Reunited and it tastes so good!
I FOUND IT!!!! The hunt is over for me this season. I have found a McDonald's that actually sells the infamously hard-to-find eggnog milkshake that I wrote about last year. Coincidentally, the McDonald's I found the shake at is in Lafayette, the same town that the treehouse house might be built in.
Please feel free to post a comment if/where you've found the eggnog milkshake too!

Yearbook Yourself
This is so much fun to do! Upload a photo of yourself and see how your yearbook photo would probably look like in 1950 or 1978 or 2000. The results may shock you! They will probably make you cringe too. I sure did!!!

The Condé Nast Store
Condé Nast has opened up its archives to the public and are allowing us all to purchase their photos, magazine covers, and illustrations as wall art. and I think it is so great that Condé Nast has this service. There are so many incredible photos to choose from!!
The Vogue cover (by Erwin Blumenfeld of Jean Patchett) above is my favorite magazine cover of all time. What I would give to have it!!! Sigh.... The link to that image is here. Prices range from $225 - $535.
From the Condé Nast Store:
Each print is reproduced using state-of-the-art digital equipment. The Hahnemuehle pearl printing paper is a fiber-based surface developed in the tradition of the Silver Gelatin prints, the original gold standard of archival photographic reproduction. The paper’s weight of 285 grams per square meter reduces rolling and curling, and its UV-resistant pigmented inks can last for more than 100 years.
The Larson-Juhl hardwood frames—available in several sizes—include archival 8-ply, acid-free matting; ultraviolet-filtering Plexiglas; and hanging hardware. Each image is accompanied by an authentication letter from our archivist and a provenance label detailing the image, magazine, and artist.
Charles and Ray Eames Stamps
These have been out for a couple months now, but I'm slow I guess! I didn't know about 'em til very recently.
$6.72 for a Pane of 16 stamps @ USPS.com
From USPS:
This is a commemorative sheet of 16 42–cent Charles and Ray Eames stamps.
On June 17, 2008, in Santa Monica, California, the Postal Service™ issued 42–cent commemorative stamps Charles and Ray Eames in a commemorative sheet featuring 16 different designs.
Honoring the husband-and-wife design team of Charles and Ray Eames, this commemorative sheet of 16 stamps was designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, and represents the breadth of their extraordinary body of creative work, which includes architecture, furniture, film and exhibits.
Custom Keds!
I grew up in Keds, so this is a really cool idea to me! You can totally customize your Keds now with premade patterns or even by uploading your very own art!

Harajuku Lovers Coffret Solids
Darling! And so yummy smelling! My fave is "G" which smells very tropical & beachy. :)
$60.00 @ Nordstrom
From Nordstrom.com:
Five new fragrances, each with their own scent and style. Inspired by the electric street scene of the Harajuku shopping district in Tokyo, the Harajuku Lovers collection captures the lyrics and iconography from Gwen Stefani’s albums. A fatal attraction to cuteness.
Love is super cute and frilly; a floral bouquet. Lil’ Angel is sassy and sexy; a citrus floral. Music is tough with attitude; a fruity floral. Baby is girly and sweet; a powdery floral. G is the leader of the pack! A fruity gourmand.
* Set includes all five girls in solid perfume compacts.

Jitterbugging on "Dancing With The Stars" last night!
I absolutely loved this routine! Julianne Hough is such a great choreographer. And I'm so glad Dancing With The Stars added the jitterbug and the hustle to the selection of dances.

Green Day + Butch Vig
I'm not too crazy about Butch Vig producing the new Green Day record, but at least my favorite band is finally back in the studio! It's been much too much too long since a new Green Day record (I love 'em but Foxboro Hot Tubs doesn't count IMO). But Butch Vig? I like Garbage & all, but I dunno.... I hope their long time producer, Rob Cavallo, still has a role SOMEwhere on this new record....

Green Day in studio with Nirvana producer
By Jonathan Cohen
Tue Oct 14, 8:17 PM ET
NEW YORK (Billboard) - Confirming news that Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson let slip recently on "The Carson Daly Show," Green Day is in the studio with veteran producer Butch Vig working on the follow-up to 2004's "American Idiot."
In a video posted over the weekend on YouTube, the band is seen in the control room as the camera pans over to Vig, who smiles and extends his middle finger. Instrumental bits of two new songs are heard in the background.
Vig is best known for his work on Nirvana's "Nevermind" but has also logged time behind the boards with Smashing Pumpkins and Sonic Youth, in addition to his musician role in Garbage. Of late, he has produced albums from Jimmy Eat World, Against Me! and Tad.
Green Day worked with producer Rob Cavallo on "American Idiot," a Grammy-winning smash that has sold 5.8 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The group reappeared this spring masquerading as the band Foxboro Hot Tubs, releasing an album and playing a handful of small club shows. The upcoming Green Day album, as-yet-untitled, is expected next year via Warner Bros.

Japanese Popping Edamame Keychain
It doesn't get much cuter than this!!! And they're only $8.99 @ ThinkGeek.com!
From ThinkGeek.com:
Each Japanese Popping Edamame Keychain has three beans. The end beans are small and immature. The middle bean, however, has one of 12 random faces printed on it. Why? We don't know, but there is nothing like the smile it puts on your face. And the beans are connected to some sort of elastic band, so they pop back in to be popped again as many times as you want. It sounds silly, but trust us, these things are highly addictive. They are also a great way to keep your fingers busy during boring meetings and your mood positive - because no one can frown when their edamame smiles.
