Birman cats.
Listening to music I haven’t listened to in a long, long time and falling in love with it all over again.
Bright Star. ♥ Again. (Why yes, I am obsessed!)
Cliched sailor-style tattoos.
The colour magenta.
Christmas lights that are still on in the middle of January.
Brilliant ideas in the middle of the night.
Homemade blueberry muffins fresh from the oven when the tops are still crunchy.
Snow! (Snow never gets old in my books, and is always happiness inducing.)
Receiving a response to a message I sent Coco Rocha. “Oh you’re sweet. I’ll tweet about it after 7pm! Xoxo” Saving that forever!
Eating so many Sweet Tarts your tongue becomes tingly for hours.
Discovering my Dad also likes Natalie Portman.

“Do not covet your ideas. Give away everything you know, and more will come back to you… The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually you’ll become stale. Somehow the more ideas you give away the more comes back to you.”

Snow. Lots and lots of snow. The kind you can make snowmen out of.
Baking brownies and using the sifter to sprinkle powder sugar on the top. (Eating the brownies is also a plus.)
Left over spring rolls. They’re better when they’re mushy.
My new crown earrings from Sophie. (I’ve been wearing them ever since I opened the gift wrap yesterday.)
Playing ‘hide the stuffed toy skunk’ with my brother.
Curling up in bed and watching The O.C. reruns.
Starting NaBloPoMo!
Games of Chinese Checkers.
Learning about brussell sprouts.

We had our first major snow fall here today! I woke up to a good 3-4 inches! Horray! I love snow so much – possibly beyond a natural amount – so it was a pleasant surprise.

Welcome to The One Hundredth – my 100th post! I’m so thrilled! It’s hard to believe that only 3.5 months ago, I reached 50 posts. And a few short months before that, back in dreary February, I revived this itty bitty little blog from its year-long hiatus. I’m so glad that I did, too. In fact, knowing how much this blog and the people I’ve met through it mean to me now, I only wish I would have brought it back to life much sooner. Hello, sappiness. ;)
But anyhow, when faced with the task of coming up with “the perfect” topic to celebrate the 100 post mark, I had so many different ideas of what to do, but nothing seemed quite right. Until I found the photograph below. And then it just clicked. After all, that’s what this blog is all about in the first place: anything and everything that I love and find inspiring. My favourite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters that melt into springs,
These are a few of my favourite things…
