new website

In an attempt to make my life easier, I've merged the two. You can now view blog updates here:

Chalk Board Wall

We painted and managed to not get any of it on ourselves, our floor or the dog.

Meet Mini

I will come up with a better name for her soon. Some possibilities are Marlon and Minnow.

I got one of these!

Atlanta

Gucci Shoes

I have worn these almost every day.


But now I think I also want them in brown. Too much?

Manaos II

Four sets of some much needed flatware from Crate and Barrell. No more college hand-me-downs from ten different roommates. I can now eat pasta with a little class.

Christian Louboutin

Corporate girl needs a new pair of shoes. So since I am on a bag moratorium, I decided to get the best. Afterall, every girl needs a basic black pump.

So Long Summer

The pool at Piedmont Park

View from the lounge chair

Another view from the lounge chair looking at the lake

After the kids went back to school, the pool was practically empty

This is where I spent the majority of summer-the Piedmont Park pool and the dog park. I will miss my time off. Hello work force.

The Sartorialist

I just got myself a new copy of the limited edition (2000 copies, numbered with his signature-I have 1717) "The Sartorialist" by Scott Schuman. His blog is one of my favorites and the book (with a Borders 40% off coupon, of course) was worth every penny.

Desserts

I did my first food photo shoot today. All I can say, is that I get to eat them all now!

Alexander Girard

Wall art from Urban Outfitters. I just bought this one:


I want this one too:

Considering Oxfords

J.Crew

Frye at urbanoutfitters.com

Steve Madden at endless.com


I believe one of these will be my fall go-to shoe. I just need to decide which one. Of course, the J.Crew one is the most expensive but I'm considering the ones from Frye at Urban Outfitters.

Corporate Me

Marc Jacobs top from Barneys


Gap Jacket

I just got a new job and it's good, very, very good. It is however, corporate. Hello, business casual. To keep me sane, I will keep the edge and stay away from slacks, anything taylored and hosiery (so gross). Here are a couple things to get me started in my first week.

J. Crew

Gemma Cardigan $79

Pixie Pants $88

Charlie Platforms

Ok, so I haven't bought any real clothing in awhile (rule is during unemployment, no clothes unless they come from Target) but I want all of these for fall. Did I mention, I'm dreaming about fall and it's only July? It's hot and humid in the south and I'm tired of wearing flip flops and tank tops.

Jackets

Soia & Kyo from Bluefly

Calvin Klein

Is it too early to dream of fall?

Feist Poster

From Apartment Therapy and Vahalla Studios

Orla Kiely sale

Layered Sweater $167

Elephant Shirt $75

Leather Satchel $389

Still a stretch for my wallet but so cute. Too bad I can't justify these as interview clothing.

Adidas Silver Line

Love these items and they are all on sale, most over 50% off.

And we are off!
