bits and pieces of annemarie.

.
For the next little while I’ll be taking some time to showcase bits and pieces of some of my very favourite bloggers; the ones that I visit daily, without question. These girls are talented beyond belief and I love the idea of sharing a bit about them with the rest of you. Without further ado, here is:

I remember the very first time I stumbled upon Annemaries blog, Brunch at Saks, as it wasn’t all that long ago. I was led there by a random link on twitter that I felt inclined to click on for whatever reason. I was immediately transported to a place of grace, of class, of pretty things beyond your imagination. Annemarie blogs about anything and everything lovely, from interiors, to fashion, to recipes and beyond. Her personality shines through with a poise and elegance that is refreshing to find these days. It’s definitely a blog that you don’t want to miss and I’m so excited to have her participating in this series.

And here are some bits and pieces of Annemarie:
A random fact::
I started writing television scripts for my local public access TV station when I was 17.

If it’s just me and my boyfriend then I’d say tacos.  If we have guests then roasted chicken, veggies, and risotto.

My Blackberry (sadly)

Currently coveting::

Your daily reads::
I’m a news junkie, so I constantly read CNN, and other up-to-date news sites. I also love a ton of blogs. I try really hard to get through my Google reader everyday, but it’s nearly impossible! At night I always read my Kindle before bed. I’m currently reading Bella Tuscany by Frances Mayes and loving it.

Adele’s 21 (the whole album is good!)

Success is measured by one’s ability to adapt to plan B in life.
