The great table hunt.

2 Comments Posted by on January 31, 2010

I spent the greater part of this weekend searching for end tables for my living room, and the hunt was incredibly unsuccessful! Everything I found was either way too low and modern, or way to big and bulky.  Two TJ Maxxs, HomeGoods, Pier1, West Elm, and I came home empty-handed. Well, almost empty-handed… I did [...]

Back on the runway 3

There are a few simple rules that Project Runway contestants need to remember for the “pairs” challenges, and they never seem to learn, season after season… #1 – If you look at the ground and avoid eye-contact, you WILL get picked by the crazy person no one wants to work with. Sorry Jesse, but that’s [...]

Typewriter tales.

After my Thank You note post yesterday, one of my girlfriends, Audra, told me she writes her notes on her vintage typewriter which types in cursive. I almost fell out of my chair, and then pulled myself back up to open a new window on the computer to type in “eBay typewriter cursive.” In addition [...]

Please and thank you.

At what age does your mom stop calling you and reminding you to write Thank You notes for your birthday presents? I’ll give you a hint, it’s not 25. I have all the best intentions to write them; I saved all the birthday cards as reminders; I set out a stack of envelopes to inspire [...]

Gleeful gown.

Some people gear up for the Super Bowl, I gear up for awards season. I didn’t get a chance to watch the SAG awards this weekend, but I did delight in scanning through all of the red carpet galleries. Miss Lea Michele from Glee knocked it out of the park again, this color is delectable!

Some SoHo things.

I just got back from a very fun, impromptu weekend getaway in NY, and need to share two things: 1. TopShop is amazing, and I cross my fingers they’ll expand their stores beyond their NY store. I fell in love with this bag, and am having major remorse for not having bought it; my frugal-thinking [...]

Back on the runway 2.

I hoping that episode 2 would have the pizazz of the first seasons, and while they did give the contestants a great challenge, and in my opinion picked a well-deserving winner, the judgement of the panel seems to still be a little clouded from all that LA sunshine. Jay’s dress was pretty, flattering, unique, well [...]

The glitz. The glamour.

I’m happy to turn off the TV after the red carpet clears and Ryan Seacrest calls it a night. The real awards for me start the next day when all of the dresses are posted online and we can start a judgefest — best dressed? worst dressed? Prom dress on steroids? I think the overall [...]

Bravo’s trying to make a come back in my book, first they announced Kell on Earth, and now I’m hearing whispers of a new design show, 9 x Design. The show is going to follow Robert and Cortney Novogratz and their seven children, who are living in New York living and working on their design and rehab business, renovating spaces into multimillion-dollar luxury [...]

Clean up your act.

You know what’s not fun? Cleaning. You know what is fun? This dustpan from Target’s Red Hot Shop. In my hunt for the Clarevivier clutch the other day, I stumbled on this set. I don’t actually plan on buying it, because I don’t care much for cleaning, but it  goes to show you, even crappy [...]
