Good Morning!

I'm enjoying a nice breakfast and mulling over my options today. It is GORGEOUS here. Cold, yes. But the sun is shining and the sky is clear--sounds like a perfect day for a bundled-up bike ride!! I'm definitely taking Rosie out for a spin later. 

Also on my agenda: paying bills (ick), cleaning up a bit, and doing something with my house. It's just depressing at this point. Not a total re-do but a little rearranging and a few new additions would be perfect. Speaking of which, I've been searching high and low for an inexpensive rug for my living room and I think I've found just the one!

This is just a little snapshot of it, but to see some more pics click here. AND it's been marked down! Perfect for a little salesgirl like myself. 

Enjoy the day beautiful people!! xoxo

Bicycle Lovin'

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Rosie (pictured below), my fabulous little 1970s Sears and Roebuck "Free Spirit" three-speed. Complete with a rack on the back and glossy red paint, this is how I get around town. I love my bike--and all bikes for that matter! I snatched up this beauty off of Craigslist (gasp!) for $40. Sweetness. 

If you live near the square/campus (or hey, anywhere in Oxford for that matter), I highly recommend using a bike as your main mode of transport. And no, this is not just because I don't have an automobile (ok, maybe it is).  I know that lots of Oxford's elite greenies and Honors Collegians love them a good bike, but I aim to spread the bicycle lovin' to everyone else in town (or anyone else who feels inspired!). Let's take a cue from those fabulous Europeans. Good old John F. Kennedy once said, "Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride" and I couldn't agree more. The fashion blogger, The Sartorialist, dedicates a section of his archives to sassy cyclists. Even Vogue agrees with me (here are their picks for the best bikes). Now the only thing I need is a cute hat and the perfect basket. Hmmmm...so far this one is in first place.

MK-the ultimate style maven herself- also chooses a two-wheeler (when she's not cruisin in the porsche).

OMG Jack Bauer

Republicans...

.....and Democrats like their bikes!

And so did the Beatles. Convinced yet?
