I have been blogging on and off for 5 years now. Has it been that long? I can’t believe it. Anyway, my whole theme…Zen meets fun, poppy, sweet color…has been encapsulated by the candy colored buddha. Yet, in my own home, I have never owned a candy colored buddha. Until now. A couple of days ago, my dear, sweet designer friend Paige stopped by with THIS:
Hello Love. Home at last. I have been moving it around my place, searching for the perfect spot. And smiling. Just smiling. Because it so belongs here.
I just found this blog, Style On The Couch and have to tell you…it’s amazing! It’s the blog of Sarah, a British Therapist living in Manhattan. She has fab style and goes on fun trips, has the hook up to all the cool places. It’s a lot of fun. Here are a few of her suggestions…
Carine Roitfeld’s daughter Julia’s site, KIKI DE MONTPARNASSE…um…beyond. Just beyond.
REISS, British purveyors of fabulous fashions.
STRUMPET & PINK. Are we starting to see a theme here?
MICHI. Out of this world workout wear.
Beth Richards. High quality, gorgeous swimming suits.
Fleur of England. More inspiring undergarments.
And finally, something to keep our bellies full: Stone Soup Virtual Cookery School. LOVE this.
This little surprise came in the mail this wk from AT. So fun! I love getting surprises!
This year, we had Thanksgiving with my friend Sarah and her family. Sarah, besides being an incredible cook and a wonderfully creative person, has such a knack for making those around her feel wonderful. When she looked at my outfit, she said, “I love the way you always look so Mod, like you stepped right out of the 60s.”
And it’s funny…because I don’t think about myself as “Mod” at all. But, when I thought about it, she was right!
So, in honor of her comment, I thought I’d highlight a few of my fave “Mod” pieces of the moment, starting with Emerson Made…
She even calls this one a Mod Dress…
I’d probably wear it with a black t-shirt and leggings underneath but that’s just me…
And this one, she doesn’t even have out yet. Divine, right?
Loved this one from ASOS as well…
There’s nothing better than the delicious smell of a drying Pomander. Oranges. Cloves. What could be better? Yet, making them can take a good long while. Luckily, the folks at Diptypque have made it easy on us. They’ve come out with delicious Pomander candles. Yum.
We made these banana/pineapple smoothies the other day and mmm…were they good! Here’s what we put in them:
1 banana
1 cup frozen pineapple
1 tbsp. agave
1/2 cup yogurt
Delish!
