it's on my list...

The lettuce we planted when we first moved in has bolted and flowered and on it's way out the door. Time for some winter veggies, turnips, eggplants, kale, swiss chard.....I can't wait to get planting!!!! It's going to be so yummy : )

Ohhhh Giovanna Battaglia....I love you *almost* as much as Nina (see here and here). Eyi yei, she is insanely fabulous....L'Uomo's Vogue editor is inspiring in her fashion sense and general confidence. Love love.....

let me grab my glasses....

I don't have any vision dis-abilities...but that in now way means that I don't love myself a pair of fantastically nerdy reading glasses. They don't get too much better than these....ahh...tortoise, chunky framed delights. Lovely.....

to credenza...or not to credenza??

sooooo.....we've got a bit more space in our new place than we've had before...and there is definitely room for a lovely credenza (sideboard...what's the difference really?)....there are oh so many that I love, but this one from Crate and Barrel grabs me for it's modern and slightly deco pairing of walnut and white. Now comes the question, am I wanting a credenza because it would be handy and useful in our space....or do I simply just 'want' this credenza? hrm........who knows?
Happy Weekend lovelies ;-)

the ever-continuing bag debate!!

{Jcrew Ryder satchel}


{B. Makowsky tote}
{Clare Vivier messenger bag}

Well...I still haven't gotten a bag....apparently I am indecisive, and with all the different shapes, colors, textures and styles it's near impossible to settle on something. The past few bags I've had have been hobo style...and I think that I am 'over it'...wanting something a stitch more structured.....or interesting...or something. See what I mean...indecisive.

Ahh....help please. (( I am leaning towards the Jcrew Ryder satchel...but now...what color!?!))

reasons i love fall

It has been rainy and windy (and absolutely delightful) here on the CC for the past two days...and I couldn't be happier about it : ) Here are some nonsensical reasons I love fall ::
1. the changing of the leaves...just so so beautiful to peak down a street lined with orange, red and yellow leaves...
2. that tell tale warm breeze that blows around in the air
3. the 'pumpkin spice' lattes that magically appear at the coffee houses.
4. that urge to stay inside and bundle up...instead of doing all those 'necessary' things...like going to work...or running errands (argh....)
5. layering---i love love love my scarves, jackets, boots and hats...and seriously wait all year to put them on again for fall and winter..
6. having a fire---there is nothing better than a glass of wine, good company and sitting in front of a crackling fire when it's cold outside! (sub. wine for cocoa...or whatever...it's all yummy anyway).
I'm sure there are so many more..but here's a few of my favorites : )
Happy Fall
