Traditional apartment.

4 Comments Posted by on February 17, 2010

I usually pass by Traditional Home on the newsstands, it tends to be a bit too formal for my low-budget, apartment-friendly tastes. I bought it recently though after seeing a sneak peek online of something right up my alley, a tiny studio apartment … on a budget! The apartment featured is Lauren McGrath’s, who the [...]

Door knobs and weddings and contests.

3 Comments Posted by on February 16, 2010

I went over the long weekend to place an order for my first of what I’m sure will be many bridesmaid dresses, and now I have weddings on the mind. I can never justify spending a ton of money on flowers, and with the giant costs of weddings these days, it just seems crazy to [...]

Head over heels.

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 16, 2010

It was hard for me to focus at work all day, knowing that coverage of NY Fashion Week was being updated by the second on all of my favorite fashion sites. It took a LOT of will-power not to scroll through all of the slide shows. I did take a peek over the weekend though [...]

Spring ahead.

3 Comments Posted by on February 15, 2010

I neeeeed for it to be spring. No, I’m not sick of the cold weather. I’m just craving spring fashion and turning in my blacks and navys for some bright warm colors. I got a killer deal on a Kate Spade tote bag this weekend at the outlets… we’re talking 80% off. But I have [...]

Eiffel embroidery.

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 13, 2010

I have a little thing for Eiffel Tower paraphernalia. I have a lamp in my living room, prints above my fireplace, and even framed wrapping paper in my bathroom. Add that to my tendency towards impractical pillows with adornments that make them virtually useless for their snuggly purposes, and I’m naturally inclined to obsess over this pillow: I’m [...]

Back on the runway 5.

2 Comments Posted by on February 12, 2010

Oh thank the heavens, the TV IS FIXED! Just in time for  my Project Runway recap! PHEW. I know you were all worried. For starters, I’m freakin happy as a clam that Anthony won. He’s one of those contestants that’s just beyond likable — but you know will never be able to shed his beauty pageant [...]

Valentines Day treat.

2 Comments Posted by on February 11, 2010

I have such a good mom. She just sent me an adorable Valentines Day package with some pink socks and little lavender sachets that she made herself! Such a smart idea: They’re basically just mini-pillows stuffed with dried lavender. I’m hanging them in my closet right away. And the paper she wrapped them in? Almost [...]

Shopping from the couch.

3 Comments Posted by on February 11, 2010

For a brief period of time, the Cablevision blocked out Food Network and HGTV while they worked through a dispute over contracts. When this happened, my mother was almost catatonic. So destroyed by the lack of Giada and Property Virgins, that she admitted to me recently she’d started to watch the Home Shopping Network. I [...]

Apartment dweller walls.

I just finished clicking my way through Lonny issue #3, and I for one am freaking jealous of that Michelle Adams. She has the coolest job ever. Maybe coolest life ever. Michelle, if you need any lowly assistants up in Boston, you just go ahead and give me a call! I love that they feature [...]

Life without TV, Day 2.

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 10, 2010

Day 2 without TV left me with another night of lusting for Bravo reality trash. I managed to zoom through the first quarter of Elizabeth Gilbert’s new book Committed, and broke out the label maker to label the back of all of my magnetic spice containers. I definitely appreciate the words of wisdom from my [...]
