43. The third season of "Sherlock", a show I've talked about much before. It's just ended its three episode run in the United States, and has ended with just as big of a cliffhanger as our favorite consulting criminal did in "The Great Game". The cinematography is as beautiful as ever, and the plot twists are even more intense.

midweek enjoyments
So many wonderful bloggers do "Friday Favorites", and I have tried to jump on that bandwagon a few times. I find it difficult, however, to that sort of scheduled post. I love that sort of collective, though, and have decided upon a new trend: "Whenever-I-Get-Time-To-Blog-During-the-Week Favorites". And here are mine:
1. Kate Gabrielle's (of Scathingly Brilliant) society6 shop has begun to offer wall clocks, and they are absolutely gorgeous. Basically, society6 takes her lovely designs- vintage wallpapers, phases of the moon, and drawings of 1920s flappers- and puts them on everything they can think of, including iPhone cases, t-shirts, and throw pillows. They're all completely lovely, but I am definitely a fan of the clocks.
2. These shoes from Topshop are so incredibly beautiful. They are also rather pricey, and it is also very much still winter. Even so, I can't stop from looking at them every chance I get, and trying to find a cheaper version somewhere. (Even though the real things would be preferable. Perhaps they'll go on sale?)
3. Urban Outfitters has its spring floral dresses collection out already, and it is making me seriously pine for summer. January has already been cold and long, so I think that perhaps we should all just skip February and March and move straight to sundresses.
4. The third season of "Sherlock", the raved about BBC show, is airing in the United States. The second episode (of a three-episode season) aired on Sunday. It was absolutely wonderful- just like all of the other "Sherlock" episodes. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman already have a dedicated following, but I simply had to throw in my two cents for this one.
5. Frozen, the latest Disney animated release, is just as amazing as everyone is saying it is. At first, I was skeptical. That, however, changed as soon as I heard Idina Menzel (of Broadway and Hollywood fame) was going to be starring in the feature. The music is amazing, the dialogue is funny, and Frozen is a lovely movie whatever your age may be.

Once Upon a Television Program
Another list of lovelies is here for my darling readers, this time of television programs. Please enjoy!
1. Sherlock
Written by Doctor Who's Steven Moffat, this BBC modern-day remake is a six-episode must see. Starring Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and Benedict Cumberpatch (Star Trek, Amazing Grace), Sherlock is based off actual Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories.
2. Downton Abbey
This BBC drama features Maggie Smith and Dan Stevens, revolving around a wealthy British family dealing with the changes that occur from pre-WWI to the war itself to the Roaring Twenties. It contains drama, love, heartbreak, and treachery- a must-see.
3. HGTV Star
This Home and Garden reality show premiers each summer hosted by Color Splash's David Bromsted. It's first episode aired two weeks ago. Formerly Design Star, the show brings in ten promising designers and puts their skills to the test.
4. Elementary
It's the American Sherlock, with Holmes a recovering addict and Watson (Lucy Liu) his sober companion. Located in New York, Sherlock assists the NYPD, takes revenge for his murdered lover, and battles his nemesis, Moriarty.
5. The Mentalist
A different sort of cop show, in which former fake-psychic Patrick Jane had resumed consulting work with the CBI. He assists in- and always solves- homicide cases, all the while obsessing over serial killer Red John, who killed his wife and daughter.
6. Call the Midwife
Call the Midwife is a new BBC program, it's second season coming out in a few weeks. It shows the life of midwife Jenny Lee, who works along midwives and nuns in the 1950's East End of London. She deals with poverty, danger, and love. The series is based off of an actual midwife's diaries.
