I know Spring is here, but leave it to me to bid on this...

Just won these Vera napkins on Ebay...perfect for summer, after I get them washed a few times.

I finally found cushions for the chair, and on sale hehe...Muji had these pillow cases 70% off, although I had to buy the inside, but either way, I love animal print, and the khaki linen makes zebra a little more tolerable.


My bookcase isn't really a new addition, I've had it for like 2 months, but just wanted to share. I got in the Annex Flea Market in Chelsea on a Sunday afternoon. I like going around that time because the vendors just want to get rid of stuff at that point so they'll knock off a lot from the price. Sure you don't get first pick on things, but you get really good deals.

Tracy Feith is down the street from me, and I walk in there at least once a week just to see the colors. Especially with the never-ending cold. His dresses are spectacular, the fabrics, the color combinations. This guy knows his stuff, its strange we don't read much about him. His creative director came out in Vogue this month, and I met her at the store this weekend, so nice, and so freaking cool. Anyway. In the spirit of summer I'm going to try to get some T. F. Vibes in the apartment.

Want to get this. Brooklyn Modern:Architecture, Interiors, and Design by Diana Lind.

Acne Studios just opened up a shop in Soho, and I think these are quite nice. They have a pair of white shoes as well that are awesome, but I guess they sold out because they aren't for sale. Anyway. Acne always gets it right. and don't get me started on their publication....

My friend Kristia and I paid a visit to the Brooklyn Flea this weekend. It was packed, and a nice start, but I must agree with a few others about thehigh prices. I was totally broke, so couldn't buy anything regardless, but they did have some nice teacups with hand painted Chinese motifs that I was eyeing, the price was right, as well as some funky 1960s glasses that could've doubled as an alternative to champagne flutes. I will definitely be going back! Would love to have a table, but what would I sell???

Ryan McGinley opening tonight at 83 Grand, photos will be on display for the next month.

happy belated easter. I spent the weekend visiting my aunt and uncle in mt.laurel/cherry hill, NJ. We also took a drive around central Philadelphia, where Carlo had never been, so that fun. And amazing food! My cousin is a great cook...

I've been majorly procrastinating so here's a list of things I would like to get done in the apartment before summer. I know I've put things off, when I just received the notice if I want to renew my lease. Already!

1. paint my walls
2. set up a work area in my apartment
3. find some fun champagne flutes
4. upholster the cushions on my chair
5. find some nice stuff to hang on my walls

Beautiful ad for Sonia Rykiel

Embroidery as art by Takashi Iwasaki. I just want to wear it.

This month's Domino features the 10 Favorite things of stylist Linda Rodin. On the list, rose pillows from my favorite shop, A Detacher on Mott Street. I love love love the color palette she has going on in this image from the New York Times.

happy st. paddy's day.

Yesterday it was decided this historic Coppertone Ad would not be put away forever. This ad one of my favorite things to see when being driven as a kid to my friends house in Miami Beach. It was decided that they would take it town to refurbish it, then put it back in its original location. Apparently Coppertone was developed by a phamacist in Miami many years ago. Right now I am awake solely because my sunburn is so bad! I need to come home more often.

Julian Schnabel knows pink. Vanity Fair visits his Palazzo Chupi in the West Village. I love the colors.

greetings from miami.I am home for a few days hoping to get some sun and enjoy friends and family...

hello again....

Been a while, just wanted to stop by and say hi. Things have been very non-stop over here, my family has been in town for over a week, and before that I had a friend here. I've been working as a freelancer at Kiehl's and taking a promotional branding class at Parsons as well. So you can imagine! Anyway...I am very excited for Spring to come, I've already started to buy open toe shoes and ethnic jewelry. (Not that you can't wear chunky necklaces in the fall, I just look forward to big necklaces for spring, like I do scarves for the fall) so anyway...Hopefully I will going home to Miami in March for the Emmanuel Perrotin Galerie Opening, to redeem my Standard Bingo prizes with Carla, and to see my family and friends. I also don't have any jobs lined up for March! Oops! I need to get on that. Anyway....I leave you with one of my most exciting purchases on sale from Opening Ceremony. A Christian Joy for TopShop Sailboat dress. Coincidentally shes the girl that does the Karen O. costumes.

Starstruck

Not that its a big deal, although being openly starstruck is shunned in this city lol, but Karen O. just picked up her laundry next to me, I let her butt since I couldn't find my ticket. I love her.
