Happy Eating

Time for a little holiday break. Although the holidays can be full of travel and traffic, they can also be full of family and food. So I'm hoping to really focus on the fact that we can all come together--traffic and all--to celebrate and give thanks. May your Thanksgiving be full of good times and much too much food. Here's to happy eating!

Quiet City

The city is slowly getting more and more quiet... which I'm sure will soon be changed by the upcoming holidays. But for now, it's certainly a welcome calm.

Bake Away...

Feeling under the weather? (Answer for me: yes). The best thing to do is bake the day away. Pick something easy so you can sit back, relax, and smell the fruits of your (not too tough) labor.

Rise and Shine

Oh, how much better my day is when it starts with a leisurely (and pretty!) breakfast. It can be simple--as this one certainly is--but there is nothing wrong with simple pleasures.

Happy Colors

Here's what I'm loving right now: my new Vivienne Tam dress that is absolutely, positively bursting with colors. (And even better, it is absolutely, positively NOT breaking the bank since I snagged it at an outrageous sample sale!). It seems more like a canvas that is covered with bold paints than a simple silk dress...thus why I like it so much. I hung it up on my living room wall merely to take some photos of it, but I'll be leaving it up until I wear it. I know, I know--it's just a dress, but it comes across as a work of art! 

Have a colorful weekend!

Catching Up

I've been a bit behind on my blog this week due to an increasingly busy schedule. So today, I'm adding a couple extra posts to make up for the idle blogtivity (...blog activity=blogtivity...perhaps?). 

These are undoubtedly some of my favorite items. They happen to include an overflowing cup of Starbucks, a trusty notebook, and the new Domino Book of Decorating. The first item keeps me going for hours; the other items keep me entertained for hours. A perfect combination!

Abstract Expressionism

Pollock. Just watched the movie tonight. Ed Harris does a phenomenal job of portraying the turbulent life of artist Jackson Pollock. As I revisit this photo I took last spring, all I want to do is clear my calendar, head to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and spend the ENTIRE day sitting in front of this painting.

Natural Elements

One of my favorite aspects of my prewar apartment? Undoubtedly the red brick wall. It is aged; it is cracked; it is dusty; it is perfect. There is something about each unintentional detail that adds character to the entire room. Yet I can't help but pair it with something fresh, something new, something natural. And so I love this framed coral piece resting nonchalantly against the towering bricks. Old, meet New--I think you two will get along splendidly...
