decorating tip #2

get cozy. it's important.

I love the delicate screenprinting on this pillow!

These rock-pillows are kind of amazing...I want twelve! They are made of felted wool.

This is a story I came across while searching for all things 'pillow'. A tremendous pillow fight in downtown Buenos Ares. You can read about it here.

...maybe our next trip should be to Argentina?

fashion week: my picks

You are right about one thing: surprisingly subdued. Even some of the models look bored (as opposed to pissed, which is how they usually look...)

of course, I loved vera. the chunky necklaces were really working for me.

reem acra is always a fav. retro flowy dresses meets futuristic metallics...

Do I love grecian sandals, or do i despise them? which...one...is...it....?

surprising barbie-inspired freshness?

you can never go wrong with oscar de la renta.
ok, now I really need to do something productive!

fashion week . . .

what do you think? with the exception of marc (by marc jacobs) everything is really subtle. and even the marc pieces have lots of neutrals with some burst of color. hmm, think i read someplace that these collections were city intellectual. i'm not quite certain how clothing can be particularly intellectual but that certainly is a description that i would like to embody.

fashion week

ah, i love fashion week.
if i ever become a curatrix this is what i'll wear . . .

decorating tip #1

find some fabulous dishes.


I know you probably have everyday dishes, but maybe some fancy china is in order? Such a big-girl event like 'your first place' definitely warrants it. I found these at trixie delicious. The name itself made me think of you with a smile.

hello lovely,
happy second week of school.

so yesterday i realized that it is in fact september. should have realized that, oh . . .9 days ago but i was unaware. along with that came the happy thought that in two weeks kristine and aaron will be starting to move out! am sooo excited to have space to myself--frisky-free space!! space to myself makes rent to myself not seem so bad . . .

anywho, i will want your long distance decorating tips in a month or so, as you are now the queen of curtains and organizational acoutrements!!
