i slurped down this Bloody at a southern bistro, The Kingfish Cafe, in Seattle last September. It did me a world of good after a long night topped off by the most delicious seattle dog ever.

Lately I’ve had an intense mid-winter craving for something fresh and this would totally hit the motha effin spot.

Something tells me it’ll be a bit more difficult to find a decent Bloody Mary in Ann Arbor… Portlanders are so spoiled.

something about these colors makes winter a little more bearable..

these little snapshots sum up my lazy lazy weekend. like i said, it was beyond freezing a few days ago, which lead to a lot of indoor time.

i’ve been going instagram craaazy lately. you can follow me if you’re an instagrammer @catherinemarguerite — or if not, HERE.

the perfect pajamas.

i almost just bought all of this over at Madewell..

but then i realized that i was about to spend $80 on stuff that i already wear, every. single. day.
time for some real people clothes, Cat.

regardless.. there’s a killer sale going on at both Madewell & J. Crew.. (30 & 40% off of sale items… respectively, eeeeee).. do it to it ladies & gents.

(i think it’s pretty pathetic that i never post about clothes or fashion, etc and when I finally do it’s about pajamas..)

so i went on a walk.

the past few days have been so cold. i’m getting a little cabin fever. it’s time to bundle and go outside.

These beautiful photos by my beautiful friends Nicole & Josh inspire:

we’ve both found ourselves in similar situations, call them quarter-life crises if you must, but we’re both experiencing a general loss of direction.

so we regroup. and hope it’s for the best.

in the heart of my heart i know we’ll be fine.

this one is only for you Samanth:
