This weekend, magic was happening in my kitchen. We had friends over and I whipped up some home made pizzas, including my famous sweet potato and brie pizza. I say famous but that might be a stretch; it's just really good and I make it whenever people I like come over. Beside my assembly line of delicious pizzas, I had my denim jacket arranged on the counter with the sleeves carefully folded in yogurt tubs of bleach. And then beside the denim jacket, was the laptop... playing YouTube clips of Charlie Sheen (I blame Matt for this). I told you... magic?

I 100% took the idea of bleaching out the sleeves of a denim jacket from Jessie of The Concrete Catwalk. I had been following her blog for a while already but then I met her in Texas last month and she is as sweet as she looks. Sweet and smart and really driven... Being around her was a little kick in the butt to stop being content with just making sarcastic comments at the television and to start making things happen. You know, like... big things. If I were cool, I would have put her look on pininterest (thanks for explaining it to me La Petite Josette) but we all know I don't participate in trends like that until they are so last year. I tweeted about it though. Have you heard of this thing called Twitter? It's crazy... You should follow me. I shared my dream about Justin Beiber on it today...
