Hi everyone, Nichole here from Little Brown Pen.
I am beyond delighted (and thoroughly honored) to share "my hearts" with you today, but I'm a bit nervous about the shoes I'm filling. I, like you, look forward to "I Heart Mondays" every week, and I hope I'll satisfy your craving. A huge thanks to Mrs. French for extending the invitation.
A bit about me: I'm a writer, and currently the Copy Director for a European organic skin care brand, Amala. I'm also the mom of two boys, and married to a man I thank the universe for everyday. His name is Evan, and he and I run Little Brown Pen together.
I've been a blogger since the Spring of 2006 when I began my stint as the Beauty and Fashion blogger for Bravo. I currently write the blog for Amala and ramble daily at Little Brown Pen. One can safely say I love blogs, and I'm hopelessly addicted to many (Bliss chief among them).
When I am not blogging and writing, I am cooking something good, thinking about cooking something great, or fantasizing about cooking something extraordinary.
So enough about me, how about some hearts?

I heart this long scarf
I can't heart this sweater anymore than I do
I heart this skirt
I heart these boots
I heart Whimsy and Spice
I heart this green tea
I heart (and just bought!) this letterpress lovely
I heart this deer
I heart these ornaments
I heart this twine
I heart these candleholders
I heart this snowflake soap
I heart the intentions behind this
I heart these red shutters
I heart Julie Morstad's Illustrations
I heart my boys

oh, this is awesome! so glad i got to be the first to comment. that never happens. i heart it all.
i think you did a fantastic job this fine monday Nichole!!
there are a few items on here that i have been drooling over recently and are on my wishlist (happy holidays to me?!?!?) and now i have some new items to add to it!
happy monday!
all fabulous choices! i am all about that long scarf. i just bought a similar one recently and i'm in love!
mrs. french,
what a grand idea!
nichole,
nice to meet'cha. fantastic list! i too love those ornaments.
and, that last "i heart" is so sweet.
I thought this was such a good idea a
the time...now I am not so sure...I WANT EVERYTHING!!! I knew we had similar tastes..it goes beyond that, you are my shopping soul mate...sigh...
xo thank you so much!
Great post Nichol...and thank you Mrs. French for such an interesting idea. You will be happy to know I am doing something somewhat similar with my blog...a bit of a change from what's been going on for a while now....:)
Oooh ... I need those marshmallows immediately.
To the kitchen!
(And I agree - that last heart was very sweet.)
What a great idea! I love your style!
Oh,Oh! Lovely lovely picks my dear! I heart them all as well! That top, that scarf, that skirt, those boots! My heart is all aflutter! THAT DEER! Ack! I am in love.....Your boys are absolutely beautiful, all of them, and thank you so much for this beautiful I heart post! And thank you Mrs. French for introducing me to another beautiful blogger! :)

Awww what a beautiful round-up - lovely!
Love the meaning behind the I love you. That is great. I love the ornaments too.
Love the boots!
Oooh, i heart them all! Awesome, awesome picks...esp.the last one.
I'm new to mrs.french's blog...and loving it already!
The boys are beautiful!
i heart your list!!!!! i want those marshmallows.
...and your boys...darling all three!
I heart your list! I want those tops from Anthropologie!!!
beautiful photos. those boots have me drooling.
and the red shutters and 'i love you' sign - wow.
where did you find these things?
hmm.. perhaps it's better that i don't know
:)
Wow! Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, and I am so glad you liked the picks.
A few things:
1. That sweater for Anthropologie ROCKS. I bought it in three colors (and I am not usually a big spender). It is warm, stylish and the quality is fantastic. I have a feeling they will be my signature sweaters all year (I tend to wear things over and over).
2. That green tea I wrote about is THE best green tea I have ever had. It's so fragrant and flavorful and is blended with coconut and lemongrass. Delish! I discovered it at this cute little tea shop here in Montclair, and I will never go back to any other kind.
Happy shopping!
nichole
i love all of your choices, but the last one certainly is priceless and not to be taken for granted! best for last.
I'll admit that I was a bit skeptical at first. I didn't think an I heart Monday post would be the same without our Mrs. French doing the hearting. But I was pleasantly surprised. Scratch that: I'm drooling. Nichole and Mrs. French: kindred spirits and personal shoppers extraordinaire! As one who is obsessed with Fryes and Anthropologie, I'll be back!
Amy
I heart your wonderful list:))
Nichole, I'm a huge fan of your blog, so I'm not surprised that you had such a lovely selection of hearts to show us. I LOVE everything on your list.
Mrs. French, way to pick a guest blogger! She did fantastic. I always look forward to the (few) quiet minutes I have to read your blog...and I always know I'll find something wonderful here. Thanks!
the boots, the boots, the boots!!
i don't want, i need!!
also loving the skirt, the shutters, the 'i love you' sign.
The final 'I heart' warmed my heart though! Your wee boys have such cheeky faces, I'm sure they bring you so much joy.
I love your hearts! And I love all the dreamy grey colors.

nicole, never thought I could heart anything more than what mrs. french hearts, but I see she this disease is quite contagious. I heart what you heart.
mrs. french, love to show you what i heart.
I am feeling pretty cool because i have those very same frye boots (although mine don't look quite as two toned in color). Anyhow, they are lovely and I highly recommend them... Now I might some of the other stuff to match - ha!
you're boys are so sweet!
Thank you for hearting me, Nichole! And I adore your boys, especially that cute little thing on the leftmost square. He looks positively angelic!
