Pick Me a Winner

My best friend from college, Jenny, is home in CT for the long holiday weekend. Her boyfriend Tony is the sweetest guy ever. Listen to this: He is staying at his friend Steve's house for the night. In preparation for her arrival, the two of them are baking Jenny's mother pies, PIES for Thanksgiving! How freaking adorable is that? What guy do you know that would do something like that? Not many, I can tell you that much.

Now, herein lies my question. How come you have to live in LA in order to meet a great guy in NYC? I swear it is damn near impossible....maybe it's because all the girls in LA are sweeping them up! Or could it be that there are just none left? God, I hope not. This just may have reaffirmed my desire to move to California.


Am I wrong?

Fall in NYC: Bryant Park

Rugby 101

No, I do not play Rugby, but I did used to work for Ralph Lauren Rugby. A few years back I dragged the employees of Rugby in New Canaan to Waveny Park to do a photo shoot. Some were thrilled (Kevin), and others are still convinced they were born to be models (Preston).

Below are some of my favorites from the shoot.















Let me know what you think!

Iomoi

I recently came across this website, thanks to www.Luckymag.com, that I am totally and completely obsessed with. www.iomoi.com has the cutest personalized items for everything from stationery to pillows. There are so many different designs to choose from for each item that I cannot simply pick one. I have been looking at this website for days now and I seriously want everything.

I have become obsessed with decorating my new apartment and I am always looking for new odds and ends to fill it with. I am loving their lucite trays to put on top of my coffee table, which is actually a vintage trunk, but i cannot chose which one i like best. They are all so adorable! http://iomoi.stores.yahoo.net/trays.html

I am also loving their canvas pillows! I am totally digging the pink skull and the ling. They would look perfect on my tan couch. http://iomoi.stores.yahoo.net/section-05.html

They also have tons of great gift ideas for the holidays!

Are you as obsessed as I am?

Bonjour!

Ok, no I am not French (unfortunately), but I am preparing for our "annual" new years trip to St. Barth's, French West Indies. In order to prepare I have been trying to freshen up on my french (which, by the way, I took in school from 5th grade-10th grade). One would think that I would at least remember the most basic grammar and words, but lo and behold my memory has failed me yet again. I am currently listening to Hotel Costes, "Summer in Paris" for inspiration, but it is just making me want to actually summer in Paris (go figure!).

So, I totally scored this fabulous straw Panama hat off the giveaway table at work, which happens to be just what I was in the market for. I keep wearing it around my apartment, with my new found beachy wavy hair, almost impossible for us curly haired folk, but thanks to the Brazilian straightening (my savior) I now have that almost perfect, but messed up in just the right way, I didn't actually spend any time on my hair, this is just how I wake up every morning hair. Anyway, I am so excited to wear it on the beach that I am actually walking around my apartment pretending I am on Saline beach with actual beach hair (34 days!) God, my roommate probably thinks I am nuts. Clearly I need a vacation.....

This year I am going to go for a total Brigitte Bardot french beach look, you know, being on a french speaking island and all it seems only appropriate.

Here are some of my Brigitte Bardot style inspirations:

Next up... the gym!!

Au Revoir!
