The soul of the home.

3 Comments Posted by on September 30, 2009

Betty Draper lived up to the Draper name and redesigned her living room on Mad Men this week. And despite the advise of her interior designer she propped an oversized fainting sofa right in front of the “soul of the home.” While I don’t agree with her furniture choice, I’m not appalled by blocking the [...]

The skirt that needs me.

Leave a Comment Posted by on September 30, 2009

This skirt – it needs me.  Color, yes. Shape, wow. Fabric, yum. Katie Cassidy, let’s be honest, you’ve been photographed in it and probably won’t wear it again. Do a good deed and send it my way?

A festive milestone.

5 Comments Posted by on September 29, 2009

It’s time to celebrate, this is my 100th post! Just eight short months ago I started DomestiKatedLife and let me tell you, it’s getting more fun with each click of the ‘publish’ button. So I thought for the big 100 I’d share some eChampagne and decorate with tissue pom-poms. I adore the Martha Stewart pom-pom [...]

It’s all about the shoes.

I started my weekend a little early last night and went out with my girlfriend Colleen for a Hello Stiletto fashion show to kick off Boston Fashion Week (and have a few free cocktails). We had a ball; I had to try hard not to drool on the runway as they models strutted their stuff in some [...]

Seeing Red.

Check out the yummy burgundy alligator console that’s featured on One Kings Lane today. I’m not usually a fan of the red family, but I think I’m a convert when any color is featured in that rich alligator texture!

The Wearstler.

3 Comments Posted by on September 23, 2009

I don’t know what it is about Kelly Wearstler, it’s a constant love/hate relationship. Sometimes I love her, sometimes I hate her, and my feelings can literally change from room to room designed by her, from article to article written about her. In the New Yorker’s style issue she came off as self absorbed and [...]

Styling match.

Leave a Comment Posted by on September 23, 2009

I’ve finally had some time to really delve into the Ikea 2010 catalog, after it sat, staring me in the face on my coffee table for the past two weeks, begging for attention. While the selection of new products didn’t turn on any light bulbs over my head, I was impressed by the styling. Several of [...]

Excessories.

I’m being good about my budget and not replenishing my fall wardrobe in my usual mode. Instead I’ve been trying to try new things with the wardrobe I currently have and updating pieces with jewelry, scarves, and belts. After popping into Anthropologie this weekend while shopping in New York with some girlfriends, I’ve made the [...]

Bad advice.

7 Comments Posted by on September 22, 2009

Ok, this is off topic… but I just had to get this off my chest…. Cosmopolitan Magazine, have you gone bat-sh*t crazy? My jaw drops at their latest attempt at guiding America’s young women by giving them advice like ‘tie your hair back with a thong, dudes dig it.’  If you have read this, and [...]

Sugar and spice and everything nice.

Do you ever see someone with a great outfit on and wonder, what does her apartment look like? Well I was pretty excited for this reason when my friend Lis posted pictures of her new apartment online, because I’ve been a big fan of her personal style and was dying to see how it would translate in [...]
