I've got the golden ticket!

Growing up, Willy Wonka was one of my favorite movies. I always wanted to win a golden ticket, who didn't? Well now you have a chance of winning one! Willy Wonka came out with a line of chocolate bars, called "The Exceptionals", which are being introduced with a golden ticket contest! A lucky five winners, will get a trip around the world! Not as good as a tour of the chocolate factory, but pretty damn close. Will you go buy a bar?

Veruca Salt was always my favorite, mainly because I liked her dress.

CHANEL-LO!

Random fact about me... one of my goals in life is to own lots of Chanel. J'adore Chanel's Spring 2010 line. C'est magnifique! I will donate a kidney for a pair of those ballerina tights. Here are some of my favorite looks. Enjoy!

While visions of croissants danced in my head....

I am going to make croissants this week. I like to bake,  I LOVE croissants, and there is not one bakery around my house that makes them. So, I have decided that I will have to make them. It will be a tedious task that will take me all day and I am not looking forward to it, but I am looking forward to eating them:) I will let you know how it goes. OH, and if anyone has tips on making them or a particularly good recipe, please feel free to send it my way!

In other, non-pastry news,  it is Jonathan and I's four year anniversary this week:) I have no clue what to get him:(

Craving.......

I love the Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 collection! Emma Watson looks so grown up! I now realize that I am in desperate need of a Burberry trench coat or something very similar. Hope you had a great weekend!

O Canada!

Who knew Canada was so breathtaking! After seeing these photos, Canada has just shot up into the top five on my travel must see list! Has anyone been there? Did you love it?

Ice Ice Baby...

On a recent trip to Ikea, I was stopped cold by a giant collage of pictures from the IceHotel in Sweden. You sleep on ice, covered in reindeer skins and a thermal sleeping bag, in a chilling -5 degrees. The hotel melts every summer, turning into a river, and then they rebuild it every winter! This is the absolute coolest thing I have ever seen and I am dying to stay there one day!

I wouldn't mind getting married there either!

"Oh the places you'll go"

I decided this year that I was going to read as many books as possible. I'm hoping to get through 75.....:) we'll see if that happens. So far, I've read I've read five, five down and 70 to go. I am currently reading Anna Karenina for the first time, it's my first Tolstoy and I have to say that I am in love with this book!

 I love imagery of old Russia. If you have any great reading suggestions please feel free to tell me about them. Have a fabulous Monday night!
