♥ Christina has been posting nothing but vintage photos of her gorgeous grandma over on her tumblr this week and they are all so happy-making. The one above I found to be particularly adorable.

♥ Speaking of family photos, I’ve also been completely captivated by Backyard Bill’s series of family portraits. His work is always so, so great.

♥ Have you ever wondered how the heck to wear a petticoat? I sure have! Let’s let Solanah, from Vintage Vixen, tell us everything we need to know.

♥ 100 thank yous go to Rebecca from Minn Chic for giving the heads up that the OPI collection inspired by The Muppets (!!!) is coming soon. You can view the slide show of colors here; I pretty much want them all.

♥ Have you been weeping into your empty wine glass because sangria season is over? Yeah, me too. Let’s all dry our eyes and make this autumn-y version, c/o Fresh Tart Steph, OK? OK.

♥ How cool is this contraption? It turns a basic jar into a beautiful, lace-y vase.

♥ Speaking of design done well, I’m in so much love with these daily metaltations, found via Miss Moss. The first one is my favorite, followed by the light bill one.

♥ This post, full of fresh ideas for wearing florals into the fall, couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time. Thanks Lavelle!

I’ll be back soon with a fun how-to…til then, take care.

style magic: meryl streep

Ah, Meryl Streep. One of my inspirations for slapping on SPF on the daily. As gorgeous as she is now, I had fun digging up pics of her from the late ’70s and ’80s. Whether she was riding a subway in a sundress or sitting at a table at the Academy Awards with an upswept updo and kohl-rimmed eyes, she’s just. so. radiant.

Here’s a hint…

I’m taking a piano class! Every winter, I try to do at least one thing through Community Ed. Last year, I swam laps every week in an extremely overly chlorinated pool in Northeast. Tonight,  Intro to Blues Piano Using Chords and Playing by Ear. I’m stoked!! Here’s hoping my rusty fingers are up to the challenge. They said beginners welcome…

blogroll love: kissssing

Hello.

My name is Meghan, and I just fell in love with a blog called kissssing. Truth: I’m a sucker for anything romantic. Including, of course, making out. Which is why this mushy blog gets special attention whenever it pops up in my reader.

kissssing

On it, you won’t find dating tips or advice for making your marriage better. Just sweet, sentimental photos of people getting all lovey-dovey, with a love-related quote or lyric inserted here and there.
In a word: perfection.

Jim Folsom, Governor of Alabama 1947-1951

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

My Baptist grandma didn’t lie: Dancing leads to kissing.

Linda & Paul McCartney

Making out while afloat in inner-tubes, beer in hand?
This couple rules!

And, since we’re talking romance, check out this to-do list handwritten by Johnny Cash. Judging by item no. 2, it seems that Johnny, too, recognized the importance smoochin’ has in a long-lasting love affair.

P.S. This gem is up for auction on December 3 & 4, along with a whole slew of Johnny’s personal items. Wouldn’t this, framed up, make for the most romantic present EVER? I would m-e-l-t with happiness if I found this under my Christmas tree. Sigh…a girl can dream, right?

Meghan

P.S. Thanks to When You Awake for the heads up on the Cash estate sale.

And asked to have it look just like hers.

Of course I didn’t get cut that short, but my girl Liz rocked out bangs just like hers, and I’m a happy girl. And since I’m too tired to blog much else, I figured I’d share with you some pictures of this gorgeous rock and roll style icon.

Photos from here & here.

Nighty night!
