Skinny Jeans


For toddlers? Yes. Did I shell out the $35.00 from Gap? Yes I did. I picture my Gigi off to her first week of pre-school with these and some ballet flats. Please no tears.


Happy Friday!

I'd be Happy


with this look from J Crew for this Fall. Gigi is heading to pre-school for two days a week. I'm guessing I'll be sobbing the first week or two. At least we are heading to the beach for a week. I'm thinking thick black tights, ankle length boots, black trousers, and skinny belts all have to be in this year's repertoire. And of course this yellow coat and some men's ties. You?

I Seriously Cannot Wait




For Flipping Out Season Three. Are you tuning in? Jeff, Jenni, Ryan, Zoila. And Monkey of course. I'm so happy and my Tivo is set for the only show I feel like watching.

There Is Something


About a simple drape tied back ever so perfectly with a stunning drapery fixture, no? This one comes from designer Ryan Korban and image is from This Is Glamorous blog.

Thank You!


To Alison at My Little Happy Place, for this amazing post on three creative designers with myself included! Alison herself is multi-talented when it comes design and pretty much everything else she does. This gorgeous mom is living in Brazil with her family, adding creative flair to everything she touches. I'm hooked!

I know


I've been absent. This summer is kind of kicking my butt. The economy lent itself to a nice, quiet pregnancy. So work has picked up and now our new addition James is a handful on his own. Don't get me wrong, happy to BE working. But I'd love to soak up the last little bit of summer. Not sure its going to happen. I'm looking forward to dinner I'm hosting at my house. I hope its warm enough that we can sit out at a table like this. I love those candelabras!
