustrations.  Best.  Thing.  Ever.  Welcome to my dream world.  Check out the video here.

And speaking of Alice…did you ever watch the made for tv version from 1985? It was a 2 night special.. Anywho, you should check it out.....it ROCKS :) There are clips on youtube just search Alice in Wonderland 1985 and they will come up...  creeps my out slightly how slow it moves… but also makes me LOL!! 

Another UO contest and one that we Bats entered but did not win…. Wahhhh…. But the pics that did win are pretty cool so check them out here.

**  Taking boy stuff and making it girl stuff

This is such a cool idea!!!  And so creative J  The basic premise is that you send her a shirt of a boy (one you love or one you hate, really doesn’t matter!!) And she makes it into a scarf, pin or messenger bag.  Super cute results, and you can keep him around forever, or just remember you made something good come from him (and then forget him).

** Emotions Can Be Dangerous

Sh*t don’t I know that.  Dangerous, painful and effin’ hard and miserable.  The real statement here is in the pieces!  This is my #1 favorite item right now. I wear it all the times,  usually even to sleep.  Made by a local artist, Sharif, I saw it on Daily Candy and swore it was made for me. Might because it reminds me of my 2 besties in other parts of the country.  Maybe its because it reminds me of La Roux “ My heart melts just like plastic….”  Maybe it’s the shattered dream of my “bag o’ weapons” necklace. Whatever it is, it makes me happy and I want more. Look out for lots more stuff we like from this guy…. I mean really perfect right? Hearts and guns and cold hard shiny plastic… what’s not to L.O.V.E?

I want this… and this….

Check out all of it here.

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

So it’s a new year finally and I don’t think I can be more excited. No resolutions or promises to myself I won’t keep. Just planning on making it a good year and purging all the bad stuff from 2009. It already looks like Tim Gunn tore through my closet and told me I couldn’t keep anything that wasn’t black, gray or white. I love it. A good friend is planning a bonfire to destroy all evidence of past unhealthy relationships. I am pretty excited for that. It also seems it’s tree friend tradition to ring in the new year with sparkles and cute black shoes. One of us had a few outfit changes as it’s our prerogative to change our minds.

There was no shortage of fun and adventure on New Year’s Day either.

All in all, we’ve been taking a break here at the Batcave, but it seems as 2010 will bring lots of craziness and happiness too. Happy 2010 everyone I hope you are all recovered….

DEAR TREE FRIEND

Dear Tree Friend,

I miss you very much today. Remember our wonderful Thanksgiving in Boston? Sure we were fat and pale and wore brown sweaters but at least we had each other. And winter clothes to hide all the food we ate that year. The turkey stuffed with chihuahua was delicious. That was also my first experience with the famous chicken salad. We spent tons of time in the bathroom and broke about 4 wine glasses. We played beer pong and won. (Its on video). Most importantly, we had more dogs than people and we were happy about it.

Happy Thanksgiving. I love you.

By the way just watched the Las Vegas ep of the The Hills. I loveeed it. Its funny that my favorite characters are the little ones I don't have to deal with much. Kristin's friend Stacie and Spencer's friend Charlie. So funny. And Heidi is nuts. Certified insane. I cannot believe she is trying to have that dudes' baby.
