I love it when designers go the extra mile to showcase their latest work in unusual ways. Sally Scott has done just that with her 08 - 09 Autumn & Winter collection by featuring short online videos of her designs “in action.” Such a simple concept and I don’t know what made me want to […]

Oh my goodness, sorry about the glitch this afternoon. I stepped away from the blog for a few hours and returned to an empty screen. Talk about a panic attack! We had a terrible mix-up with our hosting company but rest assured that we’re fully functioning again. My apologies, dear readers. Thanks for sticking it […]

SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t watched the season premiere yet, please program your TiVo now.
And so Season 5 of Project Runway begins…

Since my husband went on a three-day golf trip, it was the perfect opportunity to have a girly weekend. And what did that mean?

These light sculptures from Tord Boontje just make me smile. They are so enchanting, delicate, and playful with layers of inspiration drawn from the forms of nature. I could imagine them as a focal piece at a hip bar, over a bed in a little girl’s bedroom, or hung low in the corner of your […]

Dear Jude just tagged me and I’m happy to oblige. I have no doubt that you will enjoy the honesty and sincerity of her heart and words on her blog, Randomly Run4istRun, just as much as I do.
Before I get started with my answers, I must admit that I always thought it was “Tag, […]

I finally watched the finale of Gossip Girl and surprisingly adored Serena’s bridesmaid dress. It’s definitely not a dress that I would consider wearing myself but it fit the role of a dramatic Gossip Girl wedding. And I wouldn’t expect anything less coming from their talented costume designers. Serena wore the Ralph Lauren ruffled fillipa […]
