Japan countdown

Less than a week. Spotted this card on The Scoop. Dreaming of sushi just about sums it up!

via Fomato. They have some other really cute cards too. check it out!

Put me on the next boat outta here...

I opened my Daily Candy this morning and to my delight I found these adorable Steamline luggage pieces. My favorite is the editor series. The yellow and pink you see above (also available in chocolate).

My two trusty pieces of roll-on brilliance are quickly losing their steam... so maybe this is an option? I like that they are on wheels... but I am wondering how the linen will hold up.

What do you think?

wishing for really warm weather

I found this picture my dad took last summer. Makes me long for warmer days.

Have a great weekend!!!

laptop pillow

This is pretty cool. It allows the heat of the laptop to circulate and from keeping your lap too hot.

Diana

Ben got me the most awesome v-day present EVER!! A Diana camera... and just in time for my Japan trip too!

I have been wanting one of these for years and can't wait to take it out and play with it.

Check out its capabilities here.

Thanks b!

Wearstler-ific

I have been to the tiny (and I mean the boutique is the size of my cubicle) Kelly Wearstler shop in Bergdorf's a few times.

In my opinion, and I have gone up there 3-4 times over a span of a year, it has not changed much. The most notable thing I saw this time were the spectacular boxes with the gems and precious rocks on it.

Although I am not impressed with the change of the shop, It still is fantasic, and fun to go in. It just has a groovy vibe about it.

on a happy note:

Check out these gorgeous windows I saw at ABC while in NY last week. They have a very ethereal yet funky chic quality... no?

This is pretty much the only time I got out and saw something cool.

Sad Day!

Domino is closing. via Mediaweek. It sucked to have Blueprint gone... but really? Domino?

Micheal Smith and his dream job.

Michael Smith has been dubbed the white house decorator. Although he isn't my normal taste, It oozes with what I picture East Coast style being. It makes me long for a laid back weekend at the Greenbrier and horseback riding, tea at my aunts in the woods or hanging out with my uber preppy outfit with my friends.

We all deserve to escape right? I think he will do well in the White House, you can follow the Micheal Smith saga at Domino.

spotted.

The lovely Heather sent me the link to find the faceted table. The Meteor table by Arik Levy. so cool. And the site she found it on is pretty cool design too. Thanks Heather!!

yay! new bike

Thanks to Ben's very gracious family I cured my cycle obsession! It's pretty rad. It was later in the day when I got it so we had just enough time to strap on the back pack and ride over to the grocery store to pick up a few last minute items for dinner. Now I just need that basket I wanted and I will be on my way to European lifestyle bliss.

Jos~ I'm ready for those sunday bike rides!

help!

anyone know where to get this groovy little faceted occasional table? spotted at the Downtown Standard LA.

Oh and happy friday! i hope your weekend involves less work than mine!

new year... new you??

I have put a lot of thoughts into the new years resolution. Although i think that it is a great time to start over and set some goals, I also think that it may be a load of BS. so here are my top 5 resolutions.... give or take some seriousness:

1. create something i am really proud of
2. experience something i have never even imagined
3. meet someone that changes my life.
4. go to a place i have never been
5. have a good night when the unexpected happens

it is all very vague... and to be honest in 2009 i like it that way. I'll let you know what happens.

Happy NEW YEAR!

WOW! indeed... we have been MIA. I have been traveling like crazy, home to NC and Atlanta which I am back to tomorrow. So in light of a new year, lets not stay away for so long ok?

I would like to make an introduction though. Ben and I created a blog starting today. The gyst is that we want to utilize our iPhones camera, and show our perspectives.

So I introduce: BE combined. check it out.
Happy New Year. yay 2009... I'm ready for a Change. This year is gonna be good.

another obsession

1. it's called snuggalicious
2. it looked really good on when i tried it on in Chicago.
3. it is versatile as a regular wrap or the collar wraps around high for a more chic look.

check it out.... Kania.

something about these makes me smile

Joslyn posted these mushrooms from Roost on her favorites a couple days ago.
Not only are they soooo beautiful and would look lovely clumped up together, but I have been on a serious mushroom kick... besides the mushroom dabacle of monday night. Wise phrase to live by: do not mix 2 bottles of wine with mushrooms makes a nasty dish.

But in the meantime, check out the roost mushrooms.

happy birthday, ekd :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ERIN!
