The first day of the weekend

August 12, 2010August 12, 20105 Comments

Hello there. Doesn’t Thursday always feel like the beginning of the weekend? No matter how much you must accomplish before Friday evening, when it officially commences? It’s always a wash of relief to wake up and know it’s Thursday. There are four full days before Monday comes round again.

This weekend is particularly exciting for me because Saturday is my birthday. It’s always lovely when your birthday falls on the weekend, particularly Saturday. You can compel your friends and loved ones to celebrate Thurs. night straight through Sunday morning. That’s what I plan to do…per usual. I still get very excited about birthdays. What’s not to love about an occasion to celebrate, where everyone you care about feels obliged to make you feel special?

Fortunately, I already feel special. Hope you do too…on your birthday and always.

Lovely Lonny

New Lonny is out! Ahhh…just in time for me to decorate my house! The move-in has been pushed back because my landlord has offered to paint the whole house. I readily agreed. It NEEDED IT. Some inspiration from Lonny a la Elements of Style:

I’ll share some of my faves later.

Parisian Chic

Today is one of “those” days. The ones that make you want to drop everything and fly to Paris to sit in a cafe, hide behind your sunglasses and escape.

Violently Crushing on Violet

July 30, 20102 Comments

Violet is such a lovely hue and it doesn’t get the credit it deserves. It’s not a shade that depends on a season. In the summer it looks glamorous with crisp whites or soft and serene when mixed with taupe. In the winter, it brightens a room and can feel romantic when paired with smoky gray or dark plum. The color of grapes, lilacs, lavender, amethyst and of course violets…it’s a very beautiful anecdote when feeling blue.
