Hermes orange.

1 Comment Posted by on September 17, 2009

Email may not have as much character as hand written letters, but one of its niceties is that it often comes packed with inspiring images… Jonathan Adler’s company email landed in my inbox yesterday and was glowing with orange treats: The touches of orange Hermes boxes are always rich accents in luxurious homes… and while I’d [...]

On the runway.

Well, Nina Garcia, Michael Kors and Heidi Klum all have good taste. No kidding, right? They seriously picked a winner with Leanne Marshall. I’m drooling over the dresses from her 2010  collection showed at New York Fashion Week. Perfection. The girl knows how to cut a cocktail dress. I’m so impressed by the balance of [...]

I’m not sure which idea I’m more jealous that I didn’t think of first: Mobile cupcakery? Or calling it CupKates?

I’m cranky that I’m at work and not heading back to school with a crisp new package of loose-leaf paper in my Lisa Frank trapper keeper.

Canadian Treasures.

I love three-day-weekends. I think we need more of them, no? I spent my mine visiting Niagara Falls, which was a blast. What was the best part of the trip? Massive force of nature? No. Kitschy boat rides under the waterfalls? No. Stocking up on Canadian home decorating magazines? YES. Sure, the waterfalls were impressive [...]

Sticky ideas.

I was impressed by this surprising DIY inspiration in In Style magazine… using metallic tape to frame out some faux architectural detail on a wall. I’m not sure if I would start taping out designs on my walls, but it could look cute wrapped around the base of a lamp shade, or even applied to some [...]

Things I’m Excited About.

1 Comment Posted by on September 2, 2009

Things I’m currently very excited about: I found a new (old) couch on craigslist. It popped up on Apartment Therapy’s scavenger, which I sometimes browse because they take out some of the hassle of thumbing through thousands of uglies before you find your gem. The couch is an older version of Crate and Barrel’s Cameron sofa and [...]
