Vintage . Home

While there are a lot of classic design elements that I love, I also like the idea of re-purposing and "storing out in the open." When I go on short trips, I use little vintage suitcases, so I'm particularly charmed by the idea of being able to display them while not in use - especially in a way that makes them doubly useful!

Neutrals . for . Spring

While spring is typically the time of year when we think of all things brightly colored, the SS 09 collections offered up an abundance of pretty little accessories in neutral hues:


Donna Karan bag; Bruno Frisoni bootie


Giambattista Valli Lace Pump; Chanel necklace


Louis Vuitton Broderie bag; Renaud Pellegrino Chain bag


Valentino Python Bag

Tag . You're . It! (15 Things)

I was tagged by the lovely Ms. Kate at Look Book and I've been sadly delinquent in holding up my end! But today is a lovely day and what better time to reply!

Five Things I Love

1. My new Converse!! And Keds!! They're so wonderful!! Thanks for helping me choose!

2. Sushi! (hopefully I'll get to have some tonight!)


3. My iPhone -- love.obsess.adore -- how did I ever get by without this?

4. SS 09 Givenchy and Dior Haute Couture. Stunning.




5. My Fiancé -- he made me coffee and french toast for breakfast! (Although I'd probably still love him even if he didn't do those things!)



Five Things I Hate

1. Cleaning.

2. Not owning my own home. I have my eye on this one:



3. My shopping addiction. Why couldn't I like something less expensive?

4. Winter -- I'm so over this season already. It's no longer pretty, it's just keeping me from wearing what I really want to!

5. Bad driving that can easily be avoided. Put the phone down. Texting + Driving = Not Good.

Five Random Things

1. I can crochet! I can only make things like scarves and blankets, but hey, it's something!

2. I started making a friendship bracelet over the weekend to see if I still remembered how.

3. Anne of Green Gables is my favorite book from when I was younger. It made me want to run away to Prince Edward Island:



4. Today is my birthday :)

5. I saw The Wrestler last night and was blown away. Darren Aronofsky was a favorite filmmaker of mine even before seeing this film. After The Wrestler he could make nothing but cereal commercials and I would still adore him. Mickey Rourke was also genius - he deserves every award he gets for this role.
