Hanger Chair

Taking into account that I've had 2 ugly folding chairs leaning against my kitchen wall since Christmas - I think this is freaking brilliant. It always feels like such a pain to store chairs. These would be perfect for our coat closet....

Walls Notebook

I love my fair share of street art - and I have to say I'm pretty pumped about this concept. The walls notebook encourages you to create your own street art on walls and objects alike.

Daily Dishonesty

When designer Lauren Hom lies to herself, she does it in style. Follow her blog daily dishonesty to keep up with her beautiful hand-lettered fibs. What a funny concept!

Frigid Friday

The weather in NY this week has been depressingly cold. But, even though its 20 degrees, it's Friday - and that makes me happy. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Stay warm!!

Art & Design: Logo Collection

To prepare for a website redesign I'm working on - I've been scouring the internet for design inspiration and in turn pinning up a damn storm. So far I've found some really great work, including the collection of logos shown here.

Over the next few weeks I plan on sharing more work from my art and design board - similar to what I did with my dreamy decor board. Or, follow me and stay ahead of the curve.

Throw Some Eyes On It

Post christmas amusement - brought to you by D*face.

I've realized that street art involving googly eyes never gets old, or less amazing. (Remember this?)

Mm Hmm

This reminds me that I have some personal projects to tend to. Must - make - time.

Three!

Today is our three year anniversary!

This picture was taken from my Uncle's wedding when we were just a few months into the relationship. Looking back, it's crazy to think about how much has happened since then - an apartment, a dog, vacations, career moves - jeez. It's hard to sum up how amazing Mike is and how grateful I am to have him in my life in just one blog post. So, I'll let Joe Esposito do the talking...



Love you so much Mike, Happy Anniversary! xoxo

Tales from the Holidays

This Christmas season was, without a doubt, one of the best yet. Despite a severely annoying cold (that I'm still battling) we managed to take the pup for some nature walks, trim the tree to perfection and host Christmas dinner.

Here's a few shots, including Christmas morning...

Benny has a lot of energy due to his Jack Russel-ness. So, to tire him out, we go for nature walks through the park trails and let him run around in the fields. He has an infatuation for eating sticks and once he gets hold of one there's no letting go.

Christmas morning was a little hectic since we were preparing to host dinner for Mike's family. But, we got it all done before sitting down for a sweet gift session. Benny got a new ball (among other things), while I received a beautiful necklace and some sweet kicks. Mike was really happy with all of his presents too, which ranged from techy to musical.

I'm just happy I got to spend the holiday with the people I love and it seriously couldn't have been better. Until next year...

Hope you all had a lovely holiday, however you celebrate. xo

[ Updates: ]

- The blanket Ben is laying on the couch was actually knitted for us by my incredibly talented Aunt in what I can only imagine was a week long knitting extravaganza. Thanks again Megan and Brian!

- I didn't get a chance to snap any photos from Christmas eve, which we spent with my family on Staten Island, but I made out like a Christmas bandit!! Thanks again to my family for all their amazing gifts and wonderful company!

A Very Brooklyn Gingerbread Brownstone

This - is - impressive.

Renee, the creator, admits to having attended both architecture school and pastry school -- so keep that in mind as you flash back to your own gingerbread houses of Christmas' past. And, if you're feeling especially ambitious, you can give this bad boy a try by following Renee's detailed instructions.

Happy Holidays! xo
