some of my favorite things:

thrifty bedside table, preview international patent leather stilettos (the only pair i own, they make me feel unstoppable), steve madden motorcycle boots, my slicky (if you know me well, you already know how special this is...i'll leave it at that ;]) perfume samples from my favorite fashion magazines, my journal, old family photographs, letters from jj accrocco on pretty stationary, the miseducation of lauryn hill, souvenir coco mango lotion from a nice hotel, taupe nail polish, scarlet nail polish, neroli jasmin perfum from the body shop, my $2 antique string of pearls, elf shimmering skin illuminator, the key string to my fan that i wear as a necklace, metal seashell necklace, denim vests, peppermint gum, floral print planner, my phone, quarters, zebra patterned tights, cream irridescent feaux leather wallet gifted by my friend carli, aviators, blank cds, mad men dvds, ernhest hemingway-the sun also rises, truman capote- breakfast at tiffanys (reading now, loving it more than the movie) jd salinger- franny and zooey, the diary of anne frank (i know, sort of a strange favorite, i've read it dozens of times), the trouble with angels vhs, tea light candle in cermic holder, diana mini camera, bottle of granacha, breakfast at tiffanys dvd, la vie en rose dvd, the way we were dvd, the first and only painting i've ever painted since elementary school (covered by books and dvds for good reason, but i really enjoyed making it)

it's strange to see all these things laid out on a tabletop smaller than my pillow, and to know how comforting all these things have been to me in the littlest ways.
