What's For Dinner?

I've discovered THE dining room furniture for us and our new home.. in the future. If only raisins were served, I would savor and dine on them elegantly with super long forks (that's my thing, can't eat with a short fork but I'll save that neurosis for later) with this fabulous, our name written ALL over it, dining room furniture.

Behold!




Where have I been? Why had I never seen such decadent dining? Possibly because when I go to Neiman Marcus' website, I only gaze at the wearable finery.. never venturing to the Home section. This is where I got my first taste of the beautiful banquette...


So cozy and chic! I can totally see this in the "morning room" with tasty breakfast vittles.


I'm over the moon with this color combo. Love purple and grey together!


Soooo cute!

Now, if only we could put our new dining room set in our new house. *enter dream sequence*



I look at "our home" everyday, isn't she DY-NO-MITE!!?? For now, it's ours in my mind.. but alas, isn't that where any manifestation starts?

I Heart Ruthie

Ruthie Davis, that is. Feast your eyes on this fabulous shoe goodness!






Davis by Ruthie Davis


I can't decide which style I like best. You can never go wrong with a black shoe but those pink and purple ones are just the punctuation needed for a black or gray ensemble.

The wise words of a fellow shoe obsessed friend beckons, "When in doubt, buy both!"

Maybe A Baby?

Hi Darlings! Shame, shame on me for not writing for the past few weeks. My excuse is good though, I'm a newly wed, enjoying my newlywed-ness!

Sooooo you're probably wondering about that dubious title, huh? Well, we are not procreating at this point, just having fun with the recreational side of thangs. But we are considering a fur baby or two. My husband and I have always loved and had dogs and we're thinking we want to add one to our family. So I'm thinking of surprising him with one of these:

Isn't he just DARLING?? I'm currently looking at loving breeders to give one or two of these little balls of love, a home.

Fall Finds

The weather is already getting nippy, which means it's time to pull out your fall/winter collections from the closet. I had been adding to my wardrobe all summer with a few pieces here and there and wanted to share my favs from the lot... which I'm sure will be in heavy rotation.



Cocoon Coat - I LOVE this coat.. it's so chic. I love the collar, the bracelet sleeves and the length, the color and the shape.. I guess that's about everything.. lol. I can't wait to rock it!



The Scarf Coat - I love the unusualness of this coat. More than likely I would bunch up the scarf "collar" a bit so it looks so much more edgy.




Tuxedo Jumpsuit - I'm usually not a fan of the jumpsuit but this one beckons. It's kinda hot.




Structured Shoulders - This is for my "Sasha Fierce" moments.

All Finds

Love At First Sight - Again

The first time we saw each other on our wedding day... Here is a snippet video taken by my sister.. her camera is so nifty.

Just Starting To Get Feeling In My Toes

Remember the Pucci shoes I've swooned over and finally purchased, then decided it would be the inspiration for our wedding decor?? Well, as fab as those shoes were, they were a excruciating to wear for the better part of a long wedding day. Wearing 4" peeptoes is a feat all it's own but couple that with adding a good 15 to 20lbs of wedding gown and traipsing all over NY and you have a recipe for numb toes. Yup, my toes are STILL numb, somewhat and it's been..what.. a week and two days. I wonder what WebMD has to say about that.

Anywhoo.. here's a fun pic of them in action. Kinda..



Here we are at the first stop, the carousel at Bryant Park. We were allowed to ride for free, which was so sweet and it made me giddy. I look like I'm about to fall and smiling ENTIRELY too hard.. but what can I say..I was a happy, happy bride to be.

When I look at the heel in this picture I wonder how I walked in them practically all day... without it being a platform?? I mean I could run a marathon in a platform shoe. But alas, what we women do for fabulousness.
