A girl can't read that sort of thing without her lipstick...

So for the past few days, one thing has remained constant--I have a burning urge to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I believe no other movie has so many memorable quotes, so many stylish scenes, or so classy a lead actress (unless we're talking about other Hepburn films, of course).


The movie also prompted me to add "Bathtub Sofa" to my list of furniture/home-things I want when I get a place of my own:

I mean, really! Just look! So over-the-top! So fun!

Speaking of things that are over-the-top,
You know those informercials for the "Big-Top Cupcake" kits? Come on, I know you have.
Well, Wilton now makes a similar pan, so I absolutely had to have one. The result:

A cupcake of the mammoth variety. Delicious, albeit enormous.

And while we're on the topic of delicious desserts, I'm particularly excited for this Friday. I have plans to go to Mozart's Bakery and Piano Cafe in Clintonville. It's an Austrian bakery and cafe(hence the namesake) that features live classical music. A brilliant idea, if you ask me. If you'd like to learn more, click here.



Mozart's is well-known for their desserts, and I definitely plan on sampling one :) It should be a fantastic day.

In the meantime, though, I'll settle for a cup of tea.

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.


Cheers, Jill

  1. I hate Audrey for being so effortlessly classy and gorgeous. But I also love her. We will watch this sometime soon, I promise you. Those Mozart's desserts look DELICIOUS.

  3. That is a fantastic idea. I'm picturing it right now. There is no better way to spend an afternoon than watching Breakfast at Tiffany's and eating little hor d'oeuvres. And dressing up like the classy leading lady herself.
